The U.S.Postal Service is keenly aware of delivery issues in the Steamboat Springs area and continues to aggressively work toward finding solutions, said spokesperson James Boxrud.
“We are still short-staffed at the Steamboat Post Office,“ said Boxrud, a communications specialist with the United States Postal Service, on Friday, Jan. 27. “We have been bringing up two additional employees during the week and more help on the weekends from around the state. This hasn’t been enough for us to stay current with the mail.”
Some customers in Routt County began experiencing issues with mail delivery back in December, and the Post Office has continued to work through staffing shortages for the past month. However, Boxrud said the biggest issue has been the need to replace two highway contract carriers that recently left.
