...My office is in Oak Brook, IL, which is not exactly Podunk. We have a large full-service USPS branch on Kensington.

We routinely get mail a week or more after it's been postmarked. Yesterday, March 27, we got our hard copy of Crain's Chicago Business...the issue of March 18.

We just got a piece of mail from January 2023.

THere's a local news story today about an apartment building that has had no mail delivery since June 2023. Post Office claims the grass in the area separating the parking lot from the nearby train tracks is too long (the postal carrier does not have to enter this grassy area at any point).

The building re-landscaped, but still no mail. Apparently the PO is looking into it, but when residents of the building went to the PO to complain, they were told to "call the Post Office" while standing *in* the Post Office.

The USPS is a total shambles in this area.
It has gotten progressively worse over the last 3 - 4 years

just curse myself. I think the route schedule has changed because it arrives now everyday by 3 or so. For a while it was not uncommon to see them delivering after 6 pm.
