Big problems with mail delivery are a constant in Chicago — and the suburbs

I’ve read in the Sun-Times about all the problems Chicagoans are having with mail delivery. That problem is not confined to Chicago. I live in the south suburbs and do not receive mail for days at a time. It takes two months to receive personal checks. Cards I mail either never reach their destination, or take two or more months to be delivered even when mailed by priority mail. Bills I pay are not delivered, and I am charged late fees.

Now, someone broken into one of the mail boxes at the post office, and the local police cannot do anything because it’s a federal crime. We have no one to turn to, and the United States Postal Service website is difficult to navigate.
