[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 335577, member: 1664"] I got nailed as a rookie leaving a pkg in a mailbox. The post master sent a letter to the center saying I violated federal law and was subject to a $300.00 fine. She stated she would not press charges, if it never happened again. I checked into this federal law. She was right. The home owner has to provide a federally approved box at the correct height to receive mail. The air space inside that box is considered federal property. To protect the postal system from liability claims, all mailboxes must be mounted on "break away" posts. This is to protect USPS from being sued by the idiot that just ran over your mailbox. This protection does not extend to the owner of the box unless all federal standards have been met. I hang deliveries in a DR bag on the mailbox flag when the road back to the house is too bad to go down. [/QUOTE]
