Hang, how do you send a letter or package? I'm curious as I live in a rural area of south Alabama.

For USPS we have a letter carrier that comes by daily. They will retrieve letters and small to medium-small size packages left in our metal can sitting beside the highway. I'm not sure if I left
a note for them whether they would come into the yard to pick a package up, though they do bring oversize packages up on our front porch.

As for UPS, I think I can get them to come by for a pickup but it would be an extra charge. We do have a UPS drop-off location in town, roughly 7 miles from us, though. And, going with "TMI"...the nearest UPS Store is probably pushing 30 miles away from us.

Thank you all so much! I didn’t even know about Pirate until now. And yes, I’m not the one who’s shipping the plants out.

*Sorry for the late response; I’ve been a a bit busy lately.

Package for scheduled pickup, but never shows up.

letters we have mail drop box around the corner of the street.
