Alan,
Don't spread that news to my post office! My carrier has to travel 3/4
mile on a private road to get to the mailbox, and then if parcels will
not fit in my large mailbox, he comes up my 1/4 mile driveway to deliver
them to the front door. I have always had great service from the postal
carriers.
At least my local postal carrier does seem to care!
Of course, UPS and FedEx also deliver to the door too - we have a
sufficiently large area for them to turn even a large truck around with
ease.

I've had a lot of trouble with the postal service. They now refuse to
deliver packages to my house. They apparently found a rule that says
if your house is more than 1/2 mile from the public roadway, they
don't have to deliver parcels. So to save the driver 5 minutes
delivering to my house I have to make a 1-1/2 hour round trip to the
post office to pick up my package.
FedEx, UPS, OnTrack and all other delivery companies do deliver to my
house. But not the postal service.
My experience is that USPS is a big, bureaucratic, semi-governmental
organization that doesn't care about its customers.
