Staffing woes frustrate customers at south Lewiston, ME post office branch

The U.S. Postal Service said ‘unforeseen circumstances’ have led to a staffing shortage at the Lewiston south branch, but the situation is expected to improve soon.

“Employee availability at the South Lewiston Post Office is currently lower than normal due to unforeseen circumstances,” according to a statement issued by Amy Gibbs, a strategic communications specialist with the service. “Per postal policy, we are required to keep personnel information confidential and may only share such information in very limited situations. We expect staffing to resume to normal levels soon. We thank our customers for their understanding, patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
