This hasn’t been my experience. Recently reported a large problematic activity involving hundreds of mailboxes. The post office told me to call the postal inspectors, and the postal inspectors said call my local office.
Idk where the “postal inspectors are bad ass” meme comes from online, but from my sample size they’re just as useless as any other government org.
- missedthecue 3y agoI was going to say the same thing. My passport was stolen from a mail truck a few years ago and the last update I got from the postal inspectors was that they gave up and told me I wasn't getting my parcel back, and that I should cut my losses. And that was only about 2 weeks after the theft occurred, although they did send me automated "we haven't made progress" emails every 6 months until the case was officially closed. Their "investigation" might as well have never happened. For some reason, the internet thinks they are a group of James Bond secret agents. In my experience dealing with them, they are TSA level, totally indifferent schlubby federal workers waiting for their pension to vest.
- shiroiuma 3y agoI wonder how much the timeframe matters. I feel like a lot of stuff in the US has really gone down the toilet in the last 20 years, so maybe the Postal Inspectors really were badass 50+ years ago.
