Looking for the best locking mailbox on the market? Post & Porch has you and your mail security on lock. You can add a modern mailbox lock during our easy checkout process – or purchase a separate post-mount mailbox lock or wall-mounted mailbox lock later on by clicking those two links.

Reasons you might need a locking mailbox:

• You get lots of packages and important mail
• Porch pirates and mail theft are common in your area
• You've had mail go missing before
• Traveling is common for you
• You share a mailbox area with neighbors
• You want peace of mind for more tranquility

You sure can! Our Double Mailbox Post Bracket is expertly designed and crafted in the USA by a small team to hold two Malone Modern Mailboxes side by side. A double mailbox post is excellent for shared driveways, apartments, townhouses, or multi-unit homes. It works like a charm when paired with the Post & Porch steel mailbox post, which makes installation even easier than you'd imagine due to its slip-over design. The double mailbox post bracket can be used with mailboxes of any size or style, even if they're not purchased directly from Post & Porch – we offer a range of sizes to choose from.

To install a mailbox and post from Post & Porch, you'll only need a few tools:

• Post hole digger or shovel (optional, depending on your installation destination)
• Level
• Gravel (optional)
• Quick-set concrete (for the concrete method)
• Screws or mounting hardware
• Measuring tape
• Power drill

We pride ourselves on making curb-appeal products and modern mailboxes in the USA that are easy to install and never require more than an hour of your precious time. DIY lawn projects are fun and all, but installing a mailbox should be ultra-simple, not overcomplicated or too time-consuming. We believe installing a mailbox is as important an experience as buying and having the post box itself.

You can learn how to install a mailbox post with concrete in this blog. Additionally, we've written extensively about the unique design and installation process of our steel mailbox post here.

Post & Porch offers a vast collection of modern mailbox sizes and designs so everyone can find the right post box for their needs and curb-appeal vibe; this includes small ones for barely-there apartment walls and large package mailboxes for bigger deliveries that crowd the front porch.

• Wall-Mounted Mailboxes: These are best for small, private homes where the front door, porch, or entryway is visible from the street and easily accessible. A wall-mounted mailbox is a great option if you want daily mail close to the door and don’t necessarily need a curbside mailbox setup.
• Post-Mounted Mailboxes: These are the best option for homes with traditional curbside mail delivery or a front yard that needs a stronger street-facing focal point for visibility and curb appeal. A post-mounted mailbox is ideal when it's the first thing guests, drivers, and mail carriers see.
• Dual-Access Mailboxes: One of our personal faves! These are great for homeowners who want curbside convenience without stepping into the road. A dual-access mailbox is ideal when you want to retrieve mail safely from the back while keeping the front easy for your mail carrier to use.
• Package Delivery Boxes: Best for homes that receive frequent packages and mailers, have porch clutter, or worry about package theft (a common concern we hear daily). A package delivery box is perfect when you want deliveries to stay organized, protected, and out of plain sight.

It's the perfect gift for those who appreciate great curb appeal, are new homeowners, or are sprucing up their home's exterior.

Post & Porch stands behind the quality of our products 100%, especially since each modern mailbox we ship out is made from galvanized steel and fortified with a powder-coating. But we understand that things happen every day, and so we introduced a mailbox warranty system. If your item is damaged due to an in-house defect, we we'll swoop in to cover the issue within the first year of purchase.

It's important to know that the Post & Porch mailbox warranty doesn't cover damage caused by improper handling, installation mishaps, accidents, or normal wear and tear. If you have any questions or experience any issues please contact us via email at [email protected]. Post & Porch is open Monday through Friday 9-5 PM MST, and we'll make sure to get back to you within 24 to 48 hours.

As a small business in the USA, we're continually working to improve our modern mailbox materials and construction so we can be the best of the best. Older reviews on Reddit and beyond may refer to previous versions of our mailboxes – back when we didn't know as much as we do now – or during an extremely busy season when shipping didn't get out as fast as we'd prefer, which isn't an excuse.

Got a question or concern relating to Post & Porch reviews?

Shoot us an email at [email protected]. We'd love to chat – we're open Monday through Friday, 9-5 PM, MST and will get back to you within 24-48 hours of you filing your email ticket.

Things have been a little busier than usual on our end – we've practically gone viral! While this is super cool, it means, as a small USA-based business, we need to be transparent about wait and shipping times. Reached out via email? We're working on those diligently, so you can expect a reply over the next 4 business days, though under normal circumstances that looks more like 24 to 48 hours. Wondering how long shipping takes? You'll see your order at your doorstep in 7-21 business days.

Don't hesitate to email us at [email protected] and our team will get back to you ASAP. You can also give us a call at 385-436-0270.

There isn’t a single inventor for every type of mailbox under the sun, but the post box that inspired today’s modern curbside mailbox was patented in 1891 by African American inventor Philip B. Downing. His “street letter box” made it much easier and safer for people to send letters without having to go all the way to the post office, which, back then, saved US citizens lots of precious time. Earlier designs for wall-mounted mailboxes existed, but Downing’s secure, weather-protected post box on legs is the closest ancestor to the modern post-mount mailbox you see in front of homes today.

Dive deeper into the history of mailboxes by reading this Post & Porch blog.

Parking directly in front of a post-mounted mailbox or wall-mounted mailbox is strongly discouraged because it can block the carrier’s access, causing your mail to be skipped for the day. USPS expects the approach to your mailbox to be clear enough that the carrier can reach it safely and easily without having to weave around vehicles or other obstructions. If you want reliable delivery to your modern mailbox, treat the space in front of it as a “no parking” zone during normal mail hours.

But it’s also important to note that there's usually no single nationwide law that sets an exact distance for parking near a residential mailbox. Instead, many cities and HOAs have local ordinances that make it illegal to block a mailbox and blue post box, sometimes with a specific distance (for example, 8 feet on either side). And even without a ticket, USPS can mark your mailbox as “blocked” and hold delivery.

It’s not necessarily a federal crime to block a residential mailbox, but it can still cause annoying problems for the person with the blocked mailbox. USPS regulations say customers are responsible for keeping the approach to their mailbox clear so carriers can deliver safely. If your house mailbox is blocked by a car, trash can, animal, or even snow, your carrier can skip delivery and try again later.

For curbside and post-mount mailboxes in the United States, USPS recommends installing them so the bottom of the mailbox or mail slot is 41 to 45 inches above the road surface. Here's a cheat sheet:

• Mailbox height: 41-45 inches from road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or mail entry.
• Setback from curb: 6-8 inches from the face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.
• Side of road: On the right-hand side of the road in the carrier’s direction on most routes.

Post & Porch custom post-mount mailboxes are pro designed in the USA to work with these USPS mailbox requirements – that way all you have to focus on is proper installation height and setback.

You can move your mailbox, but – I know we sound like a broken record – you need to follow USPS mailbox requirements and local rules. USPS usually asks you to contact your local post office before moving a mailbox so they can confirm the new placement is safe and accessible for your carrier.

Nope. Only USPS is allowed to place items inside your residential mailbox. This rule is called the “mailbox monopoly,” and it means private carriers like UPS, FedEx, and most Amazon drivers can’t legally leave deliveries inside your mailbox, even if there is space for them to do so. These deliveries will typically be left on your porch, at your door, or in a separate package delivery box that you provide.

USPS mailbox requirements primarily focus on safety, accessibility, and standardization to enable efficient delivery 24/7. For curbside and post-mount mailboxes, key USPS mailbox regulations are:

• Approved design: Curbside mailboxes sold as “USPS approved” or marked “Approved by the Postmaster General” meet size and construction standards.
• Height: 41-45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or mail entry point.
• Setback: 6-8 inches from the face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.
• Location: On the right-hand side of the road in the carrier’s direction of travel.
• Clear access: The approach to the mailbox must be clear of cars, snow, or landscaping.
• Address markings: House numbers or mailbox numbers should be clearly visible.
