Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

So every single package is hand delivered? That's crazy to me.
That is a special service here usually requiring a signature. They are uncommon.
I worked in logistics. I am not exaggerating when I say you have seconds per package on your route, and no I don't just mean Amazon. Waiting 2 minutes at every door to wait for someone to answer would mean we'd need 5-10x the staffing.
How does that even work? 95% of your customers are going to be at they're own job not sitting at home.
When I worked for USPS the number ~8 seconds per mailbox. Not an exaggeration.
In theory yes, in practice they often pretend I'm not home (twice) and then make me pick it up from the pickup point. But big packages always get hand delivered because pickup points don't accept them.
That's why I send them to a company address. They don't so this with businesses.
Usually if you're working you send it to your workplace, if that's not an option you pick it up on the pickup point.
