Hah! Our mailbox is on a well-traveled road about 200 yards from the
house and not in line of sight. When we first moved here, I had one or
two packages just left on top of the mailbox, and I complained
vigorously to the post office. Since then, our carrier has delivered
any packages too big for our mailbox to our front porch. I understand
that rural route carriers operate under different rules and a different
contract than regular letter carriers - personal vehicles and no
uniforms. Perhaps that's why?

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,
They used to deliver to my house up to a year or so ago. I assume the
postal service, like a lot of businesses these days, has reduced staff
but not the workload so employees no longer have time for frivolous
activities like literally going the extra mile for customers.
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 also have a large paved area to turn around in.
