I work for the USPS shipping supplies dept. AMA!

I work under the shipping supplies department of the USPS. I am not a government employee, we are the company that orchestrates the warehouse distribution of the usps's supplies. We handle filling orders for packages/envelopes. Chances are, if you've ever ordered envelopes or boxes from the online store or through the call center we've got an account with your info up.

If you have any questions about delivery status/s or tracking information/ or questions about what the stealthiest packaging would be/etc etc. Feel free to ask me and I can probably provide you with whatever info you're looking for.

So feel free to AMA!

If I lick too many envelopes, will I die of acute toxicity like George's fiancee on Seinfeld?

about what the stealthiest packaging would be

I think I'll stick to my own thoughts on that, no offense. But thank you.

Do they mention to look out for people shipping illicit items? Are there any red flags you are told to look for?

Great. Thanks.

Are the boxes or envelopes you send to customer traceable to that customer in any way?

Chances are, if you've ever ordered envelopes or boxes from the online store or through the call center we've got an account with your info up.

Exactly what information is stored on the customer? Do you have IP addresses? Surely delivery addresses, names. What about payment info? Detailed order history? How long are records kept? Oh I see your reply above to the deleted post:

We have accounts/order histories for every customer with all of their personal information dating back to 2009/2010. It tells us when you buy boxes through ebay, through stamps.com, through the online store, pretty much everywhere. There is a huge network where no matter who you order through, they all kind of come from us in some way or another.

If someone orders a roll of tracking stickers, does your company record which tracking numbers or which specific roll was delivered to that customer?
