Peyton, CO post office problems continue, residents say it takes weeks to receive mail

PEYTON, Colo. (KRDO) — The Peyton post office continues to be inundated with packages, three weeks after the busy holiday season, leading to residents going without mail for weeks.

Late Tuesday morning, workers wheeled out about 40 large carts from inside the post office filled to the brim with packages. They placed the carts in the back of the parking lot, sorted through the contents, and began to load their vehicles for the day.

Once the carriers left to start their routes, about half of the carts in the parking lot were still full, remaining outside, seemingly unattended.
