Expanded Delivery Options

I get delivered from unmarked and rented trucks now, not from the branded store trucks and vans. For a while, Amazon was using people in personal cars to fill in.

Today I got a delivery from a commercial Trucking company (Hunt) doing local work for a big box store.

We have an HOA rule the prohibits home businesses because 50 years ago, people feared a home business would have lots of clients cars, trucks and deliveries. Today, almost every other house in the neighborhood is getting something delivered.

I use a private post office - they seem more interested in being helpful.

Clustered Mail boxes are becoming targets for thieves more often now, even in the rural areas. And once your mail box is broken, you usually have to pickup mail at the post office. They take years to fix broken mail boxes and the rarely purées the mailbox bandits. If you still have mail brought to your house, you're very lucky.
