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.

I suspect the USPS delivers to one of two places: Your delivery address or the post office that your mail goes through. In this case, rather than hold it at the post office they delivered it to the address - the box at the postal station.

Now, you could argue that keeping it at the station was wrong and they should have held it at the post office. Would that have been better for you or would you then be writing about the four trips you had to make up to Lady Lake?

If the contract employee hand-delivers anything to your front door that is a courtesy. UPS delivers to your door; FedEx delivers to your door; the USPS delivers to the mail stations.
