Christmas Rush

The rush of last-minute Christmas packages didn’t dim the enthusiasm of Jody
Landes at the Coudersport Post Office on Wednesday. Officials at the post
offices in Austin, Emporium and Coudersport confirmed the usual volume of mail
heading down the stretch. Despite the multi-million-dollar advertising campaigns
of Federal Express, UPS and other private delivery services, the U.S. Postal
Service remains the preferred carrier for many. “Aside from the thousands of
Christmas cards that pass through the post office, either coming or going, we
see about a quadrupling of boxes and packages in the two weeks leading up to
Christmas,” said Coudersport Postmaster Steve Sevinsky. As early of Monday of
this week, the U.S. Postal Service was advising customers that they’d be risking
late delivery if they waited any longer to send Christmas gifts by
mail.
