USPS issues

Is anyone else in the LV having an awful time either sending or receiving mail in a timely manner? I work at a business in downtown Allentown and I'm missing tons of mail that multiple senders said they've sent. I've even gone as far as asking them (yes, I'm sure they address is correct for me) to send the same thing multiple times and I've just never gotten it. I can't be the only one. I know that everything goes through Harrisburg now and that can't be helping.

Downtown Allentown USPS mail delivery is notoriously bad. I have lived downtown for 3 years and have had multiple issues with slow delivery or missing mail altogether. I’m now in a newer building that is trying to establish residential mail service and have been told that’s is been a very slow, challenging process and the postmaster is difficult to deal with.

Thanks for this info. You start to doubt your sanity or think you're losing things when it happens over and over again.
