Letter: Mail Delivery Bryan New writes: That isn't the whole story. I've got a package that has been stuck at the Louisville distribution center for nearly 2 weeks now. It has absolutely nothing to do with the weather. This happens all the time. I'm a collector of certain things and I never have a problem with any distribution centers anywhere in the continental United States. It's always the Louisville center. Last year they even lost a package of mine.Comments re: Mail for this area reportedly stuck in Louisville 2025-01-08 12:41:36 | Comments | Printable version
