U.S. Mail only – just ask a politician.
daaaaaaaaaa, does it have postage on it?
Not unless you mailed them to someone.
The mailbox is federal property, and you have to pay the price to use it.
You can use the newspaper box, though.
Nope you can’t put anything in mailboxes but mail. If you didn’t pay postage it will be sent back.
A mailbox considered a property of the US post office. Tampering (or just opening and placing a harmless piece of paper) is seen as a crime and subject to fines. Really, it’s just the post office/government wanting to make sure they make their revenue numbers. Now with heightened security, it’s also seen as a secutity risk. An except from the source link below:
“In 1934, Congress enacted a law known as the “mailbox restriction” that prohibits anyone from placing mailable matter without postage into any mailbox. This law, 18 U.S.C. 1725, gives the Postal Service a virtual monopoly over mailboxes and currently reads as follows:
“Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits any mailable matter such as statements of accounts, circulars, sale bills, or other like matter, on which no postage has been paid, in any letter box established, approved, or accepted by the Postal Service for the receipt or delivery of mail matter on any mail route with intent to avoid payment of lawful postage thereon, shall for each such offense be fined under this title.”
Under current law, a violation of the mailbox restriction law is an infraction that can be punished by a fine but not by imprisonment. The maximum fine for each offense is $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for organizations.”
why not, just like getting a flyer from the pizza joint down the road
