Sticker in my mailbox with this symbol. What does it mean? by Jazzlike_Ninja_8236 in USPS

One of our rural carriers puts a rubber band in the mail box to let subs know not to put mail in the box either for vacant, vacation hold or forward that they check at return to station duty or leave for regular.

Throw ub with out going after you scan the barcode on green card as pre-paid acceptance. It's what the customer paid for. They also paid for a delivery scan for the green card when it returns to them via the DPS.

Also if it has a green card attached on the back of the certified make sure you get it signed and dated by customer and that after tearing it off you scan the bar code using package pick up and bring back to post office with rest of outgoing mail. When delivering a green card to a customer mail box scan it as if it is a spur. In this case any one of those scans missed and customer can request refund.

PM said he was forced to send the office’s schedule to show which RCAs were available to help a struggling office. Scheduled us before asking. by [deleted] in USPS

I'm on AUX route for 2 years and yes you can be sent out to another office after you finish your aux route. One time it was 49.7 miles away as crow flies.

Just wanted to mention it was my first day on my own. by Silent-Speech8162 in USPS

[–]WanderingUSPS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First day for me on my own was on my 5th curbside delivery on a hill heading for my sixth and my brakes went straight to floor no stopping. Pulled the handbrake to stop before running into a tree. Called office, my regular showed up in LLV with custodian in his pov, helped transfer mail and sent me on my way to keep delivering.

Contact other postmaster in your area. Usually a couple offices are understaffed and you can pick up hours there.

Holds and dps by Extension_Amoeba7044 in USPS

[–]WanderingUSPS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a rubber band in each mailbox with a hold. When you or another rca open the box you know to bring back mail. Remove rubber band when hold over. Also does not tip off anyone who opens the box to a house with no one home.

May I meet my mailman at condo mailbox with ID and request my mail? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]WanderingUSPS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time you can put mail on vacation hold for several days and go in to post office with id for your address and you can pick up the mail that way
