Does this happen at other stations, or do I have a lazy postal team? I’ve always had good luck with the mail in the past.
Thanks for your input

You may have legal grounds to compel the post office to deliver your package regardless of the availability of parcel lockers. There is law that says they cannot withhold mail and must attempt delivery of all mail. They should attempt delivery to your physical residence, not just a parcel locker, before they require your to pick up at the post office. You could make the argument that mail should not be withheld because of a lack of parcel lockers just as it should not be withheld if the mail piece does not fit into a parcel locker. I would suggest doing some research and talking to the Postmaster. There are federal law mandates that cover the delivery requirements.
