Notes: USPS regulations do not govern what can be placed in a mail slot on your door. This means that if a local business wants to put a flyer in the mail slot, they can do so. For further questions or to report occurrences regarding flyers being placed into your mailbox without first going through the postal system, please refer to the local Post Office.

Royal Man Member. Bob, Check the law its illegal to attach anything to the outside of the mailbox without postage. Just pay the postage and you won't have anything to worry about. You cheap asses!!! Ron Werner Member. You're talking about the "by the road" mailboxes with the flags on them? The home owner or the postoffice? Ie, who paid to put it there? If the home owner put it there and owns it, how can the gov't claim ownership and write a law concerning private property?
Howdy neighbor. If it was me I would go down and talk to the postmaster. Tell them this is your first offense and that it was a new employee who didnt know the law. Make it a policy in your company guidelines and show the postmaster that this mistake will not happen again and that you took action on it.
Then just hope you get them on a good day. If not then pay fine and move on. Greg Loe Member.

Actually the post office owns the inside of the mailbox not the outside of it.
So you can put flier on the flag area as long as it does not interfere with the deliver or the number on the box. Location NY. Don't be cheap, just mail them to their houses! Mick PlowSite. Location Maine. This law, 18 U. The regulations restrict items placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mailbox.
Michigansnowkin Member. Location Livonia Mi, Every city is different, you are technicly not allowed to touch another box. Some will let you get away with the newspaper box or flag. Me personaly If we hand flyers out we only us the newspaper boxes, its all about money, they want you to use bulk mail.
And there will always be the nosey old lady calling the post office. If we get a call just dont hit thta area again. Go to another sub. You can not put them in the mail box, but you can put them in the news paper box, if they have one anymore, I got lucky a few people in my fire house work for the post office and took care of me, but they did their part by stopping me before I did handed them out.
Location Bethany CT. We ran into the same problem at are fire dept. We had some guys put the fundraiser letters for a benifit dinner into mail boxs. We had to get are local congressman involved to help fix the problem. After much help from ALL are congressman they dropped all the fines and postage fee's. It took 7 months to make it happen so long and short don't touch a mail box for any reason. As for mail box baseball over 6 mailboxs damaged will be handled in fed court if you are over Location rock - Me - hardplace.
To answer the OPs question - No, it is not illegal to advertise. It is, however, very illegal to use mailboxes for for flyers. Exact Services Senior Member. Location North Idaho. All my flyers are put on the doorsteps, under the corner of the door mat etc. As of yet I have never had any responses from any put in a newspaper box. Take the extra effort and put them where they will be read.
