[global times comprehensive report] according to japan's yomiuri tv on the 29th, japan post said on the 28th that a male employee working at the nishinari post office in osaka city was found to have discarded about 2,827 express parcels.
japan post said that the employee, who was less than 20 years old and worked at the nishinari post office, had been arrested. he had thrown away 2,827 parcels that were supposed to be delivered in seven places within his delivery area over a period of about a month starting in june. in late july, residents near the nishinari district contacted the post office and said that "there were many parcels next to the apartment." after confirming with the employee in charge, they learned that these parcels had been abandoned.
according to reports, the post office has received many complaints about lost parcels since june. the employee who threw away the parcels joined the company in april this year and had to deliver about 300 to 500 parcels a day. in an interview, he said that he threw away the parcels because he "could not finish delivering them."
according to reports, japan post's operating loss in fiscal year 2023 (ending at the end of march this year) was 89.6 billion yen (about 4.37 billion yuan), more than four times that of the previous fiscal year. due to the continued decline in letter processing volume, operating income fell by 5% from the previous fiscal year.
