Does US Postal Service deliver oversized packages to your private road?

I installed a US Mail box out on the main road recently and filled out a form for delivery.

It stated that they would delivery oversized packages up to 0.5 miles on reasonably maintained private roads.

Well I get nothing but a door tag in the mail box on anything that won't fit in the mailbox and have to pick it up at the post office.

I was not sure if that was a local policy but I looked it up and it's a cross country US Postal Service policy. And I see lots of similar complaints.

Curious what your local post office does.

UPS and FedEx delivery to my porch no problem and use them when ever possible.
