you can put a hold on your mail at the post office. Order it, put a hold on your mail about a week ahead from expected delivery for a good bit. Go to office to pick up. Make sure you have correct ID to pick up.

Great advice right there for a one-off.

Ship a glitter bomb. Like those used on porch pirates.
Make sure it can’t be repacked. It’s not like he can complain.

Would I just go to the post office and tell them to put my mail on hold?

Back when UPS used to break half of my fragiles - it almost looked deliberate at some point - I shipped a couple of glass jars full of deer urine concentrate in unprotected cardboard boxes with large FRAGILE stickers taped to them. That stuff is the most unpleasant, pungent stuff you never smelled, and the stench is really hard to shift. Needless to say, my packages never arrived

I have a rather long driveway and despite the mail ladies driving a Jeep they never liked even entering it. (There are three houses in the drive one right and the front and two further down) So they’ve always just forced the mail into the mailbox rather than come down even the slightest of driveway. I had a package with fragile written over nearly the entire thing forced into my mailbox so hard that it nearly came out of the ground when I pulled it out. Thank god it wasn’t actually fragile.
Don’t thank me. Buy a book of stamps when you are there to support them.

I prefer supporting the individual postal workers myself. A friend of mine told me how much he was paid for the rounds he had to do, and it’s frighteningly low. And it’s getting worse, as the rounds keep getting longer, and the workload is increasing as people buy more and more things online.
So whenever the mailman shows up on my doorstep to deliver a package, I tip them 2 euros. And I make sure I give them a couple tenners on new year’s day.
Side note while discussing it in my CS class discord, I might’ve just indirectly convinced one of my advisors to get an implant.

Haha, no need.
But I watched the animated video and they are embedding nuclear power plants inside diamonds and are asking for money…
Sounds legit
