Post: Delivery chaos is widening
timeline
After the problems in Flachgau, the post office is now also missing in Lungau in some municipalities. For two weeks, for example, the residents of St. Andrä have been dying for letters and parcels – there is a post employee there from time to time. The Post could not send a replacement either, they say.
There is simply a lack of staff, so the reason. Letters have not been fluttering in the post boxes of the citizens of St. Andrä since November 2nd. The excitement about it is still great, describes Mayor Heinrich Perner (ÖVP).
“The situation is very unsatisfied. It is also about mail such as bills or official letters, which can concern important errands. And if this post is not delivered, it can lead to bigger problems, ”complains Perner.
Post is desperately looking for deliverers
In other communities in Lungau, however, there have been no delivery problems. According to the company, the reason for the undelivered mail is the massive shortage of staff and illnesses in the existing team. In the meantime, attempts are already being made to bring postal workers from other federal states to Salzburg.
If, for example, registered letters do not reach the recipients within the prescribed period, Swiss Post is liable for the postage. If this results in damage or higher costs for the recipient, this has to be arranged with the company’s customer service department on a case-by-case basis, according to Swiss Post.
