Roundup to hit mailboxes later than usual

Beginning this week, faithful Wyoming Livestock Roundup readers can expect the newspaper to hit their mailboxes later than usual. 

The Roundup was informed Casper Bulk Mail recently changed its deadline for processing. However, because the Roundup is printed on Fridays, meeting this deadline isn’t possible. 

The Roundup is working to get the paper mailed out on Friday evenings as usual, but we may have to begin mailing out every Monday instead. 

Like many in the newspaper industry, the Roundup team has experienced consistent challenges in dealing with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), including delivery delays, which have already impacted the ability to get timely news into the hands of readers. 

While the Roundup staff continues working to overcome these obstacles, broader issues with the mail service are beyond anyone’s control and affect many Wyoming communities. 

With this, the Roundup team encourages readers to reach out to Wyoming’s Congressional delegation to voice their concerns about the need for reliable postal service in rural areas. The Roundup believes stronger advocacy at the federal level is vital to ensure households and businesses across the state get the dependable service they deserve – and pay for.

“At the Roundup, we are trying to make changes to suit the USPS, so we have to change days we mail out. It is a challenge working with the post office these days, as it seems they continue to raise rates and lower services,” stated Roundup Publisher Dennis Sun. “Please help us by calling our Congressional offices about the lack of services.”

Sens. John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis, as well as Rep. Harriet Hageman (all R-WY), can respectively be reached by visiting barrasso.senate.gov, lummis.senate.gov and hageman.house.gov.
