It sounds like Flipper has an oversized mailbox, but maybe needs something REALLY big.

Yeah, we occasionally get that here as well. It used to happen more ofter with the Amazon delivery folks, but apparently, Amazon has mostly fixed that issue.
I think even with a shipping container as a mailbox they would find some excuse.

Got the story of the cal they made to my wife yesterday.

They originally would not deliver because of the dogs. The same dogs we have had for several years, but that doesn't matter. Thing is, the dogs were in and when my wife mentioned that they went on through the list of excuses but since my wife called the national 800 number there was nothing the local PO could do if she did not agree to go pick it up and she would not agree to pick it up. So with a huff they said they would deliver it.

Both of our work places would not be great places to have stuff shipped to.

I like the idea of the personal delivery drone.

I also like the idea of someone just doing their job. If they don't like to get our of their car when it isn't sunny and 70*, they should look at a new career.
