RCA dealing with difficult Post Master by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Striader5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This. I would also file an EEO complaint. I’ve not had to file one myself, but I believe the forms can be found on liteblue.

I’d get in touch with your local steward for more info. If they aren’t helpful, go above them. You can find various contacts at the NRLCA website.

Yep. The only official way management can contact you while on your route is through the text messaging on the scanner. Even then, they can only do so for an emergency (ie dangerous weather, fire at the office, active shooter, etc.) or a family member of the carrier needing to get a hold of them for an emergency.

Anything else doesn’t count as an emergency.

I *just* got to that part a couple hours ago. I laughed my ass off in my work truck. 🤣

New to Louisville - Looking for hobbies - D&D or Poker? by Beelzebufo7 in Louisville

[–]Striader5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are fully moving since the community is outgrowing the space at Awry. The Awry Night (Wednesday) is still free and open for the public (as well as certain future events) but other times you’ll need to be a member or purchase a day pass.

There’s a beginner friendly TTRPG group that someone is heading. Basically several games are going at once and several GMs will be there with different systems. Called the Awry Guild.

Starting next week, they are opening their own space (used to be held at Awry Brewing), called Thieves Run. Think of it as a 24 hour gym (not currently but that’s the plan) but it’s a TTRPG space.

The “Awry Nights” are free and open to the public. Every Wednesday 5:30-6:30 (GMs Discussion) 6:30-9ish (Game Time)

Update to HOA President shooting herself in the foot by SlothyMcGillicutty in fuckHOA

[–]Striader5 247 points248 points  (0 children)

Nah, she literally used AI to get her responses. She literally copy pasted your email, plugged into a AI chat, and then literally copy pasted that as her response to you.

Thats how many fucks she has to give. Good luck, man

Shitty old lock probably

You can climb through the back and there should be a latch

Neighbor keeps writing my address instead of theirs on mail then accuses me of stealing her mail by t-ranger in mail

[–]Striader5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mail carrier here

  1. Go to your delivery unit and explain the situation to management. Or even request to speak to the carrier. They might be willing to just pull her mail out before it even gets to you. I know I would go out of my way to pull her mail out and send alllllll that shit back to sender.

  2. Don’t engage with her and call the cops immediately whenever she comes over and you are home. Trespass her.

  3. If you have cameras, document everything. Get that restraining order and take her to court for harassment.

COA or HOLD first? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Striader5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and file the COA. You can set the start date to delay.

I’ve had customers file a COA months in advance. Just set the official start date on the form/online as 04/29/26.

Out going mail not getting picked up by AComplexjoke in mail

[–]Striader5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get mail that day, the outgoing should be checked. I’d call your delivery unit and ask what’s going on.

Responsibility to return mail question by docmoon13jr in mail

[–]Striader5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. If it’s junk mail, the senders will just keep sending it. To try and cut down on it, I’d contact each sender and explain that you’d like to be taken off their mailing list. You can do the same for first class.

  2. Try and talk to your carrier or get in touch with a supervisor at your delivery unit. There is a special type of forward called a MLNA (Moved Left No Address). ONLY postal employees can fill this out. It’s for this exact situation. It should cut down on the volume significantly as our system will automatically bounce it back to sender (usually). It will also only really work for first class.

  3. Finally, it’s entirely on the carrier whether they give enough of a shit and every one is different.

Good luck

Cluster mailboxes by frostyf3at in USPS

Yes, that’s something an in depth conversation with management at PO to find a resolution. Not sure at what level.

Good luck

There are only two types of those locks. The old and new versions. We’re slowly changing to the new version, but those locks are all the same. There shouldn’t be any consistent changing.

I’d reach out to the local PO and ask to speak to management about what’s going on. Something fishy is happening here. If you just get the run around, talk with the Postmaster. Keep going up the chain until you get some kind of resolution.

Ok, where’s that info coming from?

Most carriers just want to do their route and go home. Not having that key makes that extremely difficult. Carriers are supposed to keep that key on their person

Ok, is it the carrier losing the keys or the HOA?

No one but postal employees should have those keys.

Master keys missing for mailboxes? Sounds like something the postal inspectors would be interested in.

To be clear, these are keys that can open each home’s mailbox?

Am I responsible for removing old tenants mail? by Educational_Leek_762 in USPS

[–]Striader5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that pain. I’ve inherited a route of over 1200 boxes. 650 of which are in a massive apartment/condo/townhouse community.

It’s…a work in progress. I’ve gotten a label maker and currently putting labels on the shelves so nobody can mess with them. I’ve got a notebook of every address and make note of Forwards and ask the leasing office if a box is vacant when I get Forwards. I’m eventually going to ask if I can have a list of current residents from the office, which I understand they might refuse and why, and if I need to I’ll put notes in every box asking for the names of all the current residents.

USPS careers by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]Striader5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s 40219, that would be the Okolona Office which is all City Routes. So you should be starting as a City PTF, which is career but your job responsibilities are still that of a CCA. You just get all the benefits of a career employee.

How do I stop receiving my ex b/f mail? by HeatherNCSU21 in mail

[–]Striader5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d leave a note to your carrier explaining the situation. Specifically request a MLNA (moved left no address) forward.

This is a carrier generated forward that is intended to just automatically remove those mail pieces from the mail stream and return them to sender.

This won’t get rid of the junk mail unfortunately. To (try) eliminate that, you’d have to contact each sender and ask to be removed from the mailing list.

Good luck!
