This does not compute. They have the legal obligation to deliver to all addresses. Do you have an address that has been assigned by your county? Have you registered the new address with your USPS? Your mailbox might not be at your drive way, or on your front step, but a mailbox cluster in a central location. From the USPS (emphasis mine): > We’re proud to provide secure, reliable and affordable service to every address in the United States, plus its territories and its military and diplomatic installations worldwide.

The only situation I know of where the usps will refuse to deliver is if there is some sort of danger, eg a biting dog. A neighbor had to get a P.O. Box because of this.

Guessing: Perhaps his residence wasn't an address.

  My residence was an address. It was a house with a house number on a named road.

> Do you have an address that has been assigned by your county? Have you registered the new address with your USPS? Yes, it's a hard address which the fire department, for example, can use. And the USPS knew about it. > Your mailbox might not be at your drive way, or on your front step, but a mailbox cluster in a central location. My mailbox was in a post office miles away from my house, which I had to pay for. I've since moved.

That computes for me when I lived in a rural area. A lot of commenters came to tout this: > They have the legal obligation to deliver to all addresses. Do you have an address that has been assigned by your county? While that might be true, in practicality it was not. It took me months at two different locations to get USPS to stop screwing things up or to give me access to a cluster. I think a lot of people here have had great experiences with USPS and are unable to imagine geographies where the system doesn't work too well.
