I live in a mountainous area and the Postal Service won't deliver to my house. (FedEx and UPS will). So FedEx Smart Post creates the same problem for me-- I have to go to town during Post Office hours to pick up the package (and usually wait in line). I would also pay for a UPS/FedEx only Prime. I sometimes force the issue for important or large deliveries by ordering it Next Day for $3.99 more, which ensures UPS/FedEx to my home.

That's interesting. I thought that the USPS monopoly on usage of your mailbox was premised on the fact that they don't "cherry pick" easily deliverable addresses, being required to deliver everywhere.

Can you explain more about why you don't have postal service?
