Default Fed Ex and packages

Does Fed Ex and UPS deliver in the villages? Also, where do you get packages that won't fit in those tiny mail boxes? Thanks.

Fed-Ex and UPS both deliver to TV. Re packages: The mail people put it in a bigger mailbox and leave the key to box in your mailbox. You leave the key in the lock.

Both FedEx and UPS deliver extensively in TV and unless a signature is specifically required by the shipper, will be happy to leave the box at your door.

If you have a USPS item arrive that is larger than the small letter box the carrier will leave a key in your box. Take that key and go to the larger boxes. The key and the box will be correspondingly numbered. Insert the key, turn and the compartment will open revealing your package. Do NOT try to remove the key the USPS employee left you. It is now locked into the door until removed by an agent. It's a system that works pretty well except when the carrier is determined to stuff your small box full even though a large box would be appropriate.

Hope this explains things.

Also if the the package from the USPS is to big to put in the larger box, the carrier will bring it to ur door if it is secure and no signature is required.
