FEDEX Smartpost is NOT smart

I had to refuse delivery on a FEDEX Smartpost item from Ebay:


it clearly says Smartpost



It turns out that Smartpost is defunct:

 

That begs the question:  why didn't FEDEX tell their customers that Smartpost doesn't exist anymore, wouldn't that be the smart thing to do instead of accepting a shipment as Smartpost and then changing it to FEDEX Ground before delivery ?

I guess I am just old now and expect people to do what they say they will do.
