> It's not just Williston. You can thank Louis DeJoy, the orange man for appointing him, and the decades of Republicans in Congress trying to privatize the post office by saddling it with debt. This has been their goal for years and it's now really affecting on the ground deliveries.

The Dems definitely fixed all that when they got the legislature and the presidency after orange man, right?

A little over an inch across. Fox?

You are experiencing DeJoy of the mail service.

Seriously, this guy wants to cut back service and he is making it happen in small ways so we will be used to it when the close USPS down.

Then we can pay UPS $18 to have your envelope delivered.

This is not a good look for Enosburg at all. Their increasing racism issue is really bad and from what I remember some years ago, it might be because of their lack of diversity. The education on race and other identities over the last few years has been lacking. In general, the Franklin school board better take a good look at this and fast.

Down here in Bennington they're saying that it's due to staffing shortages", but I know 5 people, myself included, all with clean driving and police records, who got ghosted by them.

So they're utterly full of shit.

I test drove an A4 Audi quattro during a nasty ice storm. It's a completely different animal. It was the braking on ice that convinced me, not the ability to gain traction to accelerate. Incredible engineering. I've owned 3 since then.

Wow that was quick. 802 pizza in Randolph only opened like 1.5-2yrs ago maybe.

I feel like I’m a contributor to the usps woes - I think I receive more than the average number of Amazon boxes. People of USPS, I’m already asking Amazon to minimize my boxes, but what can random person do to make your jobs easier?

I was in SoRo in the fall and walked by. There were a bunch of people in there doing an open mic or something but it didn’t seem like they were eating.

Not unique to Vermont. Entire system is stressed beyond all possible expectations. In my view, Amazon has absolutely crushed USPS. An avalanche of packages and limited carriers. As of now- a logistical nightmare.

I just roll over into a ditch last night , going down the hill in Snow drive in a range Rover and it did not help at all , I should have got the snow tires , I was only 50’yards from the driveway!

All about Amazon and other be box stores moving to internet sales. Crushing USPS. Labor shortage is acute.

Agreed. Amazon is completely burying USPS. Have to see it to believe it, volume is truly unbelievable.

Talk to the local contractors, home builders, plumbers, electricians, engineers and village/town offices like you talk to folks on here. Dying on the hill of rude with limited services isn’t the place I would want to start, but it’s your hill. You came here to ask a question, and then started attacking local people responding. Housing is in a legitimate crisis here, and you seem extremely dismissive. Your Florida side is coming through. Might want to get that in check.

Yaaaa about that.... Yikes.

It's decent. Only ever had their pizza a few times. A bit overpriced maybe.

Bennington has been facing problems for about three years now regarding the USPS. It's a big issue everywhere.

It really is.

I appreciate all the hard work y’all do! I hope it starts to get better soon for everyone so USPS can get back on its feet

They opened this past summer I think. Used to be Five Olde.

802 Pizza is a spot in Randolph, they opened 802 Pizza SoRo in the town of South Royalton over the summer. SoRo is just short for the town.

Hi! VT USPS employee here. USPS is not okay and needs more staffing in certain areas. Williston, Burlington, Hinesburg, Shelburne, Barre, and Springfield are some of the heaviest affected areas and have been for months. There are multiple other offices that are also struggling.

Over the past holiday weekend the Williston office operation was moved to a larger space to be able to house the volume of delayed packages and mail due to being about 1/3 staffed to compliment. The acting postmaster of Hinesburg is currently the only employee in his office. The Postmaster of Barre is out delivering 6-7 days a week.

The largest hurdle we have is USPS wages are no longer competitive especially considering the nature of the job. Being out in the elements, mandatory overtime, etc. On top of that add in that even if you want the job, from accepting the job offer to stepping your foot in the door you're in a 3 month limbo waiting for your background check to clear.

We understand the inconvenience and the frustration. Trust me, we're just as frustrated as you are. It is our mission and duty to provide the services our customers expect and deserve, but unfortunately in some spots at the moment it's like trying to drive up a mountain access road during the winter with summer tires.

A lot of reasons. Amazon packages choking out the available USPS workers is one of them. Not enough carriers.

We’re in Windsor county, delivery lately is once a week. I leave snacks in the box for those poor souls who do come through, they’ve got a hard job.

An institution. Best pizza around.

What is "SoRo"?
