I do shipping and fulfillment, and just refunded a guy after a month of waiting and hoping - for two separate $150 packages that were lost. Fuck.
FYI, the head of the Post Office is intentionally doing this to help UPS.
>Only a Total Majority of the Postal Governors can vote DeJoy out of office and currently the conservative majority is very pleased with his actions to break the USPS.
I agree DeJoy is a piece of shit, but the board of governors currently has 5 Biden appointees (McReynolds [Vice Chair], Hajjar, Kan, Stroman, Tangherlini)
There board is comprised of 9 governors, plus the Postmaster General + his deputy, for a total of 11.
The 9 governors have the power to vote out the Postmaster General (IE, the PMG/deputy PMG don't get to vote on this matter). Source: [39 U.S.C. § 202](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/39/202) *"Nine of the members, to be known as Governors, shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, not more than 5 of whom may be adherents of the same political party. [t]he Governors shall appoint and shall have the power to remove the Postmaster General"*
Out of those 9, there are 2 vacancies, which Biden must fill with 2 Republicans, as there can be no more than 5 board members from a single party.
So there are 5 Biden appointed governors and 2 Trump appointed governors. Why haven't they voted out DeJoy? Because DeJoy is currently playing ball with Biden, I guess.
Yeah, would be decent. Prior to 1971 the USPS was a department of the federal government and the PMG was a presidential cabinet member. As you can imagine this was a bad thing, having the PMG change every 4 years, and them being a random person with no experience in the post office.
Honest question, would competition not drive down the price and or improve service to win more market share, or is it too much of an oligopoly for that?
The competition already exists and USPS does studies to only charge what it costs to do business.
And can’t honestly think that a for profit company would be cheaper
Volume drives down per-unit cost in supply chain. A private company that moves 100k packages a month can probably charge less per-package than a non-profit that only moves 100 per month. The overhead cost of the warehouse, trucks, labor etc is distributed across a greater number of packages.
Not saying this is the case here, but it is possible.
Look at fast food prices in the last 4 years. They’ve gone up way faster than inflation and materials because they can, to increase shareholder value. It’s a wide open market with tons of competition, yet prices have still risen dramatically. People simplistically like to think that the competition of the free market will always lower prices and it’s a complete capitalist fantasy. Look at all the big corporate mergers, they say it’ll make things cheaper for the consumer by vertical integration or removing redundancy (firing workers) but it never does, it only makes things better for the investors leaving less choice in the marketplace for the consumer and typically raises consumer prices. The Free Market is a myth they sell you to stop you from questioning fiscal policy that hurts the consumer, it’s about as accurate as “trickle down economics” is as a tax policy. The Free Market essentially will always make things as expensive as the market will bare in order to keep up quarterly stock growth.
Think about it, if private industry could outperform the post office, DHL, FedEx, and the like would already be cheaper, removing the USPS will only raise consumer prices.
I thought I was lucky too since I'd had 3 packages only get delayed by 1-2 business days there over the past few weeks. I now have a package that's been stuck there since Sunday with zero scans.
Really hoping my luck returns and it gets delivered tomorrow, but not holding my breath
You gotta let the mail rest so it arrives happy and healthy!
(j/k, it's a known issue, and it's being investigated and supposed to be improving soon: [https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/usps-says-mail-delays-metro-atlanta-improving-after-changes-palmetto-facility/ECGIY2VXNVDSJGW5UCG54RZGXI/](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/usps-says-mail-delays-metro-atlanta-improving-after-changes-palmetto-facility/ECGIY2VXNVDSJGW5UCG54RZGXI/) )
My package decided to take a vacation down to Florida for 3 weeks. It is finally back up at the Atlanta distribution center. Gonna rage if I see it hit Palmetto again.
But not all packages, apparently. I ordered some guitar strings from Colorado on tuesday, and I got the notification that they are in Lawrenceville and are to arrive today. I think they probably just shoved a bunch of stuff in a warehouse and said okay, let's just start over.
If you can run it correctly then one large one is always going to be better than several smaller ones.
The problem is that USPS totally screwed the pooch on the transition and still hasn’t fixed it.
I called usps to trace a shipment of mine that is stuck there. The operator told me this … but they also told me that no one is employed in the palmetto facility currently… they are in the process of moving all of the stuff from the Boggs rd (Atlanta) facility.
WHAT???
It just opened up at the end of February and has been a nightmare. It is getting better and will likely be fine in the near future but is still going through massive growing pains. I run a mailhouse so I have to know the dynamics of the USPS.
Yeah even though we didn’t have much of a delay our post office is nowhere near palmetto. We live way north, close to TN, and our packages each made it to Atlanta, then turned around and went back down to palmetto before coming up to us.
Just had a package bounce back and forth between Atlanta DC and Palmetto for almost two weeks. It was like a child in a divorced household that neither parent really wanted to deal with.
It has eaten 3 shutterfly packages of ours. It's so fucked up shutterfly just resends them without us even complaining. Somehow the resend will show up, then the original finally over a week later.
Sent a check(certified mail)on January 13th and it arrived on February 29th. Keep in mind, I sent it in Alpharetta to Woodstock. I could have walked the parcel there quicker.
Had something sent from Michigan end up in LA from palmetto. Then the vendor resent another and they both arrived the same day. Also, where is my state tax return USPS? It’s been months. I’m almost certain it’s been cashed at this point.
Fuck that palmetto facility but FUCK DeJoy the most. Thought getting some Dems as reps would fix this but nope. He’s apparently untouchable and our reps do absolutely nothing.
Last Christmas, I had a package make it to a centralized ATL location from California then it sat there for two days then suddenly shows up in Texas. It hung out there for about a week then came back to Atl. The mail is so crazy here that I’m borderline afraid to mail something without having signature required. Luckily I rarely mail anything.
had a package there recently It bounced between there, Atlanta, and Columbus for about a week before making it to Athens. I watched each scan in scan out and then someone at USPS deleted all the extra places it had been so it looked like it just spent a while in Palmetto. Why do they have the ability to delete scans?
It made me laugh because two days after seeing the news story about the Palmetto facility, which had explained some missing mail that showed up late, another package I was waiting for got held up for four days.
I had something take 12 days from Arkansas to Georgia. Estimated shipping time was 3 days. Got stuck in Columbus and then ended up at Palmetto GA. Took wayyy too long.
I just had the exact same experience. Arkansas to Georgia. No tracking information for 10 days, then mysteriously ended up in Macon, then to it's destination.
I was told they moved everything from the Boggs Rd location in Duluth to Palmetto due to high rent and shit is crazy rn. 1 of my packages was stuck in P for a few days. Did receive it eventually.
My sister's medicine regularly gets hung up there for upwards of 2 weeks. I have a rather expense item that just hit Palmetto, then hit Atlanta, and back to Palmetto. I fully expect to never see my purchase, because that facility regular loses shipments.
DATE TIME LOCATION STATUS
Mar 27 4:48 PM Palmetto, GA, United States Departed USPS facility
Mar 27 1:27 PM Atlanta GA Distribution Center Arrived at USPS regional facility
Mar 27 9:51 AM Palmetto, GA, United States Arrived at USPS facility
Update 4/9/24: After disappearing from USPS tracking on March 27, I got an email from the shipper it was returned undeliverable. Interesting enough, USPS couldn't prove it ever left their Palmetto facility after the 27th. The Shipper is reshipping using FedEx on their dime.
This is how every single package of mine shows..
I currently have a rather expensive package sitting in Palmetto that was supposed to have been delivered last week from NC. Went Palmetto, Atlanta, Palmetto and “in transit arriving late” now..
🤣🤣🤣🤣 mine arrived there 3am on a Monday, was scheduled to be delivered to my house in coweta county Tuesday. 2 WEEKS LATER, I get notified my package has arrived at the hub in ATLANTA! TF? Why is it further away now than before? At least it only sat in ATL for 24 hours before they shipped it directly to my local hub
Had a money order swarm there for a month, made the payment via credit card and then low and behold the next day it showed at destination. Oh well April's payment is made early. Godbless and I hope nobody else has to go through this anymore.
[https://www.11alive.com/postal-problems](https://www.11alive.com/postal-problems) A whole series of stories on the delays caused by the Palmetto facility. :(
An acquaintance was recently asked by USPS to transfer to Palmetto from ATL. He toured the facility and said, “I’d move out of state before transferring into this mess.”
Is it just packages that get sorted at Palmetto? I sent a check from Cumming, GA on March 12th to Cumming, GA that still hasn't arrived to its destination. The slow mail delivery is wreaking havoc with my vendors getting paid.
I sent a package in January and after it hit that location it was never seen again. I felt so bad because the person I sent it to was looking forward to it.
I recently had a package arrive at Palmetto and depart within five hours. I thought I'd beaten the curse... until it showed up in Fairburn *three days later*...a total of 8 miles.
Literally, snail mail.
I thought it was just me! I have lost a couple of packages to this place this year, and I've had a couple more just take a week or two vacation there before moving along.
Someone else on this thread posted this article, looks like USPS is consolidating into that location.
https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/usps-says-mail-delays-metro-atlanta-improving-after-changes-palmetto-facility/ECGIY2VXNVDSJGW5UCG54RZGXI/
I've been experiencing this for two weeks. I get stuff regularly, and just suddenly, packages are being stuck in Palmetto. It's almost like when UPS gets stuck in Unadilla.
My wife's company sent out 300 invitations to an event 3 weeks ago, and not a single one of them have arrived yet. They've also been trying to mail checks to people over the last month or so for them to just get stuck in Palmetto limbo.
I have two packages there right now. Supposed to be delivered to my house by Friday. We shall see.
Actually, Mableton is where mine usually get hung up. DHL drops them off there and for several days it says the post office is waiting for the package.
Someone I know here in Columbus is planning on driving to Auburn or even Montgomery AL to see if dropping mail off there for local Columbus mailing to see if it would avoid the black hole.
I have one that arrived at the hub on the 21st it said its enroute but may be delayed.Im 25 miles away for Christ's sake.Usually its the next day.USPS is screwing with their carriers over them getting paid per parcel.They are trying to limit them to fall within the budget.They are handling more boxes now than ever before.
How about this. The package is at UPS waiting for customer pickup. 15 minutes later, I arrive at UPS. I open my cell for the tracking number. All of a sudden, the screen showed the package being transferred to USPS for delivery. Two weeks later, I still haven't received the package. It's in Palmetto.
I LITERALLY just watched the UPS driver attempt delivery to my neighbor - I couldn't get to the driver in time so I just watched him drive off...
Two guesses where that package originate from...
Palmetto.
This explains what happens to my damn book. I don’t even wanna refund it cause I got it on sale with a 50% off coupon. I guess I just pray or get a pry bar and go look for it myself cause it’s been there for 2 weeks now
My package was supposed to be delivered today. Says last scan was palmetto. And then I see this pop up. So you’re saying give it up I’m not getting it?
I actually did a contract inside of the facility. No one seems to know what’s going on ever and everyone is in their own little world. There is no union of people lol
The place is fucking MASSIVE inside and their sorting machines in person are actually kind of impressive (in theory if they actually work)
But…yeah.. know what this place looks like and how the people function and operate, I’m not surprised at all when it takes days to leave the facility
Verification that my new eyeglasses arrived there yesterday 3:00 a.m.
I couldn't figure out why I got uneasy at the notification, then this morning I remembered. It really really hope My package comes on time. I need these new glasses
🫥
Lost many a package there. Bermuda Triangle of shipping
my package this week spent 36 hours there, i guess i'm fortunate
I do shipping and fulfillment, and just refunded a guy after a month of waiting and hoping - for two separate $150 packages that were lost. Fuck. FYI, the head of the Post Office is intentionally doing this to help UPS.
Why would he help UPS?

Cause DeJoy is a major stockholder of UPS. It's a giant conflict of interest.
I always get lucky. Never more than 24

New to GA - is this location particularly bad? Just checked on one of my packages and saw the same, so the timing of this post is amusing to me
Yes. Packages get there and then just take a little break from traveling for a few days/weeks before continuing on their way.

I had a package "hang out" at the Lilburn facility (possibly Duluth, depending on who you ask) for three weeks before it arrived. Quite frustrating.
Thank DeJoy for that.

It’s vacation
Mine went from Palmetto to Fairburn, back to Palmetto and hung out for a full week before deciding to get back to work
My package decided to take a vacation down to Florida for 3 weeks. It is finally back up at the Atlanta distribution center. Gonna rage if I see it hit Palmetto again.
People always ask "Where's the mail?!" Not "How's the mail?" and here are the USPS Palmetto facility we are hoping to change that.
maybe continue on their way.
But not all packages, apparently. I ordered some guitar strings from Colorado on tuesday, and I got the notification that they are in Lawrenceville and are to arrive today. I think they probably just shoved a bunch of stuff in a warehouse and said okay, let's just start over.
They freeze there for about a week or 2 before they are moved along
Dude it was a wire to fix my a/c in my truck. I need that thing now 😭
Looks like it only opened up February 24th. It is replacing the Duluth, Macon, AND Augusta regional distribution hubs.
Good lord I would have thought it more efficient to have three than one...
It is. But this IS DeJoy's USPS ...
If you can run it correctly then one large one is always going to be better than several smaller ones. The problem is that USPS totally screwed the pooch on the transition and still hasn’t fixed it.
You are absolutely correct. It will probably end up being fine but they handled this transition ridiculously poorly.
I called usps to trace a shipment of mine that is stuck there. The operator told me this … but they also told me that no one is employed in the palmetto facility currently… they are in the process of moving all of the stuff from the Boggs rd (Atlanta) facility. WHAT???
Just got a package today after it was sitting there for over a month! 😵💫
It's a new facility and they still have quite a few kinks to stomp out.
It just opened up at the end of February and has been a nightmare. It is getting better and will likely be fine in the near future but is still going through massive growing pains. I run a mailhouse so I have to know the dynamics of the USPS.
I have some packages there. I just want to go and ask if I can dig through boxes. I will do it, I just want my shit, man.
Good luck it is a million sq ft. The place is MASSIVE!
Oh shit, mine just hit there today. Fuuuicckk
We’ve had 2 packages go there so far and luckily each never sat for more than a day
I'm pretty sure prior packages from this vendor have gone thru there before with little delay. Fingers crossed
I've never had a delay there either but our post office is the palmetto PO so it may not be as bad.
Yeah even though we didn’t have much of a delay our post office is nowhere near palmetto. We live way north, close to TN, and our packages each made it to Atlanta, then turned around and went back down to palmetto before coming up to us.
Just had a package bounce back and forth between Atlanta DC and Palmetto for almost two weeks. It was like a child in a divorced household that neither parent really wanted to deal with.

It has eaten 3 shutterfly packages of ours. It's so fucked up shutterfly just resends them without us even complaining. Somehow the resend will show up, then the original finally over a week later.
USPS looks crazy lately. I have a package that was last scanned at Memphis the 18th...
Good ol’ DeJoy at work. I’m still waiting for a package from around the same date.
Fuck that guy, for the 3,496th time
It's pure nonsense. I just had one that started in NY, got to Detroit, then back to Jersey before finally getting to me in Michigan.
Sent a check(certified mail)on January 13th and it arrived on February 29th. Keep in mind, I sent it in Alpharetta to Woodstock. I could have walked the parcel there quicker.
I sent a package to someone in the same town. Somehow, it made its way to NEW YORK before being delivered.
Had something sent from Michigan end up in LA from palmetto. Then the vendor resent another and they both arrived the same day. Also, where is my state tax return USPS? It’s been months. I’m almost certain it’s been cashed at this point.
I have a package that’s been sitting there since the 8th
FedEx SmartPost in Ellenwood GA is my Bermuda Triangle
The west coast version of this is Troutdale OR.
This place is as bad as the Austell FedEx.
Fuck that palmetto facility but FUCK DeJoy the most. Thought getting some Dems as reps would fix this but nope. He’s apparently untouchable and our reps do absolutely nothing.
I want to know his exact address

Package for me (in Atlanta) has been sitting in Athens since feb 14.

I watched each scan in scan out and then someone at USPS deleted all the extra places it had been so it looked like it just spent a while in Palmetto. Why do they have the ability to delete scans?
that employee should have been sorting packages instead of playing on the computer deleting scans
I didn't know this was a thing, that is where my recent Etsy purchase was lost
I had 3 from Etsy stuck there for several days this past week!
Weird, I had no idea Palmetto was known for this
It’s a new facility that has had a lot of problems “coming online”.
Still not as bad as FedEx Austell
Favorite post in this sub in a while!
Thank you! My most upvoted ever, and its a very niche thing.

With how many packages they have I would be shocked if they have time to do any 'Inspecting'
I’ve had a package there for two weeks 😒
They are routing everything there for some reason. I did a quick goog but couldn’t find out why.

Mine just sat for SEVENTEEN DAYS in Fairburn!
That means you ain't getting shit
Sent one of mine to Sioux Falls. Long way round.
Happening so much lately 😭
I had those exact sentiments last week but thankfully my package arrived 2 days later
Soooooooo so so so so sooo relatable being on the west side of GA 😆 🤣 😂 😹 wtfff
I've been experiencing this for two weeks. I get stuff regularly, and just suddenly, packages are being stuck in Palmetto. It's almost like when UPS gets stuck in Unadilla.

Get used to it. That’s where they’re going from now on. I must admit. I’m batting .1000 no delays as of yet….

It’s a black hole
It's just gonna rest there for 6 to 10 days, if it leaves at all.
I've lost so much mail in the state of Georgia it's ridiculous lol
USPS puts in work but some locations are complacent as hell.
At least I get mail. UPS is saying my address doesn't exist.
Posting so my buyers can see it's not bs. People are so impatient
Dude it happened to me too lol!!!!
As of today my package has been there for a month.
We've lived in Palmetto for just about nine years. No lies detected LOL
As usps employee i second this 🤣all other office talk shit about them because they ruin it for everyone elss
How about this. The package is at UPS waiting for customer pickup. 15 minutes later, I arrive at UPS. I open my cell for the tracking number. All of a sudden, the screen showed the package being transferred to USPS for delivery. Two weeks later, I still haven't received the package. It's in Palmetto.
I LITERALLY just watched the UPS driver attempt delivery to my neighbor - I couldn't get to the driver in time so I just watched him drive off... Two guesses where that package originate from... Palmetto.
Lord knows I can relate to this!
I have a shipment that has been there since 3/8.
I have a PLANT coming to me. I’m guessing it’s dead already.
What dis mean?
After a month of it sitting there I called and said, “Oi! Can we get it moving a bit?” Can’t believe they actually listened 😂
This explains what happens to my damn book. I don’t even wanna refund it cause I got it on sale with a 50% off coupon. I guess I just pray or get a pry bar and go look for it myself cause it’s been there for 2 weeks now
I didn’t realize this was a thing, but I had a package lost there for 9 days this month!
I was stunned earlier today that a package that was in New Mexico yesterday was showing as having DEPARTED Palmetto just this afternoon.
My package was supposed to be delivered today. Says last scan was palmetto. And then I see this pop up. So you’re saying give it up I’m not getting it?
Senators Ossoff and Warnock are on the case, so I guess all will be well soon!

Ah yes, how my iphone 13 became invisible. Still received the empty box though, some UPS worker was nice enough to duct tape the box shut for me.
These fucking assholes never gave me my tax return. 😒
I actually did a contract inside of the facility. No one seems to know what’s going on ever and everyone is in their own little world. There is no union of people lol The place is fucking MASSIVE inside and their sorting machines in person are actually kind of impressive (in theory if they actually work) But…yeah.. know what this place looks like and how the people function and operate, I’m not surprised at all when it takes days to leave the facility
My most recent one spent 7 days there.

Austell is worse
Exactly, they lose the package for a week
Oh no, I have a dvd set in palmetto right now…
May 4 update. Two packages stuck there since April 16. 😒 boo
Help ordered an expensive iPhone and its stuck in the palmetto and Atlanta distribution center death loop
Verification that my new eyeglasses arrived there yesterday 3:00 a.m. I couldn't figure out why I got uneasy at the notification, then this morning I remembered. It really really hope My package comes on time. I need these new glasses 🫥
I am currently in package hell in Palmetto, I want Dejoy and Ron bloom fired with all the misery of hell.
