As residents of Rosedale, Queens, we depend on the reliable delivery of our mail. Personal experiences have brought to light an incessant issue: mail, crucial to our daily lives, such as bank statements, replacement bank cards, and DMV documents, consistently fail to arrive when promised through the informed delivery service. Mail that is expected and scanned, with residents notified by USPS daily through the Informed dashboard, often fails to arrive even after the suggested wait period. This issue occurs more frequently when our regular carriers are on leave.

The number of complaints lodged at local post offices paints a distressing picture of a community held hostage by a system failing to perform its basic function.

The impact of failed delivery extends to our vulnerable population. Our elderly neighbors, who could be relying on timely mail for medical prescriptions and other vital documents, are left voiceless and underserved. According to reports by the Postal Regulatory Commission, complaints about mail delivery surged 34 percent nationwide from 2015 to 2019. This underscores the widespread nature of the issue.

We demand a rigorous and transparent investigation into these systemic failings, pressing for accountability where it's due. By affirming such, we take a stand not only for us but also for communities across the country plagued by similar issues. We believe that our post offices need to strive for better service delivery and treat every postal item with the urgency and importance it deserves.

Please stand with us in restoring trust in our postal services. Sign this petition to demand that the authorities give this issue the attention it merits, for the well-being of our community here in Rosedale, Queens.
