The postal service in my neighborhood was the absolute WORST I have ever seen. They were short of employees with some walking off of the job midday, others out on disability due to repetitive stress injuries (including my regular carrier) and the inability to hire enough new staff. I scheduled pickups six days a week and was lucky to have one or two picked up each week. Some days my entire neighborhood didn’t receive mail deliveries either. I had many conversations with carriers and they are working long, long hours and being overworked. They even have to work today, a postal holiday. Why? Several told me it was because of Amazon. Apparently they have to give Amazon packages priority over delivering the regular mail. I was told one of the reasons they don’t pick up packages is that there is no room on the truck due to so many Amazon packages. How Amazon became a priority over regular mail service is something I am trying to track down. I have written to the USPS many, many times and get form letters back. I wrote to the federal government and got a form letter back. Frustrated, to say the least. Prices keep going up but service keeps going down.
