ATLANTA — Several Midtown Atlanta neighbors are claiming their packages are disappearing or not making it to them at all. They are blaming the United States Postal Service.
“I got a notification from our locker system here that I got a delivery from USPS. So, I went to retrieve the package but there was nothing in the locker,” said Stephen Gaskins.
Gaskins said at first he thought the delivery message was a mistake. He then contacted the locker system office that operates his complex in Midtown Atlanta.

They showed him a video of a postal worker inside the room.
“The room is secured but they can get in. They have the codes to open the locker,” said Gaskins.
Gaskins said the video showed the worker allegedly typed the code to notify him of his delivery.
“When I arrived there, again there was nothing in the locker and she clearly from the video, she left with it. It happens here with other residents also. Thes packages do not just disappear. I am just trying to track my package down.”
