At least you have a letter box. Owners in my large SP have a communal mailbox. It is timber, it has a door with no lock and inside the wooden box there are alphabetized pigeon holes. It has been this way for the best part of 10 years.
Mail gets to a pigeon hole after being transfers from the single mail box at the entrance of the strata plan (SP). The box at the entrance is the Owners Corporations (OC) box, it has no door, stands at an angle, is rusty, has holes in top and the paint is poor. It does not even have the name, owners corporation, on it anymore because that was on the long gone door.
The mail contractor just drops everyone's mail in the OC's box and then some kind owner takes it over to the pigeon holes.
There is no mail security what so ever and mail theft is very common.
Like many owners, I have a PO Box at the post office that is 20km away but that does not guarantee that from time to time someone sends an item to the street address. PO box cost over $90 this year.
I find it interesting the OC “could” be held responsible for mail theft and/or the consequences of mail theft. I shall let my EC know; thanks struggler.
