YOUR IDEA OR CHANGE Mailbox size. The average small mailbox is too small in many cases.
WHY DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT The PO in the next few weeks is going to be putting a big push to get back the parcel business they gave away. The parcel time standard is already far too low and when volume comes back, and they get the extra parcel business, more boxes will be too small. Box sizes need to come into this century. Maybe we cannot make people replace their small boxes, but the regulations on the sizes could be changed, and the manufacturers can be required to produce larger ons.

Thank you
Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has..

I inherited a Park and Loop from a city route.  I walk almost a mile a day delivering mail to "mailboxes" at the back door.  Some of these are tiny letterboxes with a opening at the top  about 1x5 inches.  I can't even get a phone bill or Readers Digest in them without folding.  Forget about getting Martha Stewart Living in.  Then there are the door slots behind the storm door.  Which part of your body do you use to open these--one hand has your working mail, one hand has the customers mail, your foot is holding the storm door open...

I'll vote for any increase in mailbox size.
