- PDPrincess DiorSep 13, 20252.0Every time I have a package that’s supposed to be sent to my address. The mail carrier will not deliver it to my door unless it will fit in the mailbox because he doesn’t wanna walk up the steps so every time I have to wait days on my package just to receive it and have to go out of my way to go pick up all of my packages
