A Local Shipping Store in Denton is Highlighting the Unprecedented USPS Backlog

Denton, Texas – Pack ‘N’ Mail is highlighting widespread mail delays that many United States Postal Service (USPS) customers are currently facing. The local shipping store in Denton is keeping a close eye on the unprecedented backlog and the many problems USPS seems to be facing because of an unusual year. 

In 2020, the coronavirus (COVID-19) swept across the world, leaving many people stuck at home, heavily relying on shipping for the most basic needs. With shipping already in high demand as the nation moved into the holidays, many were forced to ship holiday presents instead of delivering gifts in person. This additional strain on USPS caused a backlog with the company that has never seen before.

“We thank our customers for their continued support, and we are committed to making sure gifts and cards are delivered on time to celebrate the holidays,” said Kristin Seaver, Chief Retail and Delivery Officer for USPS. “We continue to flex our network, including making sure the right equipment is available to sort, process, and deliver a historic volume of mail and packages this holiday season,” she continued.

The US Post Office has not been alone in its inability to meet shipping demands at a high level. Both FedEx and United Parcel Service (UPS) are having to halt shipments above a certain threshold, pushing the overflow onto the Post Office, which is unable to turn down any shipment volume.

Tracking packages can be difficult, but our experts will help in case of delays.
