"I thought it was a little humorous but it was a little like, 'let's respect each other,'" the homeowner told KOMO-TV.
The woman said the local postmaster visited her home to apologize in person.

A USPS spokesman said carriers are told never to throw packages.
"They are to dismount the vehicle and place packages safely on a porch or at a location specified by the customer," spokesman Ernie Swanson said. "The Postal Service takes the customer's complaint very seriously and a full, robust investigation is underway. We will make contact with the customer regarding this issue and have addressed it with our employee."
