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?

Yes, it’s a problem. I ordered eight 6’ lighting tracks from Amazon that came in individual cardboard tube. They were left in my postal station. Sure, a note was placed in my box. But 6’ tracks don’t fit in an oversized locker. So I had to make four trips the half mile to my postal station before getting there when some contract postal worker was there delivering mail and could let me have the tubes. As there was a weekend involved and also my schedule, it took me around six days to get them from the Postal Station. They should have been delivered to my house.
