Jerry Clark+FollowWhy Your Mail Might Take a Detour SoonHeads up, Johnson City! The local post office is moving its mail-sorting HQ to a new spot in an old factory.

The Postal Service is bleeding cash, so they're shaking things up—just hope your holiday cards don’t get lost in the shuffle! #Business #Industry #USPS00Share

Her viral TikTok calls out the coffee giant for refusing water unless you buy something, even during emergencies. She’s not asking for sympathy, just some basic human decency. With essential workers facing brutal temps and another postal worker dying from heat, shouldn’t compassion come before company policy? #Food #Starbucks #USPS00Share

davisjames+FollowThousands of Chicks Left in USPS Truck?!Can you believe this? Over 12,000 baby chicks were left in a USPS truck for days—no food, no water. Most didn’t make it, but a Delaware animal shelter is now scrambling to save and rehome the survivors. The shelter’s packed, staff are working round the clock, and donations are running dry. They’re refusing to let the chicks be sold for meat, but only a few hundred have found homes so far. The whole thing is wild, and nobody knows how it happened! #AnimalRescue #USPS #Chickens #Delaware #ViralNews #Pets102Share

DigitalDreamer+FollowUSPS Complaint? Here’s How I Got Results!Ever felt lost trying to complain to USPS? 🙈 I’ve been there! Here’s how I finally got my voice heard (and you can too): • I started with the USPS website’s complaint form—super easy, just pick your issue and fill in the details. (Pro tip: Stick to the facts, not feelings! 😅) • If I needed a faster answer, I called 1-800-ASK-USPS. The phone lines are open 24/7! • I always kept notes—dates, names, what was said—just in case. Email responses are best for keeping records! • If customer service didn’t help, I went straight to my local post office manager with all my notes. • Still stuck? I wrote a formal letter to the USPS Consumer Advocate. (Don’t forget to proofread and sign it!) • For serious stuff like employee misconduct or mail fraud, I used the USPS OIG or Postal Inspection Service online forms. Bullet points kept my complaint clear and concise. ❤️ It’s a process, but staying organized and calm made all the difference for me! #USPS #CustomerService #HowTo #Education110Share
