    My PO never had these, but we've just had a new post box installed outside for pre-labelled packages.

    You press a button to activate the scanner - scan your barcode - and once it's verified the package it opens a tray for you to place the package into, and then close the tray for it to fall into the post box. There's a small camera also capturing everything, and you get the tracking update online to say its been dropped off.

    Never used it yet TBH, but interesting concept……

    I hope it works. It could really improve the service. But it sounds a bit vulnerable to misuse.
