Minnesota – The forecast calls for heavy snow and hazardous conditions across portions of Minnesota.

The U.S. Postal Service is asking customers for their assistance by clearing snow and ice from walkways, driveways, porches and areas around the mailbox.

“Slips, trips and falls continue to be the most frequent type of injury sustained by our carriers,” said Minnesota-North Dakota District Manager Anthony Williams. “As winter conditions worsen, so do the number of accidents. By simply clearing the way, customers help reduce the risk.”

Please help mail carriers provide the best delivery service possible, as safely as possible. They will thank you, every step of the way!

When mail service issues occur, we take steps to quickly resolve customer concerns.  We gladly work to address any specific issue from the community when brought to our attention and we encourage customers to reach out to their local postal station. Customers can also go to our website usps.com and click on “Contact us” at the bottom of our homepage, or utilize this direct web address: https://usps.force.com/emailus/s/. Every email will be carefully documented and appropriate action taken to strengthen service.
