I typically get 2 or 3 pieces of mail a day. It is not unusual for me to skip a day but I don’t think I have ever gone 3, much less 6 days with no delivery.
I’m in Direct Mail, largest shop in my state. Volume is way down, because business is way down in many sectors. Take In my specialty for example: travel and tourism. GONE.
Early on in the COVID apocalypse, we were doing boatloads of “Our Covid-19 Policy” letters and cards. That’s over too.
The new Postmaster General immediately slammed the brakes on paying OT to sort/deliver Standard Rate (bulk) mailings. This is causing a lot of grief for some of our largest volume mailers.
Here in Northern Virginia- same thing plus major screw ups in sorting going down as well.
