It’s been a growing problem this holiday season – people waiting for mail and packages that seemingly will never arrive. United States Postal Service spokesperson Elizabeth Najduch told Michigan News Network there have been issues.

“This has been an extraordinary year of unprecedented challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Postal Service has seen a significant increase in the volumes of mail and packages. So we do appreciate the patience of our customers, and our employees are so dedicated. They’re working around the clock.”

Najduch does not have the numbers on how much the mail volumes have increased or how long are the delays.  However, she says that if you have something to send out, it’s best to get it in the mail as soon as possible.
