Default Problems with USPS delivering Amazon packages

I am frustrated! We live in Richmond, and our postal worker leaves any Amazon packages that won’t fit into a locker back at the Lady Lakes post office. We just get a slip in our mailbox saying we must get it ourselves.Talking to a number of other Villagers, I find that many postal workers drop packages off at their doors. Most other places we have lived, Amazon trucks deliver everything. Here, much is carried “the last mile” by the USPS. Problem is - the contracted employees (not regular post office employees) negotiated a new contract that limits their responsibility to 1/2 mile from the postal boxes. We are 7/10 mi.! So 30+ minutes drive one way to retrieve our packages! Anybody else have this problem? Anyone find a solution?
