Joseph D, Levy '97, who has had recent problems with late mail, said he contacted Cynthia Langille, operations coordinator for the FAS physical resources office.

Levy said Langille told him yesterday that workers at the HYMC "put the mail in the boxes the same day they get it."

"If they can't get the mail in the same day they always put the first class in," Levy said he was told.

Still, Levy said, his mail is consistently delayed.

"Today I got a credit card bill that was sent seventeen days earlier," Levy said yesterday.

Langille could not be reached for comment last night.

Dimock said U.S. Postal Service standards dictate that first-class mail sent form anywhere within the United States should arrive no more than three days after being sent.
