USPS delivery times ?

[HI_Someday]

This is a new one. I live in a house, 20 feet from the street. No fence or gate, dogs, construction or any other impediment to the mailbox attached to the front of my house. In clear view of the street. Same mailbox USPS has been dropping mail in for years. Now I get this from the on line tracking page: "No Access To Delivery Location". Interesting...

 

Maybe the USPS worker saw a stray dog?  When I was a driver we weren't allowed to risk a bite.  Dog bites was #1 cause of worker's comp claims.   Maybe "potentially dangerous animal" isn't an option to select for tracking information so "no access" is the next best thing?

I used to have a neighbor who would let his intact male dog roam and I was always yelling at him to fix it but the time the postal worker put a note in my box telling me the neighbors dog was preventing me from getting my mail every day I shoved it into his face and told him his dog had passed "inconvenience" to "problem" and I was going to start calling animal control every time I saw it out.  That finally fixed it.

That is possible. Neighbor has 2 very small dogs and I've never seen them running loose, but maybe a dog from somewhere else out roaming. What I didn't mention is we also didn't get regular mail delivery Friday or Saturday either. Hardly a day goes by (except Sunday) that we don't get something, even if it's just junk. Dog scenerio possible, but I think more likely it is the recent changes at the post office put in effect by the new Post Master General.
