Mailbox Delivery & USPS Requirements

Mail delivery requirements vary depending on how your mailbox is installed and where your property is located. Understanding these guidelines helps ensure proper mail delivery and long-term compatibility with your local postal service.

Wall-mounted mailboxes are typically used for homes with door delivery. When properly installed and accessible, they are commonly accepted for residential delivery in many urban and suburban areas. Placement, height, and accessibility play an important role in meeting local delivery expectations.

Post-mounted mailboxes are generally required for curbside delivery. These mailboxes must be installed at the correct height and setback from the road to allow safe and efficient access for mail carriers. Curbside delivery is common in suburban, rural, and newly developed neighborhoods.

Vsons mailboxes are designed to meet standard residential mail delivery practices. However, final approval and placement requirements are determined by your local postal authority or mail carrier. We recommend confirming installation guidelines with your local post office before purchasing or installing a mailbox.

If you are unsure which mailbox type is right for your home, reviewing delivery method requirements can help guide your decision.
