Any packages go in a bigger compartment below or at our door.</p> <p>Since we'll be gone for awhile I worry abOut the accumulation of mail, or if a package gets left on our doorstep.</p> <p>We talked about asking our neighbor across the street to get our mail for us, but we've only met her a few times.</p> <p>What would/did you do about mail on vacation? </p>
