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?
These “workers” don't actually have or work under a contract. They receive zero benefits as a result. Your postal carrier is a lazy ass. I would report and complain until this is corrected. Let Amazon know too. I bet the postal worker marks your package as delivered too. Absolutely unacceptable.
