The one in palmetto?

It’s made national news coverage over the last 4-5 months for being ran so poorly.

Thinks it’s mainly staffed by inner city DEI hires that don’t care to be there.

If you find it on Google maps it has some images tagged to it. It’s funny and sad at the same time.

It's absolutely terrible here for mail. I've had so many parcels just disappear that I've all but stopped mailing anything. It has taken 2 months for a letter to travel across town if it had to go through the "new and improved" sorting facility.

There is one in Palmetto, One by the Airport and one in Suwanee. I had a recent package travel back and forth between the airport and Suwanee 4 times before heading north to come visit me in the south. I just got a box from Jacksonville Fl. that sat at the post office in Jacksonville for 2 months. The shipper sent a 2nd package after it went missing.

I had a package go from the Palmetto center to a different state twice!

How many people work for the post office?  Answer=50% at best.

Mail in GA is horrible. Atlanta processed a package I had coming to me in Ga once and sent it to the wrong Post office in a very small town near me. I drove to that Post office and asked if I could get the package and they said no. They pointed at one of those big cardboard boxes that was partially filled with packages just from that day going back that was delivered wrong to them the day before. They said they would not look through all of them for it. Said they send that many back every time they get the next day delivery, and it would be back in Atlanta the next day. I can't imagine how many wrong ones larger local Post offices receive every day.

My son had one hit the Atlanta mail processing facility, and then bounce all the way to Colorado before coming back.

I had a small firearms part shipped USPS and get stuck in the Atlanta sorting center. After a few days it showed as someone picked it up. I considered it lost at that point.

A week later it was in my mailbox the day after I ordered another one. I'll give the second one to one of my shooting buddies.

Just glad the US isn't in charge of gravity and making water flow downhill. Sunrises and sunsets too.

Just had a package hit Memphis to Jax back to ATL. Don't make sense.

Package hit Palmetto center July 19 - still not here. Sent request for help multiple times to USPS for help - get "no worries, in route" response. I am 3 hours away!

Probably stuffed in the same bin as my custom kitchen cleaver.




Croatia to Atlanta in 9 days and then lost, never to be seen again.  At least the maker refunded me.  I told him I would gladly pay him again if it happened to show up.  Not counting on it.

I ordered a gas block from Allegheny Arms in Pennsylvania a few months back.  It went from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Jacksonville, Florida -- to Atlanta to Memphis to Atlanta to Cusseta, Georgia -- where it's still listed as moving through system on its way to destination.

I filed a claim with my credit card company (since I couldn't claim it) and ordered a replacement.  That took several weeks to get to Midland, Georgia as well.  The manufacturer called a few nights back asking about the card dispute and I explained I filed after three weeks with nothing.  The sender gets protection using Priority Mail.

Do not use Ground Advantage.

That sucks and packages are not scanned along the way like Priority packages are.

I have two barrels MIA and I believe Atlanta is the common denominator.

My cleaver finally showed up.


It went from Croatia -> NY -> Palmetto -> Atlanta (sat there for 5 weeks, filed a missing package form)-> Nashville -> Miami -> Atlanta -> me.

Never any correspondence from USPS other than when it was finally delivered, they sent an email a day later saying it was.

Here's another kooky shipping story that is on going right now.

A friend in Marietta ordered a part from a vendor in Kennesaw, distance between both locations is roughly 10 miles.  Yes he could have gone to pick it up, he and the vendor are actually friends.  But he enjoyed the convenient of shopping from home.

The part quickly shipped, it left Kennesaw and went through the postal distribution system and arrived at the Jacksonville, FL distribution system.  Then it turned around and is now on its way to Marietta, GA.  I guess the part went on a sightseeing trip.

He could have had that part and back home in 30 minutes.  But now 5 days later he's still waiting.
