Mail carrier is Lazy for county road 278. Amazon keeps giving me messages, " driveway or front porch not accessible. ( we do not have a gate) , Mail Box is full could not deliver, ( we have a weather proof large box for oversized packages) .
Our previous carrier placed all our packages on the porch out of the weather no matter the size. These people have government jobs that they seem to know they cant get fired or replaced. I dread Christmas when packages start really coming .
