Background

The U.S. Postal Service’s mission is to provide timely, reliable, secure, and affordable mail and package delivery to more than 160 million residential and business addresses across the country. The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General (OIG) reviews delivery operations at facilities across the country and provides management with timely feedback in furtherance of this mission.

This interim report presents the results of our self-initiated audit of delivery operations and property conditions at the Perry Administrative Post Office (APO) in Perry, GA (Project Number 25-015-2). The Perry APO is in the Georgia District of the Southern Area and serves about 39,840 people in ZIP Codes 31047 and 31069, which are considered predominantly urban communities (see Figure 1). Specifically, 31,205 (78 percent) live in urban communities and 8,635 (22 percent) live in rural communities.

Our objective was to evaluate mail delivery operations and property conditions at the Perry APO in Perry, GA.
