(CNN) The United States Postal Service announced Sunday it would stop removing postal collection boxes through late November following complaints about how some had been taken away, meaning there will be no change in the boxes' locations until after Election Day. USPS had faced heavy criticism for the removals as there is expected to be a large surge of people mailing in their ballots instead of going to polls in this presidential election. "Given the recent customer concerns the Postal Service will postpone removing boxes for a period of 90 days while we evaluate our customers concerns," USPS spokeswoman Kim Frum said in a statement to CNN. Frum said USPS annually reviews how much various boxes are used to "identify redundant/seldom used collection boxes as first-class mail volume continues" to decline.
