An internal Postal Service report confirms Los Angeles' lousy mail service, the Daily News reports:
The report - sent anonymously to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles - provides a snapshot of a single day at the mail-processing plant in South Los Angeles.
On that day, May 4, first-class mail was delayed six days and periodicals were delayed as much as 10 days as postal officials consistently and significantly underestimated the amount of mail requiring processing, the report shows.
Waxman, who has battled the situation for months amid complaints from constituents, demanded Thursday that officials review the delays and recommend ways to fix the problem...
But postal officials defended service, saying the report was outdated and the delays cited in it were due to equipment changes and maintenance problems.
Finally! An excuse to use when, as usual, I mail friends and family their birthday cards the day before their birthday.
