I’ve had the fewest shipping problems with the USPS out of all of them. They often deliver early of the original estimate.
But they do occasionally mess things up, like delivering my package to a neighbor.

I've had nothing but good luck....up until a month ago or two ago. Something must have changed recently. I've had most things arrive late and bounce back and forth between Atlanta and Palmetto.

Same is happing to me right now . I ordered a part for a job I’m doing on feb 18 .it shipped from Flordia on the 19th It arrived late at my local hub in Buford on the 1st of March . Then I got notified it was in transit to another facility , stayed that way for over a week , then it showed up at the palmetto ga hub on the 7th . it’s been in transit to a different facility since. I’ve notified my shipper and he just sent out another part, my customer is getting tired of waiting . USPS sucks . .

I have absolutely no problems with USPS package delivery. FedEx is the one I loathe with a black passion, they take forever, lose stuff, and never deliver a package without some kind of issue.

Welcome back.
Y'all fussing about packages for fishing stuff lol. Try waiting on checks to pay bills to your concrete supplier for slabs at 15-25k a pop with no tracking. Something has happened in the last 3 weeks, I'm assuming it's the palmetto thing. Checks coming from just north of atl to just south of atl shouldn't take more than 2 days.

I don’t believe the rural post offices are having those type of issues. Every time I hear of these issues with the USPS it seems to be with metro areas.
Yep. Sometimes I can order something from Amazon one afternoon, and USPS brings it the next morning...

Same here. The last three shipments via FedEx were delivered to the entrance of a gated community one mile away from our house. No problems with any of the other package delivery companies. UPS, Amazon, DHL all deliver to our front door.
What I love with FedEx is tracking a package and watching it pass my house at a distance of three miles on I-40 ten times while it's going back and forth to Atlanta, Greensboro, Greenville, Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Knoxville, Columbia, and Bristol for a week and a half before finally going out for delivery from a tiny town two hours from here.

Bet the concrete guy thinks your giving him the buisness. The old "I left my checkbook at home" gig.

I've had major problems out of USPS and UPS over the last several months. Most recently, I had ordered a 10' Minn Kota Raptor for my new boat through a dealer on Amazon. Tracking # showed that it was scanned in with UPS and then never moved. It sat like that for 10 days until I was able to file a dispute. Somehow it arrived on my doorstep 24 hours later after I submitted the value of the lost package...
I never have problems with UPS. FedEx is the worst. Their delivery dates are always off by a few days. I ordered something from FL six days ago shipped by the USPS. The packing tracking info shows it going back and forth between the Atlanta Distribution Center and Palmetto. Various reports say they’re having problems in the Atlanta area. No kidding.
Plans to modernize the USPS aren’t working. This is my shocked face.

USPS mail delays could soon be a nationwide problem, congresswoman says
Rep. Lizzie Fletcher said the plan to modernize USPS's networking system isn't working and the rest of the country may soon see similar issues.

Retired postal worker here. The closing/downsizing of the Boggs rd facility and opening of the Palmetto facility is messing w delivery. The PO is trying to figure out the personnel issues, who goes who stays, were we need people. Not so much as herding cats , more like who is in charge? Not the first time, wont b the last. I wish i could type, I got a million stories.
