Undelivered: Two weeks with no mail for some Suffolk residents

SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Employee issues at a local post office have caused some residents in Suffolk to go nearly two weeks without mail delivery.

Brenda Johnson said she has not received mail since last Wednesday, and her daughter is expecting important papers to be delivered.

So, we reached out to USPS, which sent us a statement that reads in part:

“There have been some recent unforeseen employee availability issues at that office. When possible, we implement contingency plans, such as bringing in employees from nearby offices and staggering routes. We expect delivery to return to normal very soon, and we will continue to monitor delivery in the area.”

But for some, “soon” isn’t soon enough.
