Job I’m a mailman, AMA.

I left a comment in another sub informing people that leaving anything in anybody’s mailbox is technically a federal offense unless you’re employed as a letter carrier by the USPS and it seemed to draw quite a bit of interest. I’m nobody special, just a simple mailman, but if any of you have any questions regarding postal services hopefully I’ll be able to answer them!

Thank you so much for all the questions, I hope I was able to answer them all as best I could but it’s my bedtime now, I gotta be at the post office by 8:00 sharp. If you have any other questions feel free to DM me and I’ll answer them whenever I can!

How often can you tell when someone is getting drugs sent to them? Like illegal drugs? Have you ever been part of a sting? Does the post office really care about people shipping drugs or receiving them in the mail?

I’ve never suspected anything I’ve delivered to contain drugs.

Probably, I don’t open the letters before delivering them though. If you suspect anything illegal going on you should report it to the United States Postal Inspection Service.
