Still waiting for mail? Sen. Sherrod Brown says Postmaster General must be removed

preview

NEW!6,985sharesCLEVELAND, Ohio -- Clevelanders are still waiting for Christmas cards, online shopping orders, medication, checks, and more, as Sen. is encouraging any Ohioan experiencing issues with delays to contact his office.“We’ll do everything we can to help,” Brown said.Cleveland.com contacted Sen. Rob Portman, U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, and Brown with questions about the post office delays. Fudge did not return requests for comment.Portman is cosponsoring the Postal Service Emergency Assistance Act, which would help shore up the agency’s finances during the pandemic, said spokeswoman Meghan Dugan.“Senator Portman has also been actively working to get another bipartisan COVID-19 relief package passed, including provisions to assist the United States Postal Office as it navigates this unprecedented time,” says Dugan. Dozens of trucks continue to pile up at the Cleveland USPS processing and distribution center in Cleveland. One cleveland.com reader sent photos of machines sitting outside in the center’s parking lot in August, wondering if a lack of machinery could be to blame for the frustration.A post office spokeswoman said the machine sorts flats such as magazines, which over the years, have declined in numbers.The post office “routinely moves equipment around its network as necessary to match changing mail and package volumes. Adapting our processing infrastructure to the current volumes will ensure more efficient, cost effective operations and better service for our customers.”The post office still hasn’t answered questions about delays and has yet to offer a solution to the problems.Related: If you’re expecting something, you can’t pick it up directly from the distribution center. Customers must wait for it to be delivered to their home or PO Box.If they need assistance, the postal service suggests calling the USPS Customer Care Center at 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777).Brown’s office said staffers are hearing about a lot of issues with U.S. Mail.The office issued a statement: “We’re hearing a lot of issues with the Postal Service in my office and the best way to get the U.S. Postal service fixed is by reversing the harmful policies Postmaster General Louis DeJoy - a political donor with no postal experience - has implemented. The first step in seeing that through is by removing him from that position, and I expect President-Elect Biden to do that.”Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
