Why don’t they just do mail delivery every other day, I think mail delivery Mon. Wed. Fri. Would be be fine with most people, if packages come in deliver just the packages!! You could have just a few people each day deliver packages!!
That appears to be the case where I live only delivery is every day with only a few people actually receiving mail and the local delivery person taking a break in the back street.
They're not overwhelmed, they're just lazy. Legitimate mail such as billing notices have been taken over by on line banking and payments and most of the crap the post office delivers is just junk mail such as political advertisements and local business advertisements.
There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why there should be a slow down in delivery service considering all that's left for them to deliver..........
