Does the mail carrier have a key so small packages can be delivered into the box?

Only letters and small packages will fit. You are the o my one with a key. Our carrier will usually ring bell or drop on front porch if it won't fit in the box.

Well there are 2 keys to the box, you could give one to the mail carrier but people like FedEx and DHL wouldn't have one so I'm not sure if that would work out really.

mine did not come with a key. I just simply let the postman put it in my side opening, which I leave just a crack open..not enough for passerby to notice. My mailman's head exploded when I mentioned to him to have a key to it, though it's ok if you have a cluster of boxes like the street next door. Sorry, but the front opening is just too small for packages (it's theft resistant)

Yes. The boxes are small since the bars are small & not many come per box. It did arrive as promised.

Mine came in a small envelope, but you can request how you wish for it to be packaged.

You give them a key to the box - they open the bottom and take out your outgoing mail

It did come with a simple key, but it was not required to open it when I received mine. I believe the key was easy to find, but cannot recall whether it was on the top of the box or inside. I would not call it a "high security" key, though.

yes, to put outgoing mail and for the postman to put your incoming mail thru the slot. a key is needed to open the side door to get mail out. this is the second one we have had; it's improved over the first one. more sturdy. very nice looking mailbox. you'll like it.

I have no idea - bought the mailbox as a gift and thought it would be a great one! However, that means it has extra security if you have to use the key! That makes me happy!

Yes Saundra, it comes supplied with two keys. Not great tough looking keys, but fully functionable. Haven't had any problems with my mailbox yet at all..

The platform is very small. A package or envelope would have a hard time balancing on it I would think.

The mail carrier does not want to carry keys for customers boxes and the post office would not allow it. Can you imagine keeping track of dozens of customers keys and fumbling around with them on your 100 mile route on a snowy or rainy day? You would also need to have an extra set of keys for the assistant carrier. It just isn't practical.

There was not a key but otherwise, I am happy with it. It has the cutest travel box inside that I like.

You can have them hold the package at the Post Office do to the weather and you just pick it up. My mailman will not leave them unless someone is home to get the box.

Additional comments!: I looked up the mailbox and it seems to have a significant number of changes that address my "issues." I see that they give you three keys now and the keys look different, so maybe they can be copied more easily. Also, it shows that bottom plate in one of the side pictures and it's obvious that it could be mounted on a column. Probably likely that's how it's mounted most of the time. The issue of delivery of large packages is still there, though, as you can see from the picture with it open. I hope that's more helpful.

It came in a small cushioned, bubble type mailer, very discreet. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, when it arrives in the mail it should be the one with the US key layout.
