Western States Postal Services is a scam. Please be wary of this and do not give out any of your personal info. These individuals are stealing and sending the packages to you and you are a "shipping clerk" do not fall for this scam. I really thought they where a legitimate business. Call me gullable. They startede shipping packages to me that I would "process" and then send to an international address. My husband became very suspicious and did a search. Onc we read the rip off report I was appalled and I felt used. The way that it started was I received a email with the following: Hello,
Thank you for expressing interest in our stimulating work at home opportunity with no out of pocket costs. We are ready to seriously consider your candidacy. We present you the opportunity to become better acquainted with the detailed job description for this vacancy, as well as about our companys activities. You may find a link to the company website in the application enclosed to this letter. Please take time to read more about us and you will have a better understanding of the services we provide.
Western States Postal Service is an online company with a brick-and-mortar presence in Los Angeles, which enables its clients to rent a postal address in the USA, where it is possible to receive correspondence and parcels and also to manage these deliveries online. Our companys services are popular with foreign companies that work with American customers, business people who travel frequently, as well as with foreign customers that buy and sell goods in the USA. Over the years, we have expanded the range of the services we provide, from ordinary mail forwarding to include the opportunity to fully monitor and manage your postal deliveries online. Our companys mission is continuous development. Apart from regularly introducing technological innovations in our work, our company actively employs the principles of remote operations, as this system of organization enables us to reduce warehousing costs and provide a large selection of addresses available in different states.
You have the opportunity to become one of our remote employees. Your duties will include receiving and processing parcels and letters sent to your address, as well as sending them to our customers. You will also need to print prepaid labels, process invoices, and take photos of the contents. We work with the courier services USPS, DHL, UPS, and Fedex. Parcels will be delivered to your home address, so you will need to be at home during business hours, which are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. You will work using your online account at our companys website. There, you will find the list of incoming shipments, your current work tasks, and also the relevant prepaid shipping labels for sending letters and parcels. Due to the fact that the entire process is fully automated and the shipping labels are prepaid, you will not have to pay for anything on your own or fill out any forms and documents. For working with us, you will need a printer and a simple digital camera. It is also desirable that you have a car for delivering parcels to the relevant postal service providers. If you are disciplined, can work independently, and maintain consistent contact with your manager by phone and email; this is a good fit for you.
Your salary will be $36,000 per year, to be paid on a monthly basis. Since this is a home based position, it gives you an opportunity to save your time and have more flexible schedule with less stress and anxiety, but it is not a part-time position and you will not be able to combine this work with any other full-time job.
You can feel secure during the work process. For security purposes all our customers go through a careful verification process. The parcels usually contain electronics, clothing, auto parts and sporting goods. During the work you will be able to inspect the majority of parcels yourself. We also work only with fully paid shipments. We do not even initiate operations with any customers if we are not sure about their factual sphere of business or the purposes for which they are using our services. We clarify this during a phone interview. We work with our clients only after they send us two types of ID and 1583 form certified by the notary.

After logging in, we need to confirm that your address is correct and you are 100 prepared to receive and forward packages on behalf of our clients that are delivered to your home address. Therefore, I would like for you to send me a test message using the Messages option. When it is received, I will know you are ready to go.
Here is an important point that must be followed without fail. Every package or correspondence that is received daily must be processed and forwarded to our clients the same day when they arrive before 3 pm. You can find the prepaid shipping labels available online in your account.
To get the process started, the first package will be delivered within 7 business days. So, be prepared.
Once the package or correspondence arrives, if you have any questions at all about the process, please do not hesitate to call me. I am here to assist you in any way I can.
Your first paycheck is mailed 31 days after you forward the initial package. So, the date of your first paycheck is tied to the forwarding date of the package.

If you have any out of pocket expenses, there is an expense report attached which must be submitted no later than the end of each month. The reimbursement of those expenses will be added to your paycheck.
If you have further questions or concerns, please contact me at any time.
Regards,
Barbara Novak,
