THE DRAKE, COLORADO US POST OFFICE MUST BE MOVED UNDER THE

LOVELAND, CO US POST OFFICE MANAGEMENT

For over a year and a half the US postal patrons of Drake, Colorado, have suffered tremendously under the abusive behavior of Estes Park Postal Service management.  

The USPS Estes Park management:

·        has verbally abused the postal patrons in Drake, Glen Haven, and Estes Park for more than a year and one postal patron was physically abused by USPS Estes Park Management in the Estes Park post office.  (police report and more than 54 pages of email documented testimonials of issues and abuse)

·        have forced maniacal processes on their postal workers such as forcing them to return-to-sender any letter or parcel that does not have the exact lettering of “P.O. Box” on it.  They even physically removed mail that was already in P.O. Boxes in Drake to return all mail/parcels that did not have “P.O. Box” on them and forced the mail to be returned-to-sender, even when printing on the parcel read “Box xxx”.

·        hired an incredible number of people including previous postal workers who quit in 2 weeks or less due to their verbal abuse, USPS Denver Ops has been aware of the staffing issues but will do nothing to permanently fix the issue.   This leads to staffing shortages that the USPS Estes Park management blames on Covid-19.

·        have now succeeded in running our Drake postal clerk Keile off and our Drake Post Office has had no staffing and been closed for retail services since November 17, 2020 even with greater than 60 documented compliments for Keile were delivered to USPS Denver Ops.  Mail has piled up behind the office wall.  The process to get packages out, and receive important parcels like  prescriptions and legal documents has been a challenging nightmare and does not happen on a consistent or regular basis. 

Over the course of the past one and a half years we have worked with three Denver Consumer Ops Relations staff (documented) most recently Michael Mattson, since February 2020.  Michael has given ALL documented information to USPS Denver Ops HR personnel who this far have refused to take action against the USPS Estes Park management, despite multiple ongoing issues reported from numerous postal patrons.

Since the USPS Denver Ops team has not addressed the ongoing and severely negative actions of the USPS Estes Park management staff, the patrons of Drake, Colorado petition Colorado elected representatives and the US Postal Service to immediately transfer the management of the Drake Post Office out from USPS Estes Park to USPS Loveland, CO, where we will be given the professional service we deserve.  We hereby request your attention to this ongoing and consequential matter that is long overdue.  Thank you.
