The agency only accepts reports about the following:

Computer Crimes

COVID-19 Stimulus Check
Destruction of mail by Postal employees or contractors
Election Ballot
Embezzlements and financial crimes
Employee Misconduct
Injury compensation fraud
Internal affairs and executive investigations

The agency cannot help you with day-to-day mail delivery and customer service issues.

If you are having a problem with the delivery of your mail (late arrival, tracking, attempted delivery, misdelivery, etc.) or an employee/customer service issue, you should contact your local Post Office or USPS Consumer & Industry Contact Office instead of submitting a report to the Inspector General.

Report fraud or misconduct to the USPS Office of the Inspector General.
