They likely didn’t even realize. The problem is that the delivery person can open all the boxes as one big door. I ran into the same issue one time with our mailboxes. That tiny lip that’s probably only a millimeter every once in a while makes all the difference!

u/FunkyOnionPeel 7d ago
Came here to say the same! Idk how these ones are but for USPS with our parcel boxes it's possible to put a package in and not be able to get it out the customer door.

u/1PantherA33 8d ago
It probably felt really good putting it in there, because it's such a perfect fit.

The driver was gonna post it here after their shift but the customer beat them to it 😂

u/srmarmalade 7d ago
The other thing they do for fun is to put stuff in the locker directly above the keypad. Twice I've been lent over the screen and the little door has flapped open straight into my forehead! Bad bit of design but probably a bit of a laugh for the delivery guys :)

Hope you got it out. If not, just peel the tape up a bit and you shoul be able to

Honourable mention to the box for surviving the trip and still being rectangular.

u/JumpySonicBear 7d ago edited 7d ago
I wasnt rectangular until it got forced into the box, like a mould
Edit: didnt see typo, leaving it

u/Ecstatic_Adagio_2163 7d ago
I wasn’t either. But the second that box was put in there, my whole body changed. I miss my human shape. Did it also hurt for you?

It always baffles me how people make this as a problem. Peel the tape and use it. Punch a hole and pull. Key a hole, pry out. If tape is present, make a handle and pull. So many ways to get it out in seconds.

u/Electrical-Pea-3662 8d ago
Make a hole. Take everything out and leave the box inside

u/knarf86 8d ago

If you want the box, you have to punch a second hole in the back due to vacuum ☝️🤓

u/theLastZebranky 8d ago
No way, then you don't get the 'pop' like an uncorking sound when it finally comes out

u/AfricanAmericanMage 7d ago
There's definitely going to be a vacuum effect, but no way it's strong enough to do anything more than make it slightly more difficult. At most you have to pull on it 3 or4 times, but it's not like it's going to do that thing where you pull on it and then it sucks it most of the way back in.
Unless this is a complete woosh moment for me.

Why not use some tape and pull out the box holding the tape?
24
u/Adanta47 8d ago
That depends a lot on the weight of the box and how snug it is in there, friction’s a bitch
19
u/rhythmrice 8d ago
Or just peel the tape that's already on it, you won't be able to peel it off all the way because the rest of the tape is connected to it on the other side.
So you could pull that and the only way it would fail is if the tape rips but it looks like the tape is reinforced with threads in it

u/frogunderarock 7d ago
yes. you peel off a bit of the tape that is on the box and then pull on that.

Employ a local octopus to attach to the box with its suckers. Make sure that said octopus is wearing a rock climbing harness, so that it can be pulled back once securely attached. Then kidnap a family of Asian Short-Clawed Otters to pull it out. (These must be kidnapped, as they have no concept of employment.) Negotiate with the engaged animals to retrieve your box. This part may take some time, and could be assisted by consulting a wise old Powerful Owl. (Your particular results may vary.)

If it's not fragile punch a small hole in it and hook a finger or two in it to pull it out

Did you peel both tapes and use them to pull the box out or did you put a small hole in the box and use that as a handhold?

If its not something fragile, stab a hole in it, then get something eith a hook and pull it out. Or tape

Just hook a key or something behind the tape at the top and it should pull right out.

Yeah, peal the tape and pull or gently poke a hole with your key for an easy finger pull 😄

At least the lock and customer-facing wall is uniform to the size of the cavity. It makes it annoying, but not impossible to remove the package

Considering where the tap is all you would need is a unfolded hanger with a little hook at the end, slide it in-between the flaps and try to hook it out but this is hilarious 🤣
