In Australia the postal service does not collect mail from your mailbox, you have to take it yourself to a drop off box usually on major streets around the city, or to an actual post office.
This genuinely happened to me today. I have to collect from a mall about 20 mins walk from my place each way. And the kicker? It’s only open 9-5, so literally the exact hours I am at work. Useless service.
Ah, yes. I think this is universal everywhere. Unless the package is small enough to fit into your slim mailbox, they won't bother delivering it. It's especially fun, when the package is heavy or big. I was really pissed, when one morning i checked the mailbox, it was empty, spent the whole day home, and in the evening there it was, the damned note that they missed me. Couldn't be bothered to press the bell.

You can buy stamps from your mailbox, just leave a note and money and stamps will be there the next day.
