Seriously, I did. My wife bought this ugly ass mailbox 2 years ago and I've been putting off installing because it will probably only hold up for a couple of years before it breaks or some peckerwood smashes it, I had to pour a small concrete slap to install it, and mostly because it's just plain ugly.
Well the nagging finally got to me so I mixed up 10- 60 lb bags of concrete and poured a 4" deep 12 square foot slab and after it cured I mounted the box. Hey! Keep your minds out of the gutter.
Here's the problem, the slot in the front is too small to receive any package wider than 1 1/2" and I can't ship anything from home because there's no place to put sent items other than envelopes. I removed the lock from the side and replaced it with a simple stainless cabinet knob, I'm hoping that the mailman won't mind opening it from the side and placing larger packages there.
What do they do with packages that are too large, do they just leave some kind of pickup ticket?
