My gift subscription just started a couple of weeks ago and it’s a huge weekly treat. They’d better not start messing around with the delivery time frame! In fairness, my mail carriers are really great. But any trip to the Decatur PO that can’t be accomplished via the self-serve kiosk by the front door is guaranteed to be a huge time suck and generate enough aggravation and disgust for the next two days.

This is the one thing I miss about OTP living – the small friendly post offices and friendly mail carriers. I go out of my way to the PO at N Dekalb Mall when I need stamps. Lived in 30030 8+ years and used the Decatur PO only a few times and have always been disappointed in its service.

I have avoided 90% of visits to the PO with stamps.com. If I must go, I go to Avondale.

Since I moved back to Decatur in August, I’ve had the same problem with the New Yorker. Fortunately, I’m about 6 weeks behind on reading them, so no biggie. But if I ever get caught up, I’d imagine this will piss me off!

That’s probably because the employees there pass around your mags until they’ve all had a chance to read them!
