2014: I exercised the right to have my mailbox relocated (.4-mile) to the junction of my property line and the public road. The box would then be within ½ mile of my house requiring the carrier to deliver packages (too big for the box) to the door.
2017: My neighbor (since moved) had a confrontation with the carrier by blocking his vehicle – violations of federal and state laws. The carrier did not report this to law enforcement – only to his superior – who then punished me by stopping all mail deliveries until I moved my box back to its previous location. He claimed the .4-mile portion of the road was unsafe, although UPS, FedEx, other delivery vehicles have never stopped making deliveries to the door.
2024: I was permitted to return the box to the property line, only to be forced again to return it to the distant location. I filed suit in Federal District Court charging the USPS treatment of me was arbitrary and capricious and in violation of my constitutional rights. The Cincinnati Enquirer covered my 10-year battle in a front-page storyfeature article 18 Dec 2024 .
Postal employee problems? I’d like to hear from you.
