Under what conditions can a mail carrier refuse to deliver the mail?

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. If a dog is loose on a street that has all porch mailboxes they can refuse to set foot on the entire street. (i.e. neighbors dog could result in a person not getting mail.) Basically carriers can deliver whenever told by a boss any hour of the day or night and is required by law to deliver every letter until done even if it takes past midnite. They can only not deliver due to extreme illness or a safety issue.


Can a mail carrier refuse to deliver mail if the mailbox is to low or high?

Yes, there are standards for maintaining a mail box. Part of the reason is that there is a certain height that makes delivery possible from a vehicle so they do not need to get out of their truck to put the mail in your box.


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.


Does the post office have to deliver mail to your house?

Yes, if its a safety issue If there is a vehicle blocking the curbside mailbox, the postman is not obligated to exit his vehicle and will usually not deliver mail that day. Sorry, this is not correct. From the USPS web site: Mailbox blockage by a vehicle may also prevent the delivery of mail. According to our policy, the city or rural carrier should get of the vehicle to make delivery if the mailbox is temporarily blocked by a vehicle. However, if the carrier continually experiences a problem serving curbline or rural boxes where the customer is able to control on-street parking, the postmaster may withdraw delivery service.

Can a mail carrier refuse to deliver mail after a hurricane destroyed the mailbox?

Yes, although it isn't your fault the box got destroyed, it isn't the carriers either. Mail has to be delivered to a US Postal Service approved mail box They would be remiss in their duties if they just set it someplace. Carriers get payed and evaluated on the time for their work, which does not include dismounting the vehicle to deliver mail in some cases.

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 a mail carrier refuse to deliver to the whole street because of one incident with my dog?

The US postal service does allow carriers to suspend delivery when there is an immediate threat. The fact that there has been even one "incident" with your dog means the carrier is fully justified in regarding the animal, if loose, as an "immediate threat." You will have to confine your dog during delivery hours. If your dog is properly confined, then no, he's not allowed to exact revenge by continuing to refuse to deliver your mail, and if he's doing so you should contact the local postmaster. In the words of the USPS website: "Mail delivery will resume as soon as the Postal Service is confident the animal is no longer a menace."
