What happens when your package is too big for the mail slot?
Do you just try to shove it in anyway and risk damaging it or do you make other arrangements for delivery?

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.

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

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.
