Default Mail too big for the mailbox

What happens if you are about to receive a package that is too big for the mailboxes? Do they leave you a note and you pick it up at the local post office?

There are boxes for boxes at all the mail stations. Should you get a large package, you will find a key in your mailbox to open a box and find your box.

This is for all year and not just Boxing Day.

Just thought I'd throw that in for shrandell so she knew I knew what happens on December 26 in UK...

I don't know if all stations do this, but when the parcel has been too large for the large package box, the couple working the station have delivered the package directly to our home.

We had a notification in our box once to meet them the next day at the neighborhood post office to receive a large box. They had it in the back room.

I'll bet it's not something they're required to do. Either way, we didn't forget it when sending them a Christmas card +.
