USPS blames contract changes for halted package deliveries in Summit County

Residents in Summit County, Colorado, are facing significant delivery issues due to the expiration of a contract between the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and UPS SurePost, leading to many packages being returned to sender. Since January, UPS has stopped delivering to USPS PO boxes, while USPS has also refused to deliver to most physical addresses, creating confusion and frustration among residents. The USPS has acknowledged the problem and stated it is working on a 'new strategic approach' with shipping partners, but residents are still struggling to determine how to receive their packages. Frisco resident Patti Plummer expressed the ongoing challenges, noting the time-consuming process of figuring out shipping methods and the lack of mailbox access in the area. The USPS emphasized that previous agreements did not align with operational realities, but the lack of a clear solution has left many residents dissatisfied. As complaints continue to mount, residents are urging USPS to improve communication and service delivery options.
