The Federal law states that stickers ARE ok as well as standing mailbox covers that are sold in catalogs. As long as as the Postal worker can open the box, get to it and no bees or wasps,LOL, are inside it, its ok!
In regards to several postings of the NEED for some us to place a sticker on our box rather than remember the number of our box, with the slight inconvienience of having to stop by a mailbox drop to pick up my mail I myself enjoy the quick recognition of my mailbox so I have more time to enjoy the activites offered here in the Villages!
As long as the stickers are in good taste and offend no one I don't see where there is any llaws beeing violated here, unless it's the Villages alone that it trying to outlaw them.  |
I believe your friend is referring to "rural" type mailboxes that are individual.
The Postal Service is required to do annual safety checks of all boxes that they have installed. As a part of that process boxes are often cleaned and/or repainted. Because most of the boxes here are somewhat protected they rarely get repainted but I have seen them cleaned which may be what is happening when those stickers disappear.
