Post Installation – USPS requirements
The US Postal Service has strict guidelines on installing mailbox posts and mailboxes. Please ensure you adhere to these guidelines to prevent disruption to your mail service.
Where to Place Your Mailbox
Position your mailbox 41″ to 45″ from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry.
Place your mailbox 6″ to 8″ back from the curb. If you do not have a raised curb, contact your local postmaster for guidance.
