If your mail ends up here it will be lost forever. Wish I could give 0 stars.

Over 10 days to scan acceptance of package that was physically dropped off. Why is there no option to give no stars

The guest experience survey popped up at the end for me to answer and the employee answered instead of allowing me to. Sneaky behavior.

Great job usps palmetto, you only lost 3 out 5 packages this Christmas season. Better improvement from last year when you lost them all but one. The one came destroyed with tire marks all over the shirt inside the package. Better luck next year. For now just keep collecting money from tax payers to keep the inefficient crap show going.

Two weeks ago, I shipped packages to Atlanta, GA for Christmas at the cost of $92.65. One package arrived and the other is stuck in Palmetto, which is 30 minutes from the destination. I am getting nowhere with customer service. This absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with the United States Post Office. I will never again ship with USPS. I think FedEx or UPS is the way to go. I can't believe I can't trust the United States Post Office to do their job!
My package finally arrived. I mailed it on December 15, 2025 and it arrived January 17, 2026. My local post office sent them an email on my behalf regarding the missing package. I then filed a lost package with the post office and then with the postmaster general. Shortly after filing with the postmaster general, it showed up. Again, Palmetto is failing and should be overhauled.
