摘要:
A postal delivery apparatus and method for delivering and removing parcels to residential and commercial customer is provided. The postal delivery apparatus preferably has a base including a bottom, a plurality of outer walls connected to and extending upwardly from the bottom, a substantially hollow portion positioned within inner confines of the outer walls so as to define an inner cavity, and an open upper end positioned for providing access to the inner cavity. At least one of the plurality of outer walls preferably includes a wall opening formed therein for inserting letter-type parcels through the wall opening into the inner cavity of the base. The wall opening preferably is sized and positioned for inhibiting access by a user to letter-type parcels positioned in the inner cavity. A partition is positioned between the plurality of outer walls so as to divide the inner cavity into a first compartment positionally aligned with the wall opening for inserting letter-type parcels therein through the wall opening and a second compartment for inserting larger box-type parcels therein through the open upper end of the base. An outer lid is pivotally connected to upper peripheries of the base, and the outer lid is positioned to overlie the open end of the base and abuttingly contact upper peripheries of the base when in a closed position and positioned to extend upwardly away from the base when in an open position so as to provide access to the first and second compartments through the open end.
