This report is NOT accurate. The issue is not centered around 1 location. It is the result of the 'consolidation' that happened on 2/24. All of metro Atlanta is impacted. Truck routes were 'consolidated' meaning some were eliminated, and where offices used to get daily outgoing mail pickups, last week they only received 1 or 2, where all the outgoing mail for many offices couldn't even fit all on the truck. Please do better 11alive - this is an issue that needs some serious attention brought to it. USPS knows EXACTLY what's going on - it's the impacts from their "Delivering for America' efficiency plan, and they are doing everything in their power to keep these negative impacts hush hush.
@@user-ts7ns7bt2vno, the trucking routes were contracted. In this area, with Davenport specifically. USPS ended those many of those route contracts. There were layoffs, but the issues creating the delays are no trucks coming through to pick up outgoing mail.
Broadview Post Office in Atlanta as well. I sent 4 priority packages on Feb 20 and 3 were delivered and 1 is still in processing at Atlanta NDC. Post Office notices that "Delays of up to 2 to 3 weeks is to be expected with all shipping including express. Please be patient during this transition. We hope to be back to normal within the following weeks."
I’m waiting for my fucking birth certificate so I can join the United States Marine Corps And you guys are playing with peoples livelihood You need to pay the post office people what they Deserve you wouldn’t be short staff if you were paid the people I’m in Gwinnett county North of Atlanta
I am having the same issue right now here in Atlanta and tow packages have been stuck for days here without being delivered! Please get someone into that facility to sort these people out and hold them accountable.
My package was sent from Arizona on march 1st. Now it’s going back and forth from palmetto and Fairburn. Went to my local post office and the excuse is Atlanta postal services are merging into 1. Im in Augusta Ga. At this point I’m ready to drive and pick up my package.
I got a $400 package that's stuck here been waiting since the 28th of last month for it all it's been saying is "in transit to next facility arriving late" hope it gets here safe and soon
The Roswell Rd carrier facility in North Atlanta/Buckhead also closed without any announcement. My lock change request to get a mailbox for my condo has been floating out there with no news for over 3 months. I have been unable to receive mail this whole time. Atlanta truly is descending into 3rd world status.
I been waiting on a package for over a week that is stuck at the Atlanta usps distribution center and haven't moved to my local post office for delivery
@11Alive The Palmetto Sorting Facility isn't the only USPS facility losing mail in Atlanta. Two packages sent via Priority mail in January and February vanished as soon as they hit the Atlanta GA Distribution Center. Missing mail reports were filed for both packages but USPS has been unable to locate the them as of this writing. Both packages were sent to an address just 50 miles away. One sent on January 12, 2024 went missing from their network on the January 13th; the other (a replacement for the first one) was sent on February 23,2024 and went missing on February 25th.
Ahhhh....it is not just isolated to Atlanta area. So far in 2024, I've received over 10 reports from clients stating that their item has never arrived, is stuck in transit, misdelivered, or stolen. And the USPS is of NO help! I can't afford to replace the items that the USPS keeps losing, and they refuse to follow up on their insurance.
Sort of expecting it. I'll have to ho yhe hoops, but already talked to yhe shipper, and they will replace the item. Also will ship via FedEx for replacement.
@@roberthorowitz63atleast ur shipper has some care in the world about it and knows what’s going on lol. I asked him what’s going on with my package not being tracked at all an arriving late, he kept trying to dismiss me gave me a attitude stating that he just ships it out an that’s all he knows I mean like I kinda have the sole right to know what’s going on with my package that I bought with my own money
So, are there any updates? I have several important packages that are stuck in palmetto, as do many posters on reddit, with no resolution and lots of excuses! :((
@@eri_noemi1462My sender shipped my package with UPS but for some reason it was shipped over to USPS after a couple days now my package is nowhere to be traced
Ive had to call the 800 line twice over a month as i tracked my package go sourh go west come to my post office only to leave again . I will give xredit to when i call they put a track on it and usually the next day it's in my mailbox. Plan to wait on hold 30-45 minutes and choose the music you like or they will pick music you may not like.
Happening in dc,maryland and Virginia also.I had to renew my drivers license from the dmv which is 10-15 mins from my home and still haven’t received it after a week.run a online store and my packages from my distributors are not moving and neither is my customers orders domestic or international.have a strong feeling they are lying about who’s being impacted and the severity of the problem cause it’s not just in Atlanta but everywhere and they are not reporting on it
YES! It is happening EVERYWHERE and the people at the USPS respond by arguing with you about missing packages, belittling you, telling you to use their Express service instead, file complaints (knowing it doesn't get resolved), or my favorite: If you don't like it go somewhere else.
My March rent payment have been stuck at Atlanta since 3/3. I’m on the verge of eviction. My management company doesn’t care about mail being stuck and I don’t have another $2000 to shell out for rent. USPS don’t care and want me to wait 10 days to replace the money orders I bought from to pay it. My family will be homeless in 10 days. WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN FOR ANYTHING!!!!
😭😭😭 My brothers memorial items are in a delayed package. It's going to his young daughter. He passed before she got to see him again. 😢😩😭 Please find these packages. My mother is also missing her check 😫😫😫
Word on the street is that they can't keep workers plus, they are doing a “new” hiring practice where the USPS hires people after 90’s days lay them off in order to keep the workers from becoming regular employees with benefits. The USPS wants these same people to be dedicated to the USPS in terms of scheduling, the starting pay is only $18.20 an hour, and playing with the schedule making it impossible to have another job or keep the job with the USPS because they’re playing a dirty game is horrible and tha's why the workers are walking out in heaps, those trucks will stay backed up and people will continue to leave.
Its all over the country. Out of 10 ebay orders last month from 10 different sellers. Ive received 2 of them. The others...in transit to the next facility. I am pissed.
I’ve had incoming and outgoing packages stuck at this Palmetto facility for a week. These inefficiencies all go up to incompetent Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, appointed in 2020 by you-know-who.
This is impacting a large area including north Georgia. And it's not just the Palmetto site, Fairburn distribution facility is also causing its fair share of issues as well. I have several valuable Priority mail packages that have been mis routed out of Palmetto with no scanned updated since Feb and several more misrouted to the wrong post office in Georgia only to repeat going through Palmetto again. Amazon seems to avoid these issues by going directly through the Atlanta distribution site and off the local post office. Several more inbound packages were misrouted out of state to the wrong distribution facility. Two or more might be lost and USPS support is non existent. On good day, a package might be delayed 2-5 days past the expected delivery date- have a dozen or more in limbo, lost, or misrouted as I type this. It's clear that the already shaky USPS has gone off the rails in several US locations (now Georgia) and will only get worse as time goes on. My local postmaster has never seen it so bad in his 35 years of service.
Most of my packages look like this I could post 20 of these examples and far worse.- Completely broken system Moving Through Network In Transit to Next Facility March 14, 2024
