What do postal workers do with packages that won't fit in someone's mailbox?

I am going to order a vinyl, as in a record,and a couple of other things offline and I know it won’t fit in my mailbox. I have a long driveway blocked by a gate. I doubt that they would come up to the house to deliver it, and one time my mom told me that when someone has a package that is too big the post office just sends a piece of paper to the person saying that there stuff there at the post office, but I don’t know if either are correct…

If anybody knows anything about this and could give me some info that’d be pretty splendiferous and much appreciated. :) Thanks.

Answer #1

Well usually when we get a package the post truck guy delivers it. If we’re not home they’ll leave a note on the door and we’ll have to pick it up from the airport where it came from. This is Aus though, your mum is probably right.

Answer #2

Yeah if we miss a package or it’s too big for the mailbox we get a note saying to pick it up at the post office

Answer #3

Usually they would just leave it at your house, but since you have a gate, they will leave a note to either come pick it up, or they will try again another time.

Answer #4

the people who mail packages to my house just leave it at my door…whether im home or not

Answer #5

Our mailman knows us so he leaves it at our Backdoor. In Texas at my mothers they give her a noteto take to the post office to trade for her package
