Falcon Gal: We don't get mail delivered to our door drop. although every house has one. It's been a custom but a useless one to install them or fake faceplates that look like one.
Our box is out on the road - cantalevered out so the mail carrier can reach out the right window and pickup or deliver as needed. It's a very poor paying ,difficult, and dangerous job - several carriers are killed every year -getting sideswiped by passing cars. Actually , this is a Sniping tale, With AS I sniped 250 copies of a Kenny Rogers CD. Which I give to anyone who contributes anything to our
food pantry, clothing etc. Our next project is to help get our mail carrier another car as her compact can't legaly or safely carry all her kids. It can barely carry the mail - so back to mail boxes.
In town the mail comes to the door BUT you DON'T know your neighbors =like we still do here in the country. & as Martha used to say "Its a Good Thing"
