How can I pick up a package at the post office instead of them bringing the package to my house?

Question

I ordered a book online twice and the post office said they put it in my mailbox but it wasn't there. Now I am planning to buy it for the third time but instead of the USPS bringing it to my home I would like to pick it up at the post office instead. How would I go about doing that?

Answer 1

Inform your Post Office, in writing, that you do not want any packages left at your door. You can not specify any packages from just certain places, it is an all or nothing proposition.

Answer 2

Call your local delivery office. Ask to speak with a delivery supervisor. You can make special arrangements.
