Mail Carrier here – Typically, I’ll pull the mail out of the box & bring it back to the station if its TOOOO full. Most carriers (should) have cards in the truck to let you know you need to come to the PO & pick up your mail. At that point you have about a week to come retrieve that mail.

I try to give the benefit of the doubt & determine if I can fit your mail in tho.
