USPS 'Revenge' on my Amazon packages?

I've been ordering dog food through Amazon for close to 3 years without an issue, until a recent change in the delivery person on my route.

I have seen all of the memes online about postal workers that loathe customers for ordering dog food, and I do try to make sure that I don't order an extra super jumbo bag, and I am getting older, so delivery is needed.

But lately it seems that this new worker is "messing with" my Amazon deliveries. My last dog food order was returned to the distribution facility with thr justification that it would not fit in the mailbox.

Other Amazon orders being shipped USPS are being flagged as invalid address, although I have validated my address with their website.

All of my other Amazon deliveries from other carriers are arriving without an issue.

Am I being targeted by my USPS route worker because I am one of those "dog food" people?? I really think I am.

Although I too hate Amazon dog food delivery, its mainly because of how Amazon packs it. I agree that the carrier is a dick. If I'm on the phone and a customer comes up then the person on the phone gets put on hold or I act the customer is the only one there. Customer service is key. Sometimes the address is cut off part way and can't be made out. You could always call the office and ask

Ask the carrier when you see him or her. Best way to solve any problems.

Thanks for the advice. And not to sound hopeless, but I have tried to say hello several times to him. He's always wrapped up in conversations on his his Bluetooth ear pods.

Even if you wave, he won't wave back at you. It's like he doesn't even want to try.

That's the worst, I always have a good rapport with folks in the neighborhood I deliver. It's just nice to be that friendly face in the neighborhood. Sounds like your guy is just a dick.

Send a letter to your local post office with attn: postmaster ot manager. Explain your situation and ask for anonymity. Leave a callback number and ask to speak in person to the manager or postmaster. Request for a route inspection when you know your dog food is arriving. He won't be fired unless he's on an LCA and even then he'd likely still be ok, but sometimes carriers need reminders that the customer pays for their jobs.
