Sure, but most of the time the box is placed so the large flaps are against the side walls and you're faced with the end of the box showing. If you don't know what's in the box, there is a risk in cutting/tearing it open that the contents may spill or be damaged.

What is interesting is that the OP has moved from one village to another. Never had this problem in the previous location, but happens fairly often in the new location despite speaking to the postal workers. Supposedly she has a sign on her box asking them to contact her if she gets a large package.
