Hello!

Here is some of the latest in USPS news:

(CNN) Maine resident Jennifer Jones says US Postal Service mail delays killed over half the baby chickens she ordered this summer for backyard farming.In 15 years, Jones says she's ordered thousands of chicks with no issues. USPS normally delivers them within 24 hours.

This time, though, it took days.

"They came within two to three days, which is much longer than normal," Jones told CNN of her July order. "Upon arrival, 13 were dead. We lost four more over the week."With more Americans than ever expected to vote by mail in November's presidential election due to health concerns around Covid-19, delays like the one Jones experienced are deepening concerns about the Postal Service's capacity to handle a flood of ballot mail.
