Message:: [QUOTE="AtlantaMan, post: 26215037, member: 158885"]I used to live in Pennsylvania and used the USPS (registered, insured) to send coins to GC.  I sent 2 packages and followed them through Cincinnatti and other places.  They were pretty darn slow, more than 10 days. One got stuck outside of Irvine for over 5 days and I filed a complaint and after several phone calls, it finally got unstuck and it was delivered.   So, I felt pretty OK with it, even though I filed a complaint, and would do it again. I now live in metro-Atlanta. In 2024, the USPS opened up the new "Atlanta Regional Processing & Distribution Center (RPDC)" in Palmetto, GA.  Nearly all the region's mail, including registered and insured, flows through this facility. What a mess.  Not only are regular citizens complaining about it, but local officials, state officials, and even the Georgia lawmakers in Congress are complaining and they have involved the Postmaster General. Mail and packages get "lost" (stolen) and it is suggested, here and there, that it might be an inside job.  I am not feeling pretty OK about sending anything through this place. Essentially, there is no way to avoid it if you live in metro-Atlanta and still use the USPS. So, what to do?  Other than waiting for a coin show within driving distance where GC will have a booth (Sept 3, IMEX, Nashville) is UPS or FedEx a reasonable alternative? If so, what level of service would you use?  Thanks!![/QUOTE]
