How Mail Tracking Reports Ensure Dependable Mail Handling

There was a recent article in the Washington Post highlighting an OIG (Office of Inspector General) audit report that determined the USPS did not accurately account for the on-hand delayed mail within their facilities, essentially ‘underreporting’ their figures. While the report estimated billions of delayed mail to the facilities during the audit timeframe, rest assured, our mail tracking indicates it was business as usual for your in-home dates.

As result of the findings, the OIG is recommending for the USPS to require formal training for personnel involved in supervising, conducting, and reporting daily mail counts. They also advised that management should review reports for accuracy and the Mail Condition Reporting used by the processing facilities should integrate other data points available within the USPS.
