With demand surging during the novel coronavirus pandemic and a month-long strike by postal workers, customers have noticed a deterioration in service and delays in deliveries. Queues at branches have become more common since August 17, when the closure began.

With the postal strike, invoices can expire before the consumer has received the charge, leading to late payment penalties. In order not to be surprised with the interest and penalties that derive from it, ideally, the consumer should plan to pay bills, observing the time they usually arrive.
If you notice that the due date is close and the payment receipt has not arrived, the consumer should anticipate it, contacting the SAC (Customer Service) of the company issuing the account and requesting another way to make the payment: duplicate of the ticket, without interest, delivery of the payment by email, bank deposit or barcode for payment at ATM.

If no other form of payment is possible, even after contacting the provider, the debt cannot be charged with interest and a penalty.
For those who urgently need to send orders or correspondence during the Post Office interruption period, the recommendation is to look for alternative or private delivery services. It is advisable to request that the delivery period be recorded in writing, which allows claiming any claim in case of delay.
If the consumer has contracted delivery services directly at the Post Office (for example, by sending a Sedex), it is possible to request a refund or a reduction in value if there is a delay in delivery. The report must be made in a consumer protection agency, such as Procon., including being able to demand, in Specialized Civil Court, compensation for the reimbursement of eventual moral or economic losses.
