We're lucky that our USPS man delivers our mail by coming through our gate onto our property. :-) My Dad worked out a deal years ago (he could charm the birds out of the trees and I miss him) with the mail delivery and it has continued on. No missing packages. My son...not so lucky as he lives in a downtown area, so I have packages sent to dear retired friends who are retired. Then he has to go get them, but at least the goodies are safe. And the friends always get some pecans as a thank you.
