Wrong. With permissions, they will deliver parcels to the private area
specified by that permission.

You're WRONG! And everything you subsequently said is pure BS.

turn that finger around mister....

General delivery rural mail carriers do NOT enter private property,
not even for delivery of certified mail... they will insert a "pick-up
at PO" notification card into the rural mailbox... the pick up card
typically won't say what, just pick-up at PO. USPS rules are the
same in all 50 states. Dave, you are a certifiable idiot.

yes, they do enter private property, they drive right up to the house
and beep the horn. for people with disabilities, they may even go to the
door.

and mailboxes are NOT always beside the roadway. as dave said, in
certain cases, such as elderly or disabled, the physician can issue a
letter to the mail carrier and subsequent office, and request that the
box be placed closer to the door of the home, in an area of the driveway
that the mail carrier can still have access to from the car.

links don't always prove anything.....on this one, it ultimately depends
on the carrier and what they do.
