WE have a lazy postal team. I have had to drive from Everglades to Lady Lake several times to pick up a pair of shoes or small objects that could have fit in the mail slot. I spoke to the “supervisor” at Lady Lake asking why the Driver passed my home at 5:15 pm and left an orange note for me to pick up my package at Lady Lake or request redelivery. The package would have fit in thee slot with the orange note.
The response was that mail carriers are no longer required to deliver to homes more than 0.5 miles off of the carrier’s main route. With that rule even redelivery is a problem. USPS would not give me anything in writing. I told them this could be a form of elder abuse and would slow critical deliveries. Several of my neighbors are recovering from surgeries and can’t drive to Lady Lake.
