In the US only items bearing USPS postage may be placed in mailboxes. Many pre-built mailboxes have a separate open receptacle for newspapers etc. FedEx and UPS generally deliver to the doorstep, even for envelopes.
- TallGuyShort 12y agoThere are actually laws written to prevent anyone but the government delivering "letters or packets" under penalty of fine or seizure: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1696 http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1696. I don't know recall details or the outcome, but I recall a few years ago it was up in the air whether you could send documents legally with private services, or if there were fundamental differences between USPS and "courier" services.
