Mailbox stickers
We noticed people have put stickers on thier mailboxes (Citrus Grove) I think it's cool to remember your box at the beginning. And add some "personality " Are the stickers allowed? What is everyone's feelings on them? (Should I duck now?)

Why not dress 'em up a little? Pretty boring, otherwise.

When stickers are removed it takes the paint finish off the mailbox. Some mail stations stickers have been completely removed and had to be repaired and painted. Looks awful.
In the new areas stickers are not allowed

Also, as above mentioned, for some people with vision problems the stickers are wonderful. |

Why do you care what others think about them? If you like it or need it, do it. You certainly don't need the approval of a bunch of strangers to make a minor decision like this.

The "building" that houses the cluster mailboxes, the postal station itself, is owned by The Villages. The boxes, and the doors to the boxes, and the locks, are property of the USPS. Theoretically you're not supposed to adorn those box doors with anything, because you don't own them. But the USPS has taken a hands-off approach to them and as long as you're not obscuring the box number or blocking the lock, or putting the sticker in between your box and someone else's, no one's going to "do" anything about it.
Some people consider them to be very tacky. And - some of them (IMO) are tacky. But some are cute, or pretty. I'd suggest keeping political stickers off of them, or anything that suggests that you're "pro" or "anti" anything. |

Do not remember one from before, ours has lots of stickers and lots of places where the sticker has been removed leaving residue.
Do not really care one way or another |

Seems not allowed at our boxes. Boxes have "conveniently" placed scratches on them instead.

Two nations divided by a common language.
As a Brit I love the different way we say garage. But then again, my wife and I are from two different parts of the UK. You should hear the friendly banter we have about the way you say scone. Happy to take the Brit gibes - we get worse from the Aussies. |

Some folks like the stickers, others ignore them, and a few absolutely hate the idea. Count me in on loving them. The heck with the haters.

Yep, I've got a sticker on my Car and my House as well so I can find them. I have the 'glow in the dark' kind so I can find them even at night.
