DI is excited to announce that we’re now offering FedEx SmartPost shipping! SmartPost is a partnership between FedEx and the USPS where packages are first shipped by FedEx to your local USPS location and are then delivered to you by the postal service.

• SmartPost is a low-cost shipping option for small, light packages being shipped to the continental US. Packages being shipped to Alaska and Hawaii are often cheaper than other FedEx options regardless of size.
