Parcel Delivery Mailman

What's the single most annoying or frustrating part of the job.

Asked by LI Paul over 12 years ago

I'd have to say it's when someone calls for a re-delivery because they weren't home the first time, and then you get there with it for the 2nd time and they aren't home again. Especially when you gotta huff it up 4 flights of stairs on a 90 degree day. It definitely makes my blood boil. There usually isn't a 3rd attempt.

My friend told me that I could get something delivered for free if I put it in the mail with no postage, and put the address where i REALLY want it to go as the return address. Will that work?

I'm sure that back in the day there was more of a chance of that happening, but I still have yet to see someone try it. I suppose it would work, but someone would eventually catch on and your friend would get caught for mail fraud.

Do you think that packages coming in from overseas are a high-risk for terrorism? Customs can’t possibly open EVERY package that comes in right?

I belive that they scan/xray the majority of items coming into the country.  Safety is the main concern when it comes to the mail. I highly doubt that anything hazardous or dangerous would make it past security screenings. Also,  parcels from other countries have customs tags on them which describe the contents.

You said you delivered to the projects; have you ever been attacked or robbed there?

No. Luckily for me,  I'm 6'3'' and weigh over 250 lbs. People tend to stay away from me and I'm thankful for it. I'm also very friendly with everybody and I feel like that helps. I have had some arguments with cab drivers,  but that's about it.

Are you allowed to double-park whenever you make deliveries?

Could you advise me if there is any postal regulations regarding the delivery of international express packages to the condo door? I can go outside my condo gate for the packages but not other disabled family member. It's been quite a problem...
