As of this week, the Wake Forest Post Office and Acting Postmaster Tammy McKay have filled all but two of the 20 open carrier positions out of 42 that were open a month ago.
The four Rolesville routes will begin operating from the Rolesville Post Office some time this month; one of the four routes still does not have a permanent carrier, Philip Bogenberger, a spokesman for the Greensboro district USPS office said in an email this week.
There is also one open position for the 38 Wake Forest routes. Along with the usual avenues for seeking applicants – directly at the USPS website and using the state’s unemployment offices – McKay has two or three small yard signs in front of the post office on East Holding Avenue advertising for carriers.
When asked about routes that are still receiving mail after 8 p.m., Bogenberger wrote, “In addition to adding Sunday delivery of packages, we expanded deliveries to earlier in the morning and later in the evening to meet customer demand.”
The Gazette will continue to monitor the situation and is asking customers in the 27587 area to continue to report on their mail delivery.
