Tired of USPS accepting packages from other carriers (who deliver to me) to handle final delivery, but then refuse to deliver to my rural home. If they are not willing to do the job, they shouldn't take on the responsibility. USPS rules and guidelines state:
Nov 14, 2024 Knowledge
Article Number 000006172
General Guidelines
For Accountable mail items and oversized parcels (not postage due), the carrier must try to gain the attention of the recipient, which includes honking their horn, in order to get them to come to the vehicle. If the customer doesn't come out and the "house/delivery point is within 1/2 mile of the line of travel AND has a passable road, the carrier should attempt to deliver it".
