Weeks-Long Mail Delays to be Expected Across South Carolina

Weeks-long mail delays may be expected in the Grand Strand and Pee Dee areas. A union leader working for the USPS confirmed the mail delays were caused after several sorting machines were dismantled in Columbia and Greenville. This despite the fact that there appears to be no decline in volume of mail being sent or received. Delays could have some serious consequences, especially when packages contain things such as medications, bills and more. Fortunately, no machines have been removed from the Grand Strand or Pee Dee areas, however some may be removed in the near future. Similar issues are being reported nationwide.
