“NOW Amazon is in cahoots w/USPS and I have to trek a block up the street and hump my stuff (sometimes bulky/heavy stuff) back home, rain or hotshine!”

What are you talking about?

Some areas (including most newly built neighborhoods) have neighborhood mailboxes.

I’ll be darned,I forgot about those -—the one pictured could only handle packages for 4 residents.

That looks like my neighborhood mailbox set-up. I order a lot from amazon. When they ship UPS, FedEX, or OnTrac, it’s delivered to my doorstep. When they ship USPS, it’s delivered to my neighborhood’s mailbox bank (as in your photo) and I have to go a few blocks to retrieve it. Not nearly as convenient when there’s a couple feet of snow on the ground. I order less from amazon than I used to because of this, especially in the winter.

Never seen those before. I would hate that. Of course we have no new neighborhoods in my town.
