Mail delivery will also resume in full today. In order to receive delivery, mail boxes must be visible and safely accessible. Customers are asked to ensure their mailbox is free of debris and is safely accessible for our letter carriers. Also sidewalks, steps and passage ways should be free of debris.
Carriers will make every attempt to deliver where safe and passable. If mailboxes are blocked off or conditions are too difficult, letter carriers must consider safety and accessibility first. We expect and understand that more people will have the opportunity to clear mailboxes and walkways as the week progresses. Carriers will monitor and resume delivery to these locations as they are cleared.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
