Let’s review our checklist:

  1. Raising or lowering your mailbox to meet local height requirements.
  2. Replacing or adding house numbers.
  3. Loose hinges on a mailbox door.
  4. Rusting or peeling paint.
  5. Remounting a mailbox post if loosened.

We’ve taken care of how NOT to meet mailbox height requirements.

Next step replace or add house numbers:

NO

Mailbox

YES

Let’s review, spraying painting your house number all over your mailbox and mailbox post is bad. Using vinyl lettering made specifically for mailboxes, or neatly stenciling numbers on your mailbox is good.

    they should have a roman numeral version on the side too, just to be completely clear: MDCCLXII.

    maybe a binary version on the top for when it’s seen from above: 11011100010 (UFOs have to navigate streets too ya know)

    Looks like maybe the pizza delivery guy couldn’t find the address!
