Resident complains about mail service suspension at Mesilla Park
DOÑA ANA COUNTY, New Mexico -- A resident of Mesilla Park says she's been told mail service has been suspended in her area.
For the past two months, the delivery has been delayed in Mesilla Park, and Karin Puette is ready to do whatever it takes to get ahold of the United States Postal Service and have her questions answered. Puette went as far as to say that she would drive all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where the United States Postal Service staff clerk is stationed.
She says she first became aware of the problem when a neighbor had gone to the post office to ask why his mail was being held. Puette says it is because of her neighbor that she even knew her mail had not been coming in and that the U-S-P-S gave the residents in the area no warning that the mail would be delayed.
He was told that the suspension was due to construction.
The resident says she's concerned that the suspension could affect bills, finances, and even medical issues. She hopes that the United States Postal Service will take the same route as UPS and FedEx, who still deliver to residents in the area.
