    Our neighborhood has had almost no mail service all week. We see them drive by/thru neighborhood, sometimes stop in front of mailbox, only to leave a note saying mail undeliverable.

    I’ve had my driveway & area in front of mailbox cleared daily, yet getting notices that mail is undeliverable.

    Book of faces neighborhood group is how I know it’s almost entire neighborhood. A few sporadic deliveries. Me, nothing all week.

    Any other areas experiencing similar (Indiana)?

    I had this happen to me a few years ago. I think it has to do with the weather and wanting to get off on time? I emailed the postmaster about it. I knew about it immediately too because i was waiting for a package. There was zero reason they couldnt deliver to me.

    I've also had nothing all week, but I do live in a hilly area. Without AWD, my neighborhood is a bear. UPS big brown truck finally showed up today and dropped off a weeks worth of stuff that was also delayed.

    The USPS truck has not even attempted to come down my street.

    Got mail yesterday, no signs of new tracks by the box today?

    Last few years in our rural area, we are just thankful we get mail at all.

    Regular post-persons change at least every year, if not every few months. About the time they start getting the right mail in the right box, they are gone. The quality of the post-persons seem to be going continually down to Walmart greeter level.

    We’ve been getting our mail, which pretty much all goes straight from mailbox to trash can, but yeah, I think we have a different mail “person” every day.
    If anybody ever wonders why the USPS generally sucks and is inefficient, get online and read through their hiring guidelines and all the inclusiveness they spout.

    Western Terrace, no mail, no UPS, no Fedex, no trash pickup.
    Of course the last time I saw an EVV city snowplow in the Terrace was....ah......when the last 18" of snow had melted down to about 3". I think that was 03.

    We haven't received anything in the mail since Saturday. Street has been plowed, snow cleared allowing access to the mailbox so not sure why we haven't gotten anything. Seen the USPS truck down the street though. My parents and brother live 2 blocks up the street and around the corner and they haven't received anything either, nor has my next door neighbor.
    I intend to contact the post office later today (Sat)

    Wife did receive a package from the big brown truck today so that's a positive

    We have only been here a year but have had the same carrier and he is great and we have gotten our mail every day. I did go out and clear snow away from the box, I had time and felt it was the right thing to do.
    Then there is FedEx! Ordered a part for my snow blower, coming from Ft. Wayne to west central Indiana it went to Memphis. Arrived there Wednesday morning and is still there Saturday morning. Jim.

    Suggestion: go to usps.com and sign up for an informed delivery account. You will get an emails showing scans of the mail scheduled for delivery. You also can report mail not delivered just by checking a box. I had a problem a few months ago, when I kept reporting mail as not received, one day about a weeks worth showed up at once.

    Knock on wood, we only had one day that the mail didn't deliver. I believe that was Monday? Maybe Tuesday? Doesn't matter. No real disruption to my life.

    I am receiving a package from Midway that may take a couple extra days due to the weather they say. We will see.

    Was waiting on a dvd set of a tv series.
    Got a delivery completed tracking notice but no package.
    I found it sitting at the post office with no indication to me that it was there.

    Our mail carrier will not deliver if they can't get to the mail box, so i have to go shovel the plowed snow back so they can drive right up to it .

    Same here. If I report some thing not received, it magically shows up very soon after.

    We have two different women who deliver to our neighborhood. One weighs in probably around 250 plus. She wouldn't get out of the truck if it was on fire. The second however is one dedicated employee. The one day out of four we got mail she got out of her truck and hand delivered mail to each box. I made it a point to go out and thank her for doing a great job. If the postal service had more like her they would be much better off.

    Monday was a federal holiday, so post office was off...
