Mail Delivery, Customer Service, and Property Conditions Review – Select Units, Milwaukee, WI Region

We performed a self-initiated audit at the Milwaukee Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) and three delivery units serviced by the P&DC during the week of June 27, 2022. The delivery units included the Bradley Carrier Annex, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Station, North Milwaukee Station, and the Waukesha Main Post Office.

We issued individual reports for the three delivery units and the P&DC we visited. We also issued another report summarizing the results of our audits at all four delivery units with specific recommendations for management to address.
