NDMailman -- "How big of shit can someone get in for posting on Facebook its mail count and tell all their customers to make sure they buy a bunch of stuff the next 2 weeks?"
-- IF the posting can be traced directly back to you, things could get ugly, IF there was a notable increase in the usual number of parcels for your route in the next few days.
-- Note the last item on the bottom of Page 13 of the 2018 Mail Count Guide: It is unacceptable for either management or rural carriers to take actions that affect the integrity of the mail count. ( it is even in <strong>bold</strong> type )
-- Of course ( wink, wink ), we all know that does not apply to manglement!

NDmailman -- "A person at our post office posted on her wall (small town, so most of her customers are on her facebook) that its mail count the next 2 weeks and then went on in comments to explain what it is."
-- No problem there. I used to do the same for my customers. They were incredulous that our yearly pay was based on count.
-- It's the "order more" that will be looked upon unfavorably if someone makes an issue of it.
-- Of course, manglement will have to prove it was the facebook posting that was the stimulus behind the parcel orders.
-- Still, "thin ice" comes to mind.

It is a small town and I don't believe that management could ever prove that a facebook post affected count. They aren't smart enough. Plus it isn't like the carrier ordered things and had them shipped to their route. People won't buy things if they don't want to. I have told quite a few businessess and a few customers that we do mail counts to determine my wages. I joke with a couple them that they need to ship a bunch of stuff and buy twice as much. I told my biggest shipping business that they needed to have a 40% off sale bcuz I wanted a raise. They said no. That is certainly less tampering than manglement does.

So, make me believe that the USPS did not offer big mailers and shippers deals to mail and ship right before and right after the mail count... puhlease... make me believe that my DPS today was not almost all only 1st Class mail today... puhlease... they manipulate and cheat WAY better than we EVER could... anybody suppose the USPSIS is looking in to any of the USPS cheating or other unscrupulous activities... when it's a carrier, everybody wants to start chanting "lock them up!".... when it's the USPS it's like yawn... so what's new??? <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

it won't do any good; everything I've tried to order only has Fedex and UPS as shipping options

I wasn't suppose to offer pkg pickup to big time shippers on my route 2 weeks before mail count? I only offered to pick up those burdensome pkgs.
Testimonials:
"I didn't know you could"
"I thought it would be a burden"
"Will you have room?...ill make room"

Going to be a tight race with the PTF clerk that accidentally gave me over 80 of another route's raw letters this morning. He is awesome </blockquote>
The 80 letters probably wont make that much of difference but ya never know !
You still get my vote !!
