When the Postal Service's plan will take effect is still up in the air.

All of Reno's outgoing mail will be sent to Sacramento for processing and many are not happy about it.

There has been a lot of push back on this decision for months, and soon, even if you send a letter here in town, it will have to travel through the Sierra.

We heard on Tuesday from both U.S. Senators for Nevada, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, that they were not happy about this decision.

"I am outraged that out-of-touch Washington bureaucrats think they know what's best for our state and have decided to move forward with this misguided plan to move mail processing operations to Sacramento," Senator Rosen said in a statement. "As Nevadans have made clear all along, this decision will impact hardworking families and small businesses that rely on timely mail delivery. Let me be absolutely clear: this fight is not over. As a member of the committee with jurisdiction over the Postal Service, I will continue to fight against this ill-advised decision and explore all available options to prevent it from being implemented."

The United States Postal Service is still unsure when this change will happen.

People we spoke with said they think it's a bad idea.

"I am a caregiver for a disabled veteran and I already have a hard time getting his prescription in the mail," said Michelle Michael, local resident. "So now he has seizures. He's got a brain injury and now I'm going to have to wait extra time to get his medication. Who knows if I'm going to get his seizure medication on time." 

"Just seems to be illogical and Reno seems to be a big enough area that we should be able to handle mail distribution here," said David Morgan, local resident. "Especially if I'm just mailing something across town. Which I just did here." 

Essentially, Reno's current processing and delivering center will remain open and be converted to a local processing center.

The Postal Service will invest up to $13.4 million to modernize that center.

This is part of it's 10 Year Delivering for America Plan.

For potential impacts, USPS says that most of the mail they receive already leaves the local area. 

The agency said in a statement, "We currently sort that outgoing mail in Reno and then put it on a truck to Sacramento. With this change, we're simply taking out that expensive and inefficient first handling."

While majority of people said they were strongly against it, one person was more understanding.

"The Postal Service is a business," said Denise Drazy-Shedd, local resident. "It's had to self support for the most part anyways, my understanding and like any business it has to do what it has to do to survive."

The Postal Service says that having the mail processed in Sacramento will save them about $3 million to $4 million in its first year.
