Ha ha haAfter you get your package, you drop the key in the mail slot. If you don't then they will come and break your legs with hockey sticks.
The Posties won't put another parcel in the box until they get the key back.Update, from Canada Post:
Receiving parcels at a community mailboxIt doesn't say what happens if someone hangs onto the parcel box key. Can't they use it to keep checking for other people's parcels?
- Check your compartment for the parcel.
- If your parcel isn’t there, check your compartment for a key to one of the parcel compartments in the community mailbox.
- Find the parcel compartment that matches the number on the parcel key tag.
- Use the key to open the parcel compartment, remove your parcel, then lock it up again.
- Drop the parcel key in the outgoing mail slot of the community mailbox.

Our parcel keys lock in the tumbler when turned. I got a parcel key in my box and thought woo hoo I can get my stuff! They put the key in the wrong box. I could not get the key out and did not feel it was safe to just leave the guy’s package. He had to wait until I could get to the window. It took several days. They got grumpy with me for not getting it back right away. My response was not all together in the spirit of the season.
I think the bottom boxes are for parcels, but I don't know the particulars.

Clearly they lack the ability to "think other side of the box", let alone "outside of the box".Then, as I am waking back inside, I turn the package over and ... on the other side written in large "sharpie" letters ... the entire, correct address. Plain as friggin' day..
The U.S. Post Office preforms a service (by law) that no other profit minded business would (or could). They deliver to every address in the country and in many cases deliver to that lonely last leg address for some of the big package delivery boys. Imagine the gov't mandating that Pizza Hut, Papa Johns or other's that they must maintain a retail presence and deliver to every (rural) address in this vast country. That is what the USPS must do 6 days a week (universal service) and is partly why the they lost 3+ billion last year. Overall they do a great job plus 50 cents for a letter anywhere in CONUS is a bargain (no I don't work for the postal service). They are not perfect but like every thing else politics comes into play and prevents a fix.
