I live rural and get really good service from my carrier, but I ordered an Airgun from Amazon that was due on Sunday. Yes the Sunday USPS carrier delivered it, but he left it on the ground below the mailbox by the road. My regular carrier Always comes up the paved driveway and delivers by the front yard gate or front door.

I'm not complaining about USPS.Got a nice gun from Hawaii in about 3.5 days!
