They'd have to be lockable after something is placed in them (mail security), what happens in another courier has delivered something beforehand? how big would they have to be given the huge variety in sizes of parcels?

I mean on the actual front door sorry. Not external wall letterboxes which aren't secure but we still use them.

Posties don't break letterboxes. If a letterbox breaks when a posty is putting something through it, it probably wasn't fit for the purpose.
Anyhoo, it's the home owners responsibility.
