It is illegal for private delivery companies to deliver to mailboxes. Also, FedEx and UPS have universal delivery that EXCEEDS the U.S.P.S. For example, I live on a rural road and the postal service won't deliver to my home, but FedEx and UPS do regularly.
- hawski 9y agoCan one make a separate mailbox dedicated to private delivery companies? Would it be legal for them to use it?
- talmand 9y agoYes; just get a lockbox to put near your door and clearly label it as for packages. The idea of a mailbox and the laws regarding it tend to be rather specific. For instance, stealing from a mailbox is a federal matter but stealing packages from your doorstep is a local police matter.
- vageli 9y agoSure you can. Newspapers do this in rural areas.
- talmand 9y agoThe postal service won't deliver mail to your mailbox or just packages to your door? I can see they see a difference but if they deliver mail to your box then I fail to see why they would refuse a package to your door.
