It depends if it's delivered by USPS or UPS. We're in Pinellas and have done this multiple times without any issues.

It may depend on where you live. We always give the mail carrier a gift card when we're in the area. There is a limit of $20.00, we have never met he/she, but know when we are in the area, they have to work twice as hard delivering our packages.
The folks doing the sorting are contract employees, not employees of USPS. Why would there be a $20 limit?
