The postmaster told me the only way they will replace the lock is if i bring a copy of my property deed into the post office during regular business hours.
I received an email saying my package was delivered to a parcel box.
If the regular carrier for some reason keeps the keys in the lockers themselves so he doesn t have to deal with it someone may have mixed up the keys and you could have the wrong one in your box.
Leave a note taped to the outside of the box where the carrier will see it.

If the box is owned and maintained by the us postal service and is damaged broken then contact your local post office.
You shouldn t pry open your mailbox because it s against the law and also because our carriers can t deliver mail to unlocked or unsecured boxes.
Leave a note for your carrier.
The ones left outside in the elements often get really stiff and take a bit of force to turn.
Find the nearest location call early in the morning preferably around 8 am before the carriers go out give them the tracking details and explain the carrier failed to leave the key for the parcel locker and could they please rectify.
