access=private does not mean NO, NEVER EVER. It means you need
individual permission. This permission can be explicit (like a letter of
invitation or a security badge) but it can also be implicit for
"classes" of legitimate things like delivering goods you have ordered.
When you entered your address on the order you gave implicit permission
for the driver to access that address (as far as that is necessary for
the execution of his job - knocking on your front door is OK but taking
a tour of your back garden is not). 

If you try to evict a postman (trying to deliver a letter) from your
front path you won't get very far in court and you run the risk of
getting blacklisted in the postal system so you have to collect all your
mail from the post office in future.
