    STEP 1: MARK LOCATION FOR THE POST Mailboxes must be placed so they can be safely and conveniently served by carriers without leaving their vehicles. If possible, choose a location close to your residence or business and a location that doesn’t require crossing a road or street (check with local post office, if unsure). This will allow you to retrieve your mail without having to step into the street by simply rotating the mailbox toward you.

If required, adjust the height of the vertical arm by removing the hex bolt and nut and moving the post up or down as needed to achieve the desired 42 to 44-inch height from the roadbed surface.
