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.

Remember to take all of these issues into consideration at holiday time. Good work deserves good tips, and poor service, well, optional.
