We are moving to a new neighborhood that has those "community" mailboxes. We would like the traditional Curbside mailbox delivery. Is that possible? How do we go about it?
The Community mail boxes are often used when the roadways in a development are not considered public roads. No matter what the reason, you are required to use these boxes unless you get your own Post Office box.
Well it has been delivered to my mailbox, i had it for 2 days now
i want to find the person that the check belongs to so he can personally come pickup the recovery check mail, since my mail box is right at the curbside of the street, i can’t trust neighbors or someone look and steal mail from my mailbox, and no i can’t put it back, because the red thingy majjiger fell off and im not at my house when the mail man drops off mail. and im new to the city im in, so no, i wont go to a post office because i dont drive and i dont know where is one, and no, i won’t buy a new mail box because I have no money. i will provide name of person if you can help me find their current address. state= texas
It’s not your responsibility to locate this person. The proper way to handle this situation is to place it back in your mailbox and write "not at this address" on the envelope. If somebody steals it out of your mailbox that is a federal crime. If you don’t have a flag or know where the post office is, how on earth do you mail anything? You might be able to find their address on whitepages.com. I had a refund check come to my house by accident, and I just handed it back to the mailman the next day with the "not at this address" message written on the envelope.
If this person is expecting this check all they have to do is call and as long as the other check hasn’t been cashed, they will be issued another one. The previous check will be cancelled and in about 30 days they will receive another one.
my mailbox is curbside, on a post on the sidewalk. i do not park in front of the mailbox, i park about 3 feet behind it. there is a clear passage for him to deliever the mail however he does have to get out to deliever it. this is my only parking spot. he hasn’t delivered the mail in almost 2 weeks. ive been told conflicting things from the post office as to whether he has to get out or not…so does he? and they seem to have lost all my mail.
oh i have talked to them, its always…we’ll get back to you
If there are no houses on the block that have mailboxes on the house he is not required to get out of the truck
is your mail delivered by a walking mailman or by truck?…. if it’s a truck, no, he’s not supposed to get out of the truck except to deliver a package….. and he prob won’t unless you have set it up with the post office already, citing illness or disability…. if you do go to the post office, they’ll see to it that you get service without having to go to the street….. if ….you are ill or disabled…
We rented a house and we haven’t moved in yet, since we still have our current place til the end of the month. We tried to get our utilities set up for today. We went and there was nothing on, no water, no electricity. We called the electric company and they said that a city inspector needs to go down there first before we can get services. What exactly is the problem? This rental is turning into a nightmare. We also had our mail forwarded a few days ago and we never got any mail. It turns out the mailman told them that he wouldn’t deliver to the door anymore and they needed a curbside mailbox, and they hadn’t put it up yet. Another thing is that they previously lived in that house, and they still have junk laying around inside and outside. What are we supposed to do with the stuff, I don’t like having too much junk laying around? But my main question is, do we tell him to give us a discount for next months rent since we aren’t able to get utilities hooked up, and for obstructing our mail delivery?
Our lease doesn’t start on the 1st. We paid rent for this month already- prorated. And…he had our deposit for two weeks before we started moving in. We agreed to give him the deposit if he would hold the house for us. We signed a lease and everything. During that time he was supposed to have cleaned it out, which also gave him plenty of time to put up the mailbox. Also, I just spoke to him and he indicated that he might know what the problem is, so to me that means that it is something wrong with the house.
OK- This is different than I originally thought.
Since you already signed the lease and paid rent for this month then they are in violation. They need to refund any rent money paid for the days you have not been able to move in. If it is not available soon, then you should be allowed to break your lease with no penalties.
Note: it is ILLEGAL to stop payment on the deposit check!
Over the years I have replaced 7 curbside type mailboxes. I have tried the heavy duty kinds, the rubber kind, and tried putting it high, low, all to no avail. The baseball bat kids are winning! My mailbox is at the end of a long driveway, so I can’t monitor it. We are in a nice area with a private security guard. Once someone was caught and his mother replaced my mailbox. Now that one is gone.
I do not care for the brick mausoleum looking ones. Any experiences or suggestions?
You could put 2 posts in front of the box and have something cool like a wrought iron scroll or something similar between the posts. Use heavy gauge pipe or wooden posts, whatever hurts them and not you!
What is the actual law about vehicles parked on a public county road and the delivery of mail to curbside mailboxes? State of New mexico
You may not block access to Mail boxes. Your mail will not be delivered.

Get a pretty wrought iron garden arch and place it over the mailbox. Just sink it deep enough into the ground at the bases. You could even plant a nice flowering vine on it. The vandals will not be able to hit the mailbox because it will be protected by the iron arch. Good luck.
Replacing a mailbox post is an easy way to spruce up the curbside appeal of the home.
