The openings to the mailboxes on the inside of the structure (where the mail carrier does his/her work) IS slightly larger than the openings we use on the outside of the structure. This is caused by the lip (frame?) that surrounds the door opening we use to get our mail. Of course, one would hope that with sufficient experience, the mail carrier would recognize this and not put a too large package in the mailbox.
