Residents should note that around the holidays, mail carriers such as Amazon and FedEx contract independent carriers to help deliver items during peak season. These independent carriers typically drive their own vehicles that have no affiliation markers. Residents should be mindful of these individuals who are oftentimes mistaken as thieves when dropping off packages on behalf of carriers or delivery companies.
