Our first USPS notice was
where to put the mailbox, and how high it should be from the ground. The road is required to be "suitable for USPS vehicles".
Since our dirt road changes its surface from year to year
our mailbox was installed at the end of the town's (mostly) paved roadway. Nonetheless, large packages are sometimes carried down our steep hill and delivered.
This isn't always the case, as a paper card will direct you to picking up the parcel at Wolfeboro's USPS office. The notice has a small checkable box for "re-deliver", which can be checked to "re-deliver" the item.
Check with your carrier. Our carrier can sometimes be seen hurtling past our mailboxes to the very end of our bumpy dirt road. (There seems to be some flexibility with individual carriers).
