[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 3743872, member: 45773"] I know that. Like I said, I looked up the regulations and placed it accordingly. I even went to the post office to ask about the box placement and was told someone would come out to check on it and let us know if there was a problem...that was on Feb 3rd. No one ever mentioned an issue with the box placement. The carrier delivered mail to the box at least twice on different days in the week or two after the box was installed (we're not getting a lot there because we haven't changed our address yet). The carrier also came up to the house with a package and never said anything about the box placement. It's now been in place for 6 weeks and it's on a flat, very lightly traveled county road. We went to the Ada PO last Thur and inquired about the issue. We were told by the clerk at the desk there was no mail being held but he would leave a note for the carrier to look into the issue. The day after, Friday last week, there was a note in the box saying the box needed to be moved to a flagged location about 30 feet away, on the same side of the road, on the other side of the current driveway. No explanation why. Now keep in mind I placed it in a location where the carrier could easily pull in to back up and turn around...on the edge of a previous driveway location. We're at the end of the route on that road so I knew he'd be turning around there. My wife called and talked to the postmaster today. He told us the issue was the box needed to be moved because the carriers are not allowed to back up. He also said our mail was being held. This makes absolutely no sense for several reasons: 1) The carrier has to back up to turn around either way whether at the old driveway or the new driveway. 2) Why is it the carrier can put a note in the box telling us to move the box but can't put the mail in there? 3) Why was it safe to use the current location for delivering the mail he did deliver? 4) If there was a problem why did it take 6 weeks for someone to let us know there was a problem? I'm not bashing the PO just to bash the PO. As I said...the USPS is generally my preferred method of delivering things. But I detest bureaucrats who can't give me a reasonable answer or assist with solving a problem that should be easily solved. Trust me... Those of you in the delivery business, the PO specifically, don't know what it's like to get bashed by the public. Try being a cop for 15 years and let me know which is worse. Everyone and their dog is an expert on law enforcement because they watched COPs and Live PD. [/QUOTE]
