Zero obligation to get out unless there is a package to deliver to the porch. Seen a few that do on a once in awhile issue but many use it as an excuse.
It’s your obligation to keep the approach to the mailbox clear.

It was worth remarking on so….Quoting a post from Marchactually there is no requirement to have a mailbox if you don't want mail. They will discard the bulk and return any first class mail with a no receptacle endorsement. Problem solved.
Maybe not in your day but the Amazon Sunday today is insane. Seen carriers make 2 trips.
The PO-603 rural carrier handbook clearly states a carrier is to dismount to serve a temporarily blocked box.
Sure there are a lot of rules that get ignored, every carrier I rode with said if it’s blocked, move on.
The original comment was directed to a retired city carrier. Unlike rural carriers who are paid evaluated route time on both light and heavy days, city carriers are paid by the hour. They earn approximately 2 minutes for every package over 2 pounds outside their normal daily base volume.
How long have you been retired? Sure nothing has changed since then. You keep defending a job you haven’t worked for in awhile.
Like I told you the other day, 12 years. Are you just going thru old posts and reviving your USPS hatred tonight? You had poor training and were done wrong by management. The rules I mentioned above remain exactly the same. That’s part of the problem, USPS hasn’t adapted to change and how employees are compensated Is one area that needs to be. It would be productivity based if I could change it. Good employees would make more and the slugs would be fired for not meeting productivity goals. A man can dream I guess.
The po-603 for rural carriers and the m-41 for city carriers remains unchanged. I’m sure other areas of the USPS have changed quite a bit. Compensation methods need to.
