A tiny mailbox that can’t fit all of your Amazon packages is more than just frustrating for mail carriers — it can also make it harder for your packages to be delivered safely.
So if you have not replaced your mailbox in a while, the United States Postal Service is suggesting you upgrade your mailbox to avoid delivery problems.
While replacing rusted hinges or remounting loose posts will help ensure safe package safety, people should also consider upgrading their mailbox so that it can hold more packages.
“Today’s newer mailboxes are wider and taller to accommodate delivery of items you’ve ordered online and reduce the need for notices left and trips to the Post Office to retrieve a package,” the USPS said in an online press release from May 6.
