Seems like it would encourage small time mail label fraud as it took 240K+ altered labels for 1 business to get caught. Sounds like USPS is sorely incompetent and needs to investigate their own fraud inspectors if this much theft occurs.
USPS should also investigate their overpaid, union protected thugs about the physical abuse of packages that were left at their mercy by naive, trusting customers.
By the same token, how about investigating the hundreds of dollars I have to dispute every year on erroneous APV adjustments?? 4 lbs on a 9″x12″ tyvek envelope??
Funny how USPS employees shrug their shoulders and say “Not my job, I am not working any harder than I can …” and let it pass on. But then, why break a sweat in a protected job position?
