Your mailbox is technically USPS property that only the USPS and you, as the mailbox HOLDER, are allowed to access. No one else is supposed put anything inside a mailbox, and even then it’s supposed to be mail being sent or delivered, or communication between you and the USPS.

Nothing else.

The penalties/fines can run pretty steep if the USPS decides to make a case of any unauthorized use of their mailboxes. We had a local HOA get into big trouble over putting notices in mailboxes without postage.

For some reason, that made a bunch of us postal workers very happy.

Can’t imagine why...

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
