Anyone else having significant USPS issues?
We live in a normal city in Tennessee.
We had a great guy delivering our mail until earlier this year. We live on a bit of a hill and it’s certainly not the easiest route with all the walking they do. After many years his feet had had it and he switched to an easier route. Since then the Post Office has simply not filled the position since it’s “hard” and they’re having a difficult time retaining people. They are super low staff and using people on almost unlimited overtime to make up the difference, and I know similar staffing issues were happening in the last year at our old place across the country.
In the past three weeks it’s become really bad. We’re lucky to get mail once a week, and this week haven’t received what informed delivery said we should have since Friday of last week, including some fairly time sensitive stuff. We complained and were told we were supposed to get mail on Tuesday (nope) and assured we’d get mail today (Thursday). Well… that didn’t happen.
Our neighbors haven’t received mail either and my daughter heard her teacher complaining about not receiving mail.
Just wondering if this is a local thing or if it’s getting bad everywhere?
