‘The mail isn’t safe’: Whistleblower pulls back curtain on reported postal service issues

‘The mail isn’t safe’: Whistleblower pulls back curtain on reported postal service issues

From the article: "...The whistleblower felt compelled to come forward after they said the USPS lied to WBRC about backed up mail, confirming it was all clear in a matter of days.

“It was never cleaned up, it’s my understanding during that investigation the mail was moved from one location to another,” they stated. “There were safety complaints filed on the backed-up mail and workplace hazards. They cleared the aisles before the fire marshals came in so they could pass inspection.”

A complaint we heard from dozens of viewers: packages delayed by weeks. The tracker would show the package sitting for days or even weeks in the Birmingham distribution center. At times, instead of being delivered locally, it would travel to multiple states and then back to Birmingham.

...Our whistleblower explained when packages back up in the distribution plant, workers will put boxes on any truck regardless of the zip code in an effort to clear the floor, further delaying your delivery. They say the mail processing plants are in similar disarray. "
