I just don't know what to think sometimes.
We live on an unimproved road 15 miles from town. Our mailbox is out on the main road a half mile away. Up until the the beginning of the year if USPS was delivering a package that would not fit in the mailbox they dropped it off at a small country store a few miles away. They would not drive up our road. If it was too large to be delivered by the carrier they left it at the main USPS warehouse in town which was a pita sometimes.
Now there is a post office five miles away in an unincorporated town but because their zip code is different than ours USPS would not send packages there.
UPS and Fedex do deliver to our gate.
At the end of December, after 30 years in business, due to a lack of support from suppliers the small country store closed. (a whole different discussion). With the closing we were hoping USPS would at least drop packages at a private mail center in the incorporated town.
Nope, now for some miraculous reason USPS delivers up our road to the gate and on Sundays! That's great but why now and not before???
I'm also signed up for the "Informed Delivery" so we know what is coming in the mail. We only pickup mail once or twice a week unless something important is coming. Up until this morning I had never had a notification for a package so I was surprised to see it. Now I was not expecting anything until Friday so thinking maybe something was coming early I clicked on the link. "DELIVERED JANUARY 4th"
