Yeah, but of late FedEx (& maybe UPS) have a deal with USPS for smallish items where they deliver it to the local USPS station & USPS delivers it to the mailbox.
A case of hard-drives from Egghead still comes FedEx all the way to my front porch, but a paperback book I ordered from the local Barnes & Noble got handed off to USPS *AND* I got it in my mailbox on Saturday, rather than having to wait until Monday for FedEx to deliver it.

Technically, in the US, your mailbox is only for USPS use. Any other use is illegal. I know, it's a pain, but that is what the US Congress has enacted (probably before I was born and I'm in my 8th decade). Larry in Dallas -----Original Message----- From: Jostein Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2016 3:48 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Nuts to Fedex Got a text message from FedEx about imminent delivery before the week-end. So I called them and said they could drop it in the mailbox, it's just a calendar after all. They acknowledged and noted. Then today there was a sticker on my door about failed delivery. Well. Summer holidays are over up here in the Frostpit, so I called them to book new delivery at work address. That will probably turn out better, but nuts to them for not dropping it in the mailbox. Jostein Who had a failed delivery by UPS a week ago, but that's water under the bridge.
