August 28, 2017 - Shelby County Today reports that mail delivery may be delayed. The local Post Offices are serviced out of a Houston distribution center which has been impacted by Hurricane Harvey.
Mail delivered to the Center office this morning was extremely low on mail volume. Shelby County Today was advised that mail in Houston at the North Houston TX Processing and Distribution Center was unable to be dispatched and postal workers and volunteers are working on retrieving the mail from that facility.
New mail is being rerouted to Dallas and other areas for processing so there should not be any delays for new mail sent out.
SCT advised anyone who has mailed in an account payment around the end of last week when Hurricane Harvey arrived, they may want to contact the company to see if payment has been received. If not, then call the company to advise them of the possible mail delay and see if the company needs you to make payment arrangements to avoid late fees.
