Wildwood has grown exponentially in a short period. The population was barely 7000 people ten years ago and now it's over 20k and growing fast. They have postal facilities in Wildwood, but somehow are not setup at the current time to handle deliveries to areas within TV. It just doesn't seem acceptable for anyone to be expected to drive 15+ miles each way to get their oversized package. I would've thought that USPS had a standard set for something like that.

Maybe someone that frequents this forum would know who to best contact to bring this issue up to.
Your problem isn't with TV or the US Post Office, it's with companies such as Amazon.

The USPS is a government agency and burdened by numerous regulations. Your "mailing address" and "delivery address" are 2 different addresses, based on the agreement with the Post Office. Your "delivery address" is the Mailbox in TV. That's where all your mail goes. If there's no room, it goes to the local Post Office.

If you don't like it, stop doing business with companies that us the USPS for deliveries. It's not complicated.
