US Postal Regulations are very explicit and very detailed as to what, how, and under what circumstances mail pickup and delivery is performed to mailboxes, and even go into the description, the height and the acceptable location of the boxes themselves. Your best bet is to simply call your local post office or postmaster and ask about your particular situation. The chances are that the carrier is within their authority to refuse service. Their goal is to deliver it and get rid of it, not to keep it collecting and piling up in the post office.

If a mail carrier feels that his safety is in danger the least bit, He or She can refuse delivery. This means that if a person has threatened a carrier they can refuse delivery. If a home has a loose dog they can refuse delivery if they feel the dog may bite. If a homes' porch or steps are icy or slippery they can refuse to deliver.

Yes, you are allowed to refuse to be covered by the employer's plan. They may ask you for proof of coverage elsewhere, which you may or may not have.

Can a mail carrier refuse to deliver mail because of a dog?

Mail carriers are not required to deliver mail if there is an "immediate threat" to the carrier, mail security, or postal property.I don't know what a "pincher bug" is, exactly, so I can't say whether or not they would constitute an "immediate threat". However, if the carrier believes they're an immediate threat, they're within their rights to opt not to deliver your mail until the situation is corrected.


Can the post office carrier refuse to deliver mail if mailbox is blocked?

Depending on the district you are in. Some districts allows the mail carrier to pass up a blocked box when others require them to dismount and deliver to the blocked box. also keep in mind that the mail carrier has on average 700 houses they have to deliver to each day. just a few dismounts at blocked boxes can get the carrier in trouble if it makes them late back to the post office.

Therefore, they are enttiled to auto insurance premium payment.
