Residents of a Sandy Springs neighborhood are demanding answers after they spent a week without getting their mail.
Steven Lavine lives along Wickley Way, just off Spalding Drive, where he says the mail did not come for any of his neighbors on Sept. 25, a Wednesday.
“Thursday no mail, Friday no mail, Saturday no mail,” he said.
This past Wednesday, after one week of no mail, he drove to the Sandy Springs post office on Hightower Trail to get an explanation.
He spoke with one employee.
“They’re understaffed,” Lavine said. “That’s the only thing he could say to me.”

After he filed his complaint, the mail came Wednesday. It again did not come Thursday but it was delivered Friday.
Sherry Silverman, who lives across the street, said even if the post office is strapped for people, waiting a week for mail is unacceptable.
“To me, that seems like an excuse because what can you say when they say we’re short staffed?” she said “There is no accountability. There’s just not accountability.”
