The mail carriers/contractors can refuse to deliver packages by saying it's unsafe to deliver, and they can't be legally forced to deliver if the address is actually unsafe. On 9/6/26, the carrier said my dogs chased him so he won't deliver anymore, but I have security footage showing that he lied. They are also sabotaging my deliveries by putting my packages in lockers and then not giving me the key. Then they are telling me they won't deliver since I haven't picked up my locker mail. So now I have to report the carrier every time I don't get a delivery (and I have video and photo evidence showing my address is safe to deliver and it's within .5 miles of the highway mailboxes, which is legal requirement for rural delivery). The other issue is that since they refuse to deliver mail, the packages are held at the office. But they are not open during after work hours (they close at 4pm). My husband and I have to take time off work to pick up our mail. I have to regularly order a lot online due to my ongoing cancer needs for supplements, specific food items, etc. So, the mail sabotaging and seemingly retaliation tactics are really effecting me since it's not always easy type me to drive to the office. My packages were always delivered just fine before (past 6 years) so I'm not sure what changed this year but this office needs a serious overhaul. And the only thing I can do now is report the carriers to the district operations manager and with the central USPS customer support. Definitely a bummer. read more
