DEVELOPING: USPS postal employee says "You're not gonna get your Christmas presents" as mail piles up in mailrooms across the nation

"Beyond overhwlemed"

"We can't deliver the mail"



Santa might be late this year.

An overwhelmed U.S. Postal Service has been struggling for weeks to deliver packages, veteran employees said, warning that holiday gifts might not arrive by Christmas as tens of thousands of packages pile up inside Philadelphia-area processing facilities.

“Don’t be using the post office right now, because we can’t deliver the mail,” said Laurence Love, an assistant clerk craft director who operates mail-sorting machines at the Philadelphia Processing and Delivery Center.

Facilities across the region are so full of packages, there is barely enough room to walk, employees in Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley, and South Jersey said. In Allentown, about 10 trailers filled with mail are sitting in the parking lot, with no room to unload the items.

CLEVELAND (WJW)– The FOX 8 I-Team obtained new pictures revealing endless loads of mail waiting to get delivered to you. So, we tried tracking down the local postmaster to find out what’s being done about backlogs with your holiday mail.

The pictures reveal rows and rows of large boxes holding cards, letters and packages. You can also see boxes stacked on top of each other.

Multiple sources told us these pictures include mail moving through Cleveland.

Many of you keep telling us about mail you’re not getting and mail not going where you send it.

We walked in to Cleveland postal headquarters asking to see the postmaster. A worker wanted to know if we had an appointment and he suggested we call a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson.

The spokesperson didn’t respond, so we left a message for the postmaster. Then, a postal police officer showed up telling us we couldn’t be in the administration building lobby. He said it was not a public area.
