Guam – The nightmare continues as residents are confused by the letters sent out by the United States Postal Service.
It is a postal nightmare that started when residents began reporting that they were not receiving their mail following the implementation of high speed computer technology that sorts mail automatically and rejects those addresses not inputted in the USPA data base. Technology that was supposed to speed through mail has instead created confusion. As we reported in order to receive your mail USPS recommends you use the addresses provided to you.
Residents around the island are receiving letters such as this from the United States Postal Service notifying them of their correct addresses. These letters are also clustering and eliminating entire villages enraging individuals such as Sinajana Mayor Robert Hoffman whose village has apparently been clustered under Hagatna.
Mayor Hoffman says he has been receiving calls from angry and irate resident questioning why their addresses now read Hagatna instead of Sinajana. “We started with the argument with them in March it heated up in April that’s when the congresswoman fired off the letters and we were hoping okay we will roll out a campaign which will educate our customers in the proper way to use it and then for today and yesterday to come aboard and everybody’s up in arms cause suddenly everybody got the wrong address,” he said.
