I try to avoid if all cost shipping through USPS you never know when you’re going to get something if you’re going to get it I wish every place would add options for UPS or even sometimes FedEx if they get it right absolutely the worst shipping service
It’s been two weeks shipping from a warehouse that is literally an hour from Palmetto and it still hasn’t come

Sent my granddaughter an envelope via certified mail. I'm in Florida and the mail is only in Palmetto, Ga. 10 days later. No one answers the phone. I feel I have no recourse. At the mercy of the USPS. :)

Nightmare. I sell on ebay and have stopped using USPS because of the Palmetto Facility. I live in Florida. Packages traveling North that were processed thru the facility were either tied up for weeks or NEVER arrived at their correct destination. There are plenty of posts and videos online documenting the abuse. For someone wanting to make money, mail a package, insure it for the MAX , and make sure it goes through Palmetto. This is just a JOKE of course. But so is the current USPS.
