Justa a quick question. Anyone have the dimension of the chute size of the regular post box found around streets (the one with the pull down handle).  Just want to know if one of my packages will fit, otherwise I'll have to drive to the store to lodge it. Cheers

The red street box here is as follows -


390mm wide    110mm high     240mm deep


 


Keep in mind the parcel probably needs to be a little smaller for the chute to return rotate.

my recollection is that they are TT or NVBAA.  For those that are not familiar with the exacting science of POBSS (Post Office Box Shute Sizing), that would be Teeny Tiny and Not Very Big At All.

fancy that, when I replied to lyndal from my smartphone I was sure she had replied to a poster whose ID started with "mia" . . . . . . . but it is actually "mla".

 

Who would have thought that was possible?

 

Sorry mla if you are not female (or gender specific individual).

Follow up posts are often useful info for anyone who searches archives for the answer to a question more than it is for an OP. Thats the main reason for adding to an old thread. Have no doubt thats how they found the thread in the first place.
