Columbus residents are facing growing frustration with delivery delays from the United States Postal Service (USPS), and it’s not just individuals who are experiencing the issue. Business owners, like Janet Morris of Ranger Joe’s, a company that serves the military and law enforcement communities, are seeing their bottom line being damaged by these delays. Morris has noticed that the mail delivery issues have been getting progressively worse, and she is concerned about customers not receiving the products she offers. One customer in Chicago has been waiting weeks after a product was shipped on March 12th, causing frustration for both the customer and business owner.
Ruth Francis, a Columbus resident, has been dealing with delayed mail for over a year. She relies on the USPS app to check for mail every day but even the information provided by the app is sometimes incorrect. Francis finds it frustrating to have to wait for packages that should be delivered in a timely manner, especially when she needs medication to be shipped to her as a veteran.
The impact of these delivery delays extends beyond individual customers; businesses like Ranger Joe’s are also feeling the strain. Morris emphasizes that packages being delivered on time is crucial to her business operations and customer satisfaction. In response to these concerns, USPS has stated that they are aware of the issues and working quickly to resolve them. However, it remains unclear when customers can expect their packages to arrive or if there will be any changes in postal services moving forward.
