  • As quoted from the USPS website: "You should install the mailbox with the bottom of the box at a vertical height of between 41-45 inches from the road surface."
  • Your house number should be clearly marked on the mailbox with painted numbers or stickers no less than 1" high. The numbers should be placed on the side of the box visible to the carrier's regular approach. The mailbox may also have the owner's name.
  • The box should be on the right-hand side of the road as traveled by the mail carrier.
  • It should be located approximately 2' from the side of the road to ensure the carrier can get off the road enough to clear traffic.

Generally, mailboxes are installed at a height of 41 to 45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry. Mailboxes are set back 6 to 8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.

The USPS states that the mailbox post should be 24 inches down into the ground. This will allow it to have some give should an accident happen.

What does re-directing email mean?

To redirect an email is to have it "forwarded" in a way, but not entirely...For example, let's say mailbox A sends and email to mailbox B. You can redirect any messages that go to mailbox B to be redirected automatically to mailbox C. When an email is sent to mailbox B, it will automatically be re-directed to mailbox Z, and the sender will still show as mailbox A, without involving mailbox B when mailbox Zwants to reply to or forward the message.
