Why is this thing electronic at all? Why isn't it just a purely mechanical system where when you get a package, they drop the key to the big package-sized lockbox in your little letter-sized mailbox?
- vinay427 9y agoThis is what the USPS, Canada Post, and some other postal services do in community mailboxes. The only problem is when someone forgets to pickup a package as the box is rendered unusable until they do, which can be a challenge with only a few package boxes for every 5-10 mailboxes.
- krallja 9y agoMost US apartment mailboxes are locked with a key, so the USPS is the only one who can leave a package key for you. UPS and FedEx cannot legally open your mailbox, either, even if it doesn't have a lock.
