The parcel does not drop smoothly into the box.
Check that the internal mechanism or chute is not obstructed by previous deliveries or debris. Ensure the box is mounted upright and not at an angle that impedes dropping.
Keys are lost or broken.
Contact the manufacturer or a locksmith for replacement keys. Keep a spare key in a secure location separate from the primary key.
