Mailbox: instructions for use
Are you tired of receiving your folded or damaged mail? Or simply not to receive it directly at home? There is only one way to avoid this and receive your envelopes in the best conditions!
Use a suitable mailbox
Thanks to it, you will offer an optimal service day after day , which will then allow you to receive your mail on time and in perfect condition . In addition, you will avoid traveling: indeed, if your box is too small, the postman leaves you a notice of passage, then you must go to a post office to withdraw your shipment.
Some recommendations
Thus, to avoid all these inconveniences, you simply need to follow the following points:
Location : Your box should be placed as close to the public road as possible and easily accessible .
Size : it is essential that it is adapted to the volume of your mail . She must therefore be large enough to accommodate any type of mail, whether it is a simple envelope or a small cardboard pack with maximum dimensions (34 x 25 x 3 cm).
However, this type of mail only corresponds to sending without tracking (that is to say without tracking) and not requiring a signature. Your box must have the following minimum dimensions : 35 x 26 x 10 cm .
It will then be possible for the postman to post more mail and this will save you having to go and pick it up at a post office.
The opening : it must be at least 25 cm wide and 3 cm high .
The height : the opening of your box must be at a height between 0.80 and 1.50 m from the ground.
Another precaution : finally, one last thing: do not forget to indicate the name of all inhabitants of the home on the box. These must be clearly visible .
A small +
If you are going on vacation, consider the mail guard service : this will save you from unnecessarily cluttering your mailbox during your absence.
