Auspost / Courier Access to LF Letter Boxes

dasher86 on 15/02/2017 - 12:50

Occasionally I have things delivered to my home address.

I have a standard apartment letter box with an Lowe and Fletcher (LF) lock and key.

A few times i have noticed deliveries which would not normally fit into my letter box without opening have some how managed to find their way in.
I suspect the postie has an LF master key - yes they do exist ;)

Has anyone else experienced this?

I know it's a standard lock and key which is a slight deterrent for anyone wanting my mail but to know the postie can open it makes me feel uneasy.

It was a nice surprise not having to go to the Post Office though.

    Some apartment letterboxes are opened through a panel from the opposite side. This way all the letterboxes are accessible at the same time and I suppose it makes it easier for them to pop items in, rather than have to shove it through one postbox at a time.

    So you're worried about the person who brings the mail to the letterbox stealing the mail because they have a key to your letterbox.

      when you put it that way…
      what actually makes me feel uneasy is that something that is locked is being opened by an unauthorised person.

        So, you don't want your mail to be delivered?

        You'll find that the posties are authorized by your building management
