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

Answer 1

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.
