BRAZIL, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — A local pharmacy said delays with U.S.P.S. have been causing issues with mailing medications.
Lynn’s Pharmacy in Brazil has a group of customers that do not drive. Instead, they have their medications mailed to them.
The pharmacy said these customers have not received medication in more than 20 days because they are stuck in Indianapolis amid reports of issues at the new postal hub.
Pharmacy owner Lynn Hostetler said he has been mailing medications for more than 50 years and it has never been this bad.
“I’m totally frustrated because I have used the post office for 50-60 years and I have never seen anything like this,” said Hostetler. “It used to be that the post office was ultra-reliable and trustworthy. The local people are, but the bureaucracy is not.”
We reached out to U.S.P.S. but did not receive comment about the situation.
