[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2536896, member: 109917"] They drive what appears to be government vans, at least they do not have license plates on them. The thing that torques me is the 50ft rule, as explained by our local postmaster, the driver is limited to 50ft from the mailbox for signature or oversized packages. Since our driveway is 1.1 miles, it could be 5000ft and I still wouldn't get it. I have to go to the post office now to pick up anything that doesn't fit inside the mailbox. Combine that with the new oversize surcharges at 22" and 30" and I find it easier to ship either FedEx or UPS although some of their rules are idiotic, especially if you want insurance to pay off in the worst case scenario.
