How to Complain About a Postal Problem

Updated June 26, 2019 | Infoplease Staff

When you have a problem with your mail service, complete a Consumer Service Card which is available from letter carriers and at post offices. This will help your postmaster respond to your problem. If you wish to telephone a complaint, a postal employee will fill out the card for you.
