Your US Postal Service deliveries to your home... later than usual? [View all]

We in Atlanta are experiencing mail deliveries up until around 8 pm in the metro area and the Postmaster is being evasive as to why. The Union says it's because of short staffing.

I am just wondering if you all have noticed your mail arriving consistently later than you are used to.

Thanks!

Curt
