Mailbox spinoff thread: What happens if you opt out of having a mail box?

Probably just keep it at the post office

Have to pick it up at the post office. At least that's the case if you live where you have a rural route carrier. They won't even get out of the car for a certified letter, just pull up in the driveway and blow the horn.

If you live in town where you have a mailman that gets out of his mail jeep and walks door to door, then I still see houses with the mail thing hanging by the door.

When my cousin "Pete" was running mail in my brothers neighborhood my brother would always get his mail hand delivered to his garage in back of his house. Just so happens thats where the beer fridge is. "Pete" would drink a beer or two then finish his route. Pete's retired now.

You don't get your mail?

Yep, pretty simple.


I have trained our mail carrier to quit putting so much junk mail, sale papers, coupons, etc in my mailbox. Now, unless it's specifically addressed to me or the Misses, they don't put it in the mailbox. No more of that "Current Resident" bullshite.

My parents built their house in 1969 and have never had a mailbox. My dad worked near the Post Office and always had PO Box. Since Amazon started using USPS it's causing a problem
