Holiday Shopping & COVID Are Keeping The Postal Service Busy
Holiday Shopping & COVID Are Keeping The Postal Service Busy An increase in online shopping due to the pandemic has slammed the United States Postal Service this holiday season, in Montana and across the country . Missoula Postmaster Michael Slater says post office staff in Missoula are working hard to keep up with demand, loading packages as early as 6 a.m. and delivering until as late as 9 at night. "We are seeing almost double what we saw last year, and last year was a record year." He says they’ve hired new people, started Sunday deliveries and even temporarily expanded their fleet.
