How a slowdown in the Postal Service is impacting small businesses

ScanMyPhotos began in 1990 and quickly developed a close relationship with its local post office in Irvine, Calif.

“They are the reason we have this company,” co-founder Mitch Goldstone said an interview with Yahoo Finance’s. The company, which digitizes physical photos, says it has digitized and sent 600 million pictures back to customers.

But in recent weeks, Goldstone has seen an array of problems as new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has begun to implement operational changes that are slowing deliveries. “We see it here everyday and we get it in the customer service phone calls,” Goldstone said.

The reports are similar across the country. Small businesses that rely heavily on shipping products are reporting problems after years of reliable service, including some in DeJoy’s home state of North Carolina.

2. If Congress doesn't figure a way out of this we're going to be seeing LOTS more stories like this.

They really can't send nasty letters on this one. They need get out and start pushing. Encourage others to do likewise. In a word, FIGHT.

On top of covid, loss of unemployment checks, and little/no stimulus $$, the slowdown of mail delivery is truly the final nail in the coffin for many businesses.

4. And the courts clogged with breach of contract actions

because of the Postal Service screwing up smooth transit of correspondence, merchandise, payments, and more.

Work invoices. Granted I’m away from the office and different people are handling the mail but these are way overdue.
