Where to report stolen mail

If you suspect that your mail has been stolen, there are several steps you can take to report the incident and try to recover your stolen mail:

  1. Contact your local post office: Reach out to your local post office or postal carrier and report the theft. They can help you file a report and provide guidance on what to do next.
  2. File a report with the USPS: You can file a report with the United States Postal Service (USPS) online or by calling their customer service number at 1-800-275-8777. You'll need to provide your name, address, and a detailed description of the stolen mail.
  3. Contact your local police department: If the theft occurred in your neighborhood or community, you may want to file a police report. This can help you recover your stolen mail and may also help prevent future thefts.
  4. Check with your credit card company: If you had credit cards or other financial documents in the stolen mail, contact your credit card company to report the theft and request a replacement card.
  5. Contact the sender: If you received a package or letter that was stolen, contact the sender to let them know what happened. They may be able to resend the item or provide additional information.
