HUDSON, FL (WFLA/CNN) - A nudist community in Florida is picking a fight with the postal service.

The nudists said one carrier refuses to deliver mail inside their community because people are not wearing clothes.

Residents behind the gated community in Eden RV Resort and City Retreat, a single-family home community, said the problem has gone on for months, and only every time one particular carrier is working.

Leonard Rusin was tired of not getting important packages delivered to his home.

"There's a postal creed and it doesn't say anything about them not coming to nudist resorts,” Rusin said. “I pay for a service, I expect that service."

Rusin is a disabled veteran and receives medication in the mail.

The last time he didn't get his mail, it was from the IRS.

"I've come up to, if you're given a job, you gotta do it, 100 percent, not because you don't want to," Rusin said.

Resident Eileen Hudak said the regular mail carrier has no issues delivering inside the park.

"It offends me that she does not do her job because if she can't do her job, then she shouldn't be having this job," Hudak said.

There are mailboxes outside the gate, and that works just fine for envelopes, but the issue is when packages don't fit inside.

Most carriers deliver boxes to the park office or to a residence.

But this one carrier will not and supervisors have told residents that's her right.

"We don't get the mail that day and sometimes the mail is important, like our neighbor, it's his medication sometime, he can't wait until Monday or Tuesday to go and get it," Hudak said.
