    Big enough to post a letter,
    small enough to trap your arm if you go to steal the letters

    They are for letters. Parcels go to the post office.

    What's the deal with amirite? Is it an almond flavoured drink, or what?

    To be fair they are a bit pokey - even an A4 envelope with a few dozen sheets of paper can be a challenge to the standard box opening.

    It is a stamped self addressed padded evelope. So not being a cheap skate.
    Wouldn't be so bad if post offices didn't close for lunch.

    What is wiith that?
