Kirchlinteln without post: Citizens are frustrated by the failure of delivery

An unusual Situation is currently causing resentment in Kirchlinteln, a small community in the Verden district, where the residents have to wait for their post. The mailbox has remained empty for eight working days, which many residents unsettled and annoyed. Usually the citizens regularly receive their programs, but the absence of the usual postal messenger that is on vacation has led to noticeable delays.

"We do not blame the local deliverers," said a resident of the cornflower path in a press conference. "But it is noticeable that there has been no mail since the start of the vacation of our postman." Overall, the residents report that their mailboxes have been largely untouched for almost two weeks.

post delivery in the crisis

incomprehension is that despite a reliable postal service that previously worked well, the postal vehicles did not drive through the streets of Kirchlinteln during this time. "It seems that nobody would bring the mail during the absence of our deliverer," said another resident. There is also a specific example: A resident reports that on October 8th she received a confirmation of a delivery that should take place on October 10th. On October 16, however, nothing was still arrived.

The need for clarity is great. "It would be helpful if the mail in the press published a brief reference to the delayed delivery due to vacation or illness," says another resident at a loss. The contact situation with the post also seems to be dissatisfactory. "The hotline in Bonn can only be reached with a lot of patience, and when you finally reach someone, the latter often doesn't even know what inquiries should be answered." The frustration is clearly noticeable.

responsibility and apology on the part of the post office

The Press spokeswoman for Post, Maike Wintj, confirmed the difficulties in the delivery area and explained the situation: "Unfortunately, because of a series of vacations and an unexpected increase in sick reports, we had problems in this area." She apologized for the inconveniences and emphasized that the residues were to be worked up so that they will soon be able to offer the usual quality of delivery again.

Overall, the situation in Kirchlinteln is an example of the challenges with which the postal service is faced with, especially in times of increased vacation and unexpected lack of personnel. However, the residents want more transparency and communication on the part of the post to know what is going on in their small community.
