Yes. I live on a private dirt road that has fallen into disrepair during the winter months. I received a letter from my local post office telling me that my delivery services are suspended until the road has been graded for safe travel. Ironically that letter was delivered to my mailbox, proving that my road is drivable. Yet it was the last letter I have received since. I can't find regulations regarding what the USPS uses as guidelines to determining whether or not they will deliver mail. But I know for a fact that they can just decide one day that they no longer will deliver mail to your house.
Usually not. The regular flow of events is that all mail (from the local office) is sent to a regional sorting center, then if needed, bunched up with incoming mail from elsewhere, and returned to the local office.
Well, the guy from the post office driving his post office truck and putting mail in the mailbox was a pretty good indication that there IS mail delivery today.
Not in the US- Post Office is closed.
It was a private business in the US.
Yes your mail can stop being delivered to you via USPS, you could be told you have to have a post office box instead which would be at your cost. I am a board member for my local Vicious dogs board and we just had an incident where a mail carrier was bit.
February 21, 2011 is Presidents' Day, a federal holiday. Consequently there is no delivery of U.S. Mail on that day. Private delivery companies, however, may deliver on that day.
December 24th if you get overnight delivery..
A mail carrier can refuse to deliver mail if there are hazardous materials present, if there is no safe access to the mailbox or residence, or if there are aggressive animals on the property. Additionally, if the recipient has explicitly requested that a certain sender's mail not be delivered, the carrier may adhere to that request.
Where one checks their mail depends on where their mail is delivered. For most individuals, mail is delivered to a mailbox or other receptacle at their home. However, some rural deliveries are delivered to a receptacle located at a nearby intersection or other centralized location, while others rent a box at the Post Office or a business that takes delivery of mail for clients. A few very rural areas do not provide home mail delivery, the recipient must pick up mail from the Post Office or its designated rural delivery location.
Yes, there are standards for maintaining a mail box. Part of the reason is that there is a certain height that makes delivery possible from a vehicle so they do not need to get out of their truck to put the mail in your box.
Not if you live in northport ny worst post office ever!
No, the post office is not open on Columbus day.
