I know it doesn’t help but it could be a lot worse. Amazon’s outsourcing of deliveries have an infinitely worse track record. Think Uber for mail. It’s horrible. While getting your packages at the street is indeed messed up (package theft opportunity anyone?) at least they are getting it to your house. I’ve had three packages (1 which was over $2K in computer equipment) delivered to an unreasonably different address across the street and down TWO BLOCKS!
For the most part, USPS has been a great, reliable, trustworthy service and I’m glad we have it. Sucks you’ve had some friction with them though. :( Might I suggest taping a post-it note to the front of your mailbox stating “Package deliveries ^” (pointing towards your front door)? I don’t know if it would help or be considered rude by the postal delivery folk or whatnot but just an idea.
