Bay Shore Mail Carrier Accused Of Throwing Packages

BAY SHORE, NY — The United States Postal Service is currently reviewing the behavior of a Bay Shore mail carrier, after community members said he has carelessly thrown their mail and packages for months.

Neighbors have reported to the postal service they've seen the same mail carrier on home video surveillance throwing the packages — and, in some cases, damaging them, News12 reported.

But so far, nothing has been done.

One Bay Shore resident claimed that the same day the postmaster spoke with the carrier about his behavior, he continued to throw packages, News 12 said.

The postal service told Patch that they are aware of the issue, and it is under review.

"The U.S. Postal Service expects all of our employees to protect and handle every mailpiece with care," a representative said in a statement. "We will reinforce our handling procedures and expectations with carriers to ensure the sanctity of the mail and the values of our organization are upheld."
