Virginia USPS Audit Reveals Severe Issues at Richmond Facility

An audit of the Richmond USPS facility highlights significant operational and service performance problems, putting the efficiency of the Postal Service's modernization plan into question.

• A recent audit by the USPS inspector general found major issues at the Richmond, Virginia, mail processing facility, including delayed, misplaced, or missing mail.
• The audit identified problems like inadequate management, high turnover, and low service performance, which have led to a significant decrease in service performance for the region.
• The Richmond facility, the first of 60 planned regional processing centers, has not met its efficiency goals, with only 66% of first-class mail delivered within two days, compared to the national average of 87%.
• The Postal Service agrees with most of the inspector general’s recommendations for improvement and has begun efforts to address these challenges.
• Virginia lawmakers, including U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, have urged the USPS to implement the inspector general’s recommendations to ensure timely and reliable mail delivery for Virginians.
