A retired East Tennessee couple is grateful to the U.S. Postal Service, now, after it agreed to deliver letters and parcels to the couple’s new mailbox just in front of their home instead of 900 feet away on the rural road.

Originally, a local post office refused to deliver mail to their box, as the couple was first told it’s too “inconvenient” for the mail truck to go up their driveway.

For homes in older neighborhoods, only 28% still receive mail delivered to their door, according to the U.S. Postal Service. WATE Knoxville
