Elsa and Angelo Tartaggia will receive mail to their home address for the first time this week.
For years the retired couple have collected their mail from Wollert post office, as have other residents living on Boundary, Epping, Lehmanns, Andrews, Bodycoats roads and half the people of Harvest Home Road, who were not serviced by Australia Post.
Last July, operators of Wollert post office decided to hand back their licence and Australia Post was unable to find another local business to take on the post.
That forced Wollert residents to travel to Mernda to collect their mail, a change that upset locals, many of whom are retired or elderly.
Boundary Road resident Pat Micellota was among them and took his grievances to federal McEwan MP Rob Mitchell.
“Mernda is a long way for elderly residents to travel,” Mr Micellota said.
“It wasn’t an acceptable solution.”
He was not the only resident to get on the blower to Mr Mitchell, who quickly took heed and contacted Australia Post to find a solution.
Residents were then surveyed about the type of mail delivery they preferred. Sixty-five per cent were in favour of home delivery, so Australia Post agreed to introduce the service, and to expand into some areas for the first time.
Australia Post is now urging residents to confirm they have letterboxes in place this week by contacting the Epping delivery manager on 13 13 18.
A spokeswoman said letterboxes must be accessible to delivery drivers.
Residents can also continue to collect their mail at Mernda post office.
