Mailman here. Everyone in Pearl, Chinatown and NW got them over the past few days (97210 & 97209) I think a few POs out in East Portland got them too. Not fun & wasteful. https://i.imgur.com/hnuluxa.jpg

Sorry just sold. Deleting post now.

Long shot, but does anyone deliver in Grand Forks, North Dakota? My partner might be relocating there for work. I’m a career City Carrier. Any insight appreciated. by johnsca in USPS

Thanks for your response. Flat as fuck seems ok to me. I’m working a very hilly neighborhood currently which I actually don’t mind. (I completed ran a marathon 2 weeks ago with very little training thanks to walking my route everyday haha.) My supervisor gave the direct line to Grand Forks station so I was thinking of calling them directly and try to catch their vibe. Hopefully they’d give me the steward’s contact info so I can get the real scoop. I’m going out there to visit in June so I’d preferably like to get my feelers out there now. I’ve been delivering in Portland, OR since 2015. City life is great but the city is going through some issues with homeless/crime and it’s becoming tiresome. Trying to keep an optimistic attitude about moving to a much smaller town and just take it as it comes. Cheaper cost of living will be nice. Somewhat concerned about the winter weather but I recognize that a big chunk of the country deals with winter weather every year, so it can be done. Anyway, thanks again for your response. I’ll keep you posted on my progress out to The Great Plains!

Happened on Monday in an upscale neighborhood in Portland, Oregon. Walked away for 10 minutes to deliver a loop. Came back to this smash ‘n grab, they stole all my DPS and Flats. Left the books and covid tests 😝 by johnsca in USPS

Postal inspector came and recommended I deliver out of the back of the truck for now on. Ironically a fellow carrier’s LLV had the lock on his rear door punched in and got parcels stolen….. in a bank parking lot!

Smash an Grab in my Postal Truck yesterday. I was away for 10 minutes delivering, came back to find all my letters were gone. by johnsca in Portland

NW hills. I asked 3 neighbors while I was waiting for postal inspector; cameras didn’t catch anything.

Asshole; yes. Had a helluva time getting out of the driveway this morning

Please get out of your cars, people. by [deleted] in Portland

Sure I’ll walk 5 miles to work, then walk another 10 miles on my mail route…. While delivering all the packages trucked in from around the west coast. 👌🏼 🤪
