USPS Mail Delivery Delays Upset Baltimore County Residents

DUNDALK, MD — For the past week, numerous Dundalk residents have not been receiving their mail. Other Baltimore County residents have noticed delays, too. Fed up with the lack of service, Lanis Gray went to the post office himself. At first, he was told that if he didn't receive any mail, it's because there wasn't any mail for him. On the second visit, he found his mail still sitting there at the post office.

"I'm having to come here every single day to pick up my mail, which I think is ridiculous," Gray told WBAL-TV.

Dee Schroeder, a retired postal worker, told WBAL-TV that she hasn't received her mail in approximately a week. Some people are waiting on unemployment checks. Maike Hannah's grandson receives his medication via the postal service and she grew concerned about any delays in shipping it to her home. So she gave up on the USPS and switched the delivery service to ensure its timely arrival.

The U.S. Postal Service informed WBAL-TV that "is committed to providing the highest level of customer service, which includes timely, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages. The Postal Service adjusts staffing continuously to serve our customers. Baltimore post offices continue to use additional carriers from nearby offices, when necessary, to provide adequate staffing."
