@da Doctah said:@boomzilla said:The problem is that the rear opening, where the carrier inserts mail, is slightly smaller than the front opening due to the door. Before the cluster boxes had to be replaced in response to vandalism, mine was just the opposite.Which means that the box of checks (yes, it was a few years ago) was easy enough for the carrier to insert from the back, but couldn't be removed from my side. I solved this by cutting off the visible face of the carton, extracting its contents, then crushing the carton to yank it through the opening.I've wondered on more than one occasion if I shouldn't have left the empty carton in the box for the carrier to deal with the next day. Great. You post this, and all of a sudden, I have a package stuck in the mailbox. It's a 7" case stuck in a < 7" opening. I've left notes saying "Hey, this big package that's been sitting here for days, maybe you want to move this to the package slot?" to no avail. I had to phone the helpdesk. I repeat, I had to phone the helpdesk of a GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION.I now officially hate you. You caused this with your forum post. Thanks a lot. (THAT WAS SARCASM. I NOT THANK YOU!)
