I just talked with our postal carrier a couple of weeks ago about this issue. We have the largest mailbox allowed by the United States Postal Service. Due to sudden rain squalls in our area, the mail carrier brings Amazon boxes to our house and puts them on the back carport instead of leaving them on top of the mailbox. He said Amazon boxes are made just large enough to NOT fit into the mailboxes...by one or two inches. Well, he should know. If Amazon wants to play with the post office, they could help a bit by making the boxes a standard size that would fit in the mailboxes. I am a Prime customer, but this information has me rethinking things. Probably I will stay with Prime for many reasons, but it would be nice if they would adjust their business practices to help a bit.
