Dead Letter Office?


Do Dead Letter Offices like the one seen in the movie, do they even look like that? Also if there is a Dead Letter Office, how bad is it working in there?

I'm not sure if it does but it must be an excellent place to goof off.

we have "letter aisles" where the workers "case" non-machineable letters. Then the items that would go to a dead letter area sorta does look like that... just not as dark and dreary lol

There are offices around the country cailed recovery centers that house all of the property that is "not deliverable". I have found people mailing wallets, cash, photographs, and for whatever reason---whether it be because the glue on the item didnt keep the flap shut, or because the machine tore it apart---these items wind up in the dead letter aisle.

we once had a human head come thru the mail--- it was being sent to a university, and was wrapped in brown paper. the outter wrapping deteriorated when the glass cracked and the formaldehyde leaked out.
