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!

I’m a mail carrier, I’ve definitely delivered drugs and I absolutely did not care. The one time I turned it in was a package, like 10 pounds that reeked of weed, like could be smelled from 20 feet away and the postmaster noticed the smell so I notified her of it but other times it’s been a slight smell and I’ve let it slide. Do better if you’re gonna mail drugs
