The post office is required to check ID to stop your mail. Talk to the postal inspector.

This and they also put a postcard in your mailbox stating that the mail has been stopped.

Several postal workers with decades of experience have told me that if they had to follow all of the rules, you would never get your mail. I think that is mostly correct.

Most of what I see from our mail carriers at home are drooling, lazy morons with very bad attitudes. If I had a problem, I have zero confidence that could or would solve it without a maximum amount of wasted effort and frustration on my part.

We need illicit and highly paid professionals!LOL

I'm not lazy, don't drool, or have an attitude problem. Can you elaborate?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by illicit and/or highly paid. Can you elaborate?

The USPS gets a lot of complaints because it is the 2nd largest employer in the US. Walmart is the largest employer (unless Amazon has changed that landscape), so it going to be expected that people have a lot of complaints on something they use daily. Let me guess what is next. Comcast cable, maybe...

..you will need to show ID when you pick up your mail from your local post office. At least I've always had to.

THAT's the real surprise one for me, they've NEVER asked for ID when I pick the mail up. I guess their assumption is that a stranger wouldn't know the mail was on hold. A bad assumption.
