Deposit by Mail Controls at Selected Mail Processing Facilities

Our objective was to assess controls and actions taken by the U.S. Postal Service to address identified security deficiencies surrounding the Postal Service’s Deposit by Mail (DBM) service at [redacted] mail processing facilities. At the request of a business customer, the Postal Service initiated a new service in February 2015 called DBM, which allows cash and high-value mailings to be sent through the Postal Service Priority Mail system. USPS has 16,000 retail locations throughout the country that participate in the DBM service. The high-value DBM mail is handled and processed like any other Priority Mail.
