What happens when your package is too big for the mail slot?

[taterguy]

Do you just try to shove it in anyway and risk damaging it or do you make other arrangements for delivery?

1. Locking- no XXX threads!

[taterguy]

5. Your post is insensitive to DUers who aren't lucky enough to have a porch

Shame

18. i don't have one either. nor do I have a mail slot.

if it doesn't fit in the box, they leave it between the two doors.

4. Take it to the post office or hand it to a delivery person.

If receiving the package, the deliverer should either leave a note on your door or in your mailbox telling you how to pick up your package.

7. My husband says

whenever he delivers a really big package he prefers to use special delivery.

9. Something to lube up the slot.

11. See if there is a larger slot on the backside.

:evilgrin:

[datasuspect]

12. now you have me intrigued

and that is a rare thing.

[LostInAnomie]

16. Well, with the slot on the backside you have to be a little more gentle with your package.

You have to take it slow and ease it in there. It also usually helps if the post office box is really relaxed and has a few drinks in it. :P

[SPKrazy]

13. Try To Loosen The SLot

lube it up if necessary

if still doesn't go in

then you may have to make other arrangements :(

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Dude please! You're not fooling anybody!

Quit bragging!

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. You FedEx your package to me.

:P :rofl: :hi:

[taterguy]

23. So you have extensive package and mail slot expertise?

That's good to know

[bamacrat]

19. I take my time and work it in slowly.

As long as my package isnt damaged its all good.

20. return to sender?

[Inchworm]

21. Mail slot? oh no!

I don't have one

:D

[S n o w b a l l]

22. You try to stuff it in anyway....

I mean, I'd rather have my package half in than to have to go looking for it at the post office.
