MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — People in a Madison County community are sounding off about mail delivery issues they say they’ve been dealing with for an extended amount of time.
Some living in Hampton Cove say the local U.S. Postal Office handling their mail is too small to serve the growing area. “Frustration is the word and also we really feel sympathy for the postal workers,” said resident Helen Fatchet.

For Fatchet and others in the communities near Hampton Cove, mail delivery from the Owens Cross Roads Post Office has been an ongoing problem.
From delayed deliveries to none at all, Fatchet says it’s been a major inconvenience.
“I’ve had mail delivered late, I had informed delivery that told me that I was getting some mail that I did not receive until at least two weeks later. It’s made a big impact, packages arrive late, I get my neighbor’s mail, they get my mail, “Fatchet added.
Hampton Cove residents say people there have home addresses that are outside Huntsville city limits.
