While this is FedEx I also see both FedEx, UPS and now, Amazon trucks in my neighborhood several times a day. In fact had 2 packages delivered by different trucks on the same day. What I suspect, it is on the merchant side with FedEx offering a cheaper price if they can just drop off at the postal distribution center which they feel is cheaper (and less risky of theft) if they don't have to do the final delivery. This is only a $36 package, so sure Monoprice wanted the cheapest option. Had similar happen last month with Newegg order. Usually, if not auto-redirected (UPS is good about it) to the UPS/FedEx store near me where I pick it up rather than sitting out front, I sign onto my account while enroute and manually specify the change. FedEx isn't offering that option within my account.
