HOUSTON — “Never in my postal career has it been this bad.”
That’s coming from a longtime United States Postal Service employee who said he’s fed up with excuses and wants the public to know what’s really causing the mail delays at two Houston-area processing centers.
The 30-plus year postal worker said the problem is with a key piece of equipment — a new parcel sorting machine that was set to be installed during peak season, just before the holidays.
“Supposed to be a massive machine,” the employee said.
So big, he said they had to remove two other machines, but the big issue was that the new machine didn’t fit inside the facility.
The employee said without any large sorting machines, mail is piling up everywhere.
