Thursday, U.S. Representative Mike Bost met with senior officials at the U.S. Postal Service Distribution Center in St. Louis to address ongoing delivery delays and emergency closures that have impacted mail services for residents in Southern Illinois.
Bost informed postal officials, “Since January of last year, my office has received over 250 complaints about postal service issues from nearly all 34 counties in my Congressional District. Southern Illinoisans are consistently experiencing delivery delays, missing mail, and significant problems linked to the USPS St. Louis Distribution Center. These issues have led to serious disruptions, such as delayed medications, late utility bills, late fees, and even the loss of cremated remains. Bost indicated “this widespread problem is not merely a service failure; it’s a breach of trust that requires accountability and urgent reform. That’s why I visited the St. Louis Distribution Center Thursday, to engage with those responsible for mail distribution and explore solutions to resolve this issue.”
