Christmas gifts may not arrive on time; USPS sees high demand and delays

Christmas gifts may not arrive in time as U.S. Postal Service offices struggle to keep up with delivery demands.

James Boxrud, a USPS spokesperson based in Colorado, said they’re experiencing historical mail volume.

“This week is our busiest week, of our busiest month, of our busiest year ever,” Boxrud said. “We are seeing so many packages.”

Millions of Americans turned to online shopping during the pandemic for everyday necessities and again for holiday shopping.

“It’s like the perfect storm,” Boxrud said.

USPS is overwhelmed as people experience long delays and deliveries past the promised window on priority shipping.

  1. USPS in Nanticoke is a pure joke , the so called postmaster sits on her a$$ all day and makes excuses for all the BS late mail . I call her Susie pork chop.

  2. Have to ask yourself why.
    I am currently missing 3 packages.
    One has been sitting in hyattsville for 3 weeks, another is sitting in NC for 3 weeks and even though we paid for tracking they are not scanning packages so one looks like it never left the seller.
    One package from dressbarn arrived in 3 days.
    Post master general got rid of the sorting machines before the election. why
    No tracking, why
    Its all intentional

    1. Nope. Even Amazon packages were late or lost when they were supposed to be 2 day shipping. All were shipped via USPS. Everything I ordered via UPS or FEDEx came on time. Why? Because anything run by the feds fails.
