Exactly where is your mailed delivered?
Mailbox by the curb, attached to your house near the front door, a central pick up spot for all the homes on your street, lobby of your apartment/condo building, collect it at the post office, or whatever.
I have a mailbox at the end of my driveway.
When I was growing up in the city, we had a slot with a hinged metal flap on the front door for mail. The delivery person would knock or ring the doorbell for larger packages. If no one answered the door, the package was usually left with an at home neighbor.
When my parents first moved to a newly built subdivision, we were one of the first families there. No at home mail delivery for about 4 months until more people moved in. We had to drive to the post office.
