Bend post office delivers mail on Sunday amid complaints about no ballots or other mail for the past three days [View all]

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – After several Bend-area residents contacted NewsChannel 21 about not receiving any mail for the past three days – including their much-awaited ballots - the U.S. Postal Service told us that Bend post office workers were out delivering mail on Sunday in a bid to catch up on their election-related and other workload.

Two people who contacted NewsChannel 21 on Sunday said they (and in one case at least eight neighbors) had not received any mail for the past three days. One lives just east of Bend on Obsidian Avenue, near Ward Road, and the other in the River Rim neighborhood in southwest Bend, near Elk Meadow Elementary School.

Another person who contacted us on Facebook asked us to look into "why there was no mail delivery to much of (the) 97702 ZIP Code either Friday or Saturday? We have folks awaiting ballots, checks, RX meds."

A resident of Woodside Ranch in southern Bend said they received no mail Thursday or Friday, and found "quite a few Bend residents are in the same boat." But they later told us they did receive mail Saturday evening, including their ballots.
