An audit of postal facilities in Center Point, Birmingham, Northport and Tuscaloosa found operational problems that the report said was hampering the quality of service in those locations.
The audits, conducted by the United States Post Office’s Office of the Inspector General, found issues related to delayed mail at all four of the sites, including problems with scanning of packages, carriers and the condition of the properties. The Birmingham facility had difficulty with clearance times, outbound trips, scan compliance, security and other issues, the report said.
Debra Jean Fetterly, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service in Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, referred to the appendices in the audits but declined further comment.
