Suspicious mail delivery

Doorbell rang today. I looked out the window and there was a white car parked on the street. I answered the door to find a woman in her late forties maybe fifties. She was delivering the mail, which was express from Canada. I asked why she was not driving the typical USPS vehicle and she said he was helping the post office because there was a large amount of mail. I signed for the package because I always have to sign for xpress Canada. I'm not afraid to sign anyway because there is nothing illegal about signing for packages of which the contents are unbeknownst to myself. I haven't opened it, just in case. I have been doing some research and found this on the USPS website:

Or I will just quote what is said:

Contract Delivery Service - Contracting Opportunities Contract Delivery Service is a contractual agreement between the U.S. Postal Service and an individual or company for the delivery and collection of mail. The typical service required at the local Post Officeâ„¢ will involve sorting mail for the route, driving to the route, delivering mail to specified addresses, picking up collection mail, and returning to the Post Office. Each contract includes a delivery schedule, a complete route description, and a description of basic responsibilities. The contract route will operate six days per week, Monday through Saturday, and does not include holidays. The carrier is required to use their own vehicle for mail delivery service. The average route will require approximately four to eight hours per day to complete, depending on the size of the route. All suppliers interested in doing business with the U.S. Postal Service must register their company in our Supplier Registration eSourcing System.

After having read that, it seems there should be nothing to worry about.
