BERKELEY, Calif. (KGO) — Some East Bay communities aren’t seeing their mail carriers until after midnight. It’s an unprecedented situation affecting parts of Oakland, Concord and Berkeley.

A mail carrier, who asked not to identified, was delivering mail Thursday well after 6 p.m. — that’s the post office’s typical delivery deadline. She’s stuck in the middle of major Bay Area Postal Service problems caused by staffing shortages, increased online shopping deliveries, and high cost of living demands.
