Title: USPS and Federal Govt Shutdown
Post by: Rastaman Vibration on October 01, 2013, 05:51 pm
Does anyone know if the US Post Office is shut down as part of the federal goverment shutdown? Will mail continue to be delivered?

USPS will continue to deliver mail, as it's an "essential service".

There's been speculation that the US Inspector General's department being closed will mean no inspections, but this is a false rumor, as each postal branch will carry on business as usual.

It's business as usual for SR.

Thanks. That's certainly a relief.

I wondered the same thing when I heard about this. My heart skipped a beat. I've been awaiting my first orders for over a week now and I would probably scream if I found out the postal service was shut down.
