NOT defending them, but anything that requires air shipping is now handled by fedex. package goes from usps-fedex terminal-fedex plane-destination fedex terminal-local usps hub-local post office.
Atllanta is UPS's hub so Fedex probably doesn't fly into that airport. Package probably went to the next closest airport and then by truck to a local USPS hub.
USPS also has a shared services agreement to deliver certain types of fedex as well.
I know is some parts of the country USPS doesn't even deliver. Places like Big Sky Montana, you have to go to the local PO to get your mail.
Don't ever use Fedex super saver, they will ship by slow donkey when you do. I've had packages take up to 11 days to reach me that were only shipped from Ohio. I could have biked there and back in that time.
And, DEFINITELY don't ever use CEVA logistics, they are the worst.
