BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Some Bellingham and Whatcom County residents have expressed concerns about delayed mail delivery.

The U.S. Postal Service says they are experiencing staffing and volume challenges that may affect delivery for some customers at times.

They are rotating employees to handle issues at different locations and a spokesperson says missed deliveries should arrive by the next day.

The service is also adding staff with plans to hire 1,000 new postal workers across Washington in the next few months.

They will also be holding more job fairs in coming weeks.
