He was probably frightened to push it in any further in fear of a dog being on the other side, and forgot to take out his little red pushing stick :wink: :wink:

it is not a letter box on a door - it is a lockable box attached to a wall by the look of it

I have a few of these boxes on my walk with beware of the dog stickers on the gates.

I just p739 them as I won't go through the gate as there has to be a reason why the box is outside the gate :O)

This is really terrible, everyone knows that all you have to do with amazon packet/letters such a this, is feel the edge for the true width, and then fold down the edge. If this had been done, it would have fit through the letterbox no probs IMO :D

OK not good ( :wink: ) - but in fairness to the postie ...

What is the point of nailing a chocolate fireguard on your house wall in these heady days of "changes in mail" - I would love to get all of the designers of these f**king useless metal 'post boxes' in one room and drop a grenade in ...

So P&L will help with these "changes in mail" ? - not while customers persist in buying these totally useless pieces of metal - you (customer) order parcels - YOU (customer) make a bit of an effort as well ...

There's not much I hate about the job (apart from "hide the docket sheet"; getting screwed over by lazy f/t preppers; pointless "sign fors"; "hunt the pouch box keys") - but these metal boxes REALLY take the mick :arrrghhh
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Alternatively you remove the item from the packaging and place in letterbox.
It is normally only the packaging that is preventing first time delivery (and that's what Moya wants)
And you can have a good chuckle when the emeritus professor is buying spanking literature :shhhhh
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
