What is the name of your state? tn
I am having problems with our mail carrier delivering packages to the wrong address. The streets are all similar names and she keeps delivering my pkgs that go to 123 abc st to 123 abcd st- around the corner.
those ppl open the mail and then keep the stuff. I went up there today after being notified that the item in question had been delivered and I never received it to see if they had it. It wasn't much- a cell phone case I had ordered. She brings one to the door- her kids opened the pkg on accident, blah blah. It is not what i ordered- obviously very used (even though she claims it was in a sealed pkg). I'm guessing that they decided to use the new one and then tried to pawn the old one off on me when I came looking.
I have complained to the post office, but it keeps happening.
I don't want to have to pay for a po box just to get my stuff. normal ppl would return a pkg when they realized it wasn't theirs- not keep it for over 2 weeks until someone comes looking for it.
my questions is... is it still a federal offense if you open someone else's mail even if it was delivered to your house? and if so, what is the possible punishment?
