“Dear PoPville,
We moved to Capitol Hill last summer, and we have been extremely disappointed with our mail delivery service since moving here. We are desperate to get help on this issue.
We are still waiting for numerous birthday cards for my husband which were supposed to be delivered back in October. One of which was the last card his grandmother sent him before she passed. (more…)
Thanks to Alex for sending yesterday: “today (MAY 13!!) I received in the mail a holiday card mailed on December 16 from NYC. Just might really be the last holiday card in town…”

“Dear PoPville,
Residents in 20002 are experiencing extreme mail delay. I’ve personally been to the USPS facility in Brentwood twice in the last two weeks and there are many frustrated customers waiting on paychecks, bills, passports, medicine, etc. I went again yesterday and saw this sign posted.”
Thanks to Liz for sending: “Spotted in 16th Street Heights. (Took the photo a couple days ago but it’s still there this morning.)”

We had a feeling that the new condo down the street, with four units, messed something up when they registered their addresses. (more…)
Thanks to Chris for sending on Saturday: “Might not be the last but it sure was the mother load!”

“Dear PoPville,
I can tolerate getting our mail delivery during the week as late as 10:30pm, and I’m aware the USPS delivery people are overwhelmed, but tonight our mail was just thrown up on the porch, no attempt to put in our mail box. This delivery included some very important and personal financial documents.”
