Metro Detroit still experiencing lengthy mail delays

DETROIT – From the city to the suburbs, many people across Metro Detroit have been experiencing slow or non-existent mail delivery.

Some blame the pandemic, the election and staff shortages, but the problem persists.



We all depend on the mail. Our bills and important documents are delivered to our door and when it stops, we get concerned.

“We haven’t gotten our mail in a week,” said Yolanda Hood. “I’m worried.”
