I’m in California and the house I grew up in in the suburbs had a slot like that. I was kind of jealous of friends who had a “real” mailbox and going out to check the mail was a thing they got to do every day. I live out in the country now and the mailbox is 150 meters from the house so I only check it once per week. If there’s a package that’s too big to go in the box the letter carrier has to drive all the way up to the house and gets pretty pissy about it, they definitely would not come shove letters through the door every day.
