How big is the slot on a USPS collection (blue) box?

I need to mail a couple packages. There are a couple I know won't fit, but one I am not sure about. How tall is the slot?

    hey good thing you didn't just try to stick your package in the hole! Fact is, if a package weighs more than 16 ounces IT MUST be delivered through the front window of a post office. This is a security measure that was put in place after September 11. You must take your packages over 16 oz. to the window and have it be accepted by a window clerk. If you put it in the blue box anyways, it will be returned to you at your expense!
