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?

You can use Amazon Locker. Find the closest Amazon locker to your house & direct all deliveries to the locker. It is not as convenient as 'to the house delivery', but it is safe from porch pirates & is closer than Lady Lake. Your closest one might be the Save a Lot in Wildwood. Or you can choose any locker site you like. You choose a pickup location during Amazon checkout. You can make it your default delivery. If your item is too large for delivery to that locker location you can search for others with larger lockers. Another option would be the 'in garage delivery', if your garage is compliant. Look in the Your Account option on Amazon.
