USPS not successful in delivering mail

Saw the story in Sunday morning’s Yuma Sun about protecting the United States Postal Service and its legion of dedicated employees. How nice.

Now, I would like to share the United States Postal Service as experienced by myself and some of my neighbors. I live in Savant Estates just east of the Walmart located on 32nd St. I have lived here for over six years and for over six years, I have served as the neighborhood letter carrier. Let me explain, on a regular basis, I have opened up my mailbox, with my house number written on it, and I have received mail addressed to one of my neighbors and so my neighbors get to play letter carrier also, they have received mail addressed to me in their mailbox.

I have made several attempts to get the situation corrected but to no avail. For you see, when I call the local post office, I get either a busy signal or it will ring, ring and ring and ring several times before, maybe someone will finally answer. I explain in great detail the problems we are having to the person on the line. I have been reassured time and time again that the service will improve. I have even filed official complaints with USPS in Washington. Some of my neighbors have gone so far as to reach out to Congressman Paul Gosar.

With the United States Postal Service’s inability to deal with, to handle, and more importantly, correct mail delivery service in one small neighborhood, how can they be trusted to deal with and handle our voting?

Gotta go for now, need to check my neighbor’s mail.
