BELGRADE — Continued mishaps of missing mail in Belgrade have residents wondering—is there a solution?
“We get Informed Delivery that tells us we should be getting mail and for 12 days now, since November 9th, we’ve had absolutely nothing,” says Jeffery Bennett, a Belgrade resident.
Bennett has lived and worked in Montana his whole life, and he says he’s no stranger to mail service issues.
“This is pretty regular. I mean, it’s not uncommon to have a day or two, here or there, that we don’t get mail. But 12 days in a row is unusual. There’s something going on,” he says.
Bennett says he uses a service called Informed Delivery that tells him his letters and packages have arrived in Belgrade but sit at the post office undelivered.
“I can tell by the Informed Delivery that a lot of them are maybe checks in the mail, they’re bills that need to be paid. And I can’t pay the bill, things like property taxes should be here and I can’t pay them until I know what to pay,” says Bennett.
