Mail boxes are in order of your street address, they have stools there.

The keys are controlled by the Post Office, not by the mail carrier or the contractor employees who deliver the mail.

I'm just the opposite, I'm 6'7" and our box was on the bottom row. My knees don't flex as well as they once did so many times trying to get the mail I would end up pushing a few pieces out of the box and back onto the floor inside. Luckily when we sold that CYV and purchased a designer home in a different village we got a box in the middle we could both easily reach.

They may be, but as stated in #7, our neighbor was able to have their box moved by "the mail carrier". Our neighbor asked "the mail carrier" and it was done.

Sorry for the OP's problem. Looks like you've received more than a few suggestions. Some helpful, some not...
That said, my unhelpful post is that we got lucky. We have the "Goldilocks" of mailboxes. It is in the middle row, dead center, facing forwards, towards the parking lot. Just right...

This is what we were told, also. I purchased a collapsible step stool at an RV store that has been very handy for reaching those places that are inches out of reach. Might be worth considering.

OP, if all else fails, you could try getting a box at one of the pack and ship stores specifically asking for one that is at a good height, and have your mail forwarded to that location. I would still check your original box at least once a week, it will probably be full of junk mail...

I do not bother to pick up the mail more often than every two days. You may explore renting a box at the post office. |

My mom is 90 goes upstairs to bedroom and downstairs to do laundry. A step stool is in her kitchen to get to some cabinets. I have tried to get her to move to one of our homes with first floor bed and laundry, NO, stop treating me like an old person. Not everyone has balance issues. I certainly have learned not to help unless I am asked here in TV, Or anywhere else

Thank you all for your replies!
We will ask the mail carrier, for sure. If that doesn’t work, maybe a light two-step stepstool with a handle. |
