Postal carriers are too lazy to deliver mail to your house any more.

Not ours! We have a great relationship with our mail carrier. HQ is another story.

We have a 200' driveway. For a long time, we had a deal, if there were any boxes that wouldn't fit in the mailbox, just drive up and leave everything on a table just inside the man-door for the garage. (Door is unlocked)

In winter, when they had chains or studded tires, we'd sign a waiver at the Post Office to allow them on our driveway and absolve them of any pavement damage.

A couple of years ago, that stopped. HQ in DC says no more waivers. So now, our guy WILL come up if he's not being followed, but they DO have people following them around to make sure they're NOT going up driveways!

So now, he actually hoofs the stuff up the driveway. When it's NOT him, they put the boxes in a bag and leave it by the mailbox out on the road.

We actively TRY to make it easier, and they said NO!

We make sure our guy gets a nice tip every Christmas.

You are lucky. We have a 200’ long driveway with a 20 degree hill. I plow/maintain it religiously.

Our USPS jeep driver will drive up in the summer but never in the winter. Even though they are in a 4WD jeep.
So many times we will find boxes laying in the snow by the mailbox.

On the other hand I have witnessed many times the FedEx driver WALK up my driveway and leave the package by the garage doors. Sometimes even at 8-9pm at night.
