CLINTON TWP., Mich. (WXYZ) â Postal customers in Clinton Township say their bills are so late, theyâve nearly had phones and other services cut off. Thatâs because their mail isnât getting delivered and theyâre fed up.
This has been a problem since the start of the pandemic for people all over metro Detroit.
Williams said she never had a problem with mail delivery until the COVID-19 pandemic. Now she worries sheâll be late on her car payment because her bills havenât arrived.
âWhen youâre late paying a bill, thatâs a late fee. Everybody doesnât have email. Some bills you might prefer to pay by mail,â Williams told 7 Investigator Heather Catallo.
Sharon says the postal employees at Joyfield Station told her she could come pick up her mail, but she fears exposure to COVID-19.
âThe postmen are getting paid to deliver your mail,â said Williams.
âItâs frustrating,â said Helen Reynolds in Grosse Pointe.
