[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 292419, member: 12570"] It is NOT illegal to open the mailbox--it IS a Federal offense to open someone else's mail. I have also had occasion to open a mailbox to try to determine if that person lived there. I have a lot of college housing on my area and these kids often don't bother to put apt. #s on their pkgs so I have to play detective to figure out the apt number. However, leaving pkgs in the mailbox should only be done (if at all) as a last resort and then only with permission from the consignee. When I had a rural route, I had a couple of houses that were in the middle of nowhere and they both gave the OK to use their mailbox. Of course, mailboxes in the sticks are much bigger than the ones in the city so it usually wouldn't be an issue with the rural carrier, but I checked with him/her as a courtesy. [/QUOTE]
