I am in the county of wythe served by Wytheville Post office 17 miles away. While they have good hardworking mail carriers, Unfortunately I often have a very lazy carrier.
I live in a dead end subdivision 7/10 of a mile from mailbox and anything that won't fit in my large mailbox they lie and document undeliverable due to "no access code for entry" or some other lie instead of stating that it's over half mile and federal post office regulations say they aren't required to deliver over half a mile (this is their sorry excuse given by personel at Wytheville Post office)
So they are fine that I have to make a 35 mile round trip drive to pick up package they are paid to deliver so carrier doesn't have to make a round trip of 0.4 mile.
Businesses should not use the post office to ship their products. I hate the Wytheville VA Post office
We recently purchased and moved into our new home. We have a mail receptical right next to our front door. After about a week of not getting our mail, our postman posted a note on the door stating that we needed a box fronting the road in order to get our mail. (everyone in the neighborhood has a mail receptical right next to their door) He said this was encouraged for new residents in the neighborhood but not required. We have not been able to put a box up yet and he quit giving us our mail for awhile until I ran him down in the street and asked for it. After a discussion, he stated I would not get my mail if I did not put a box next to my driveway. I asked him to please put the mail in the box that has been next to the previous owners door for 18 years and where she received her mail. Now, instead of placing our mail in the box right beside the door, he throws the mail in front of our door. Every day we come home it is all over the place. It would actually take less time to put it into the reciptical than to open our storm door and throw it inside. I guess he is mad, but this is very unprofessional and rude. No wonder the post office is losing money.
