From mailboxes to neighborhood collection boxes, our carriers from more than 38,000 Post Offices™ deliver mail across the country. Here are some of the delivery services used to bring the mail to your home, be it a city apartment or a country farm.
City Delivery may be established within the area to be served provided, among other criteria, the area has a population of at least 2,500 residents or 750 possible delivery points, and at least 50 percent of the building lots are improved with homes or businesses.
Rural Delivery is established through the determination of local postal managers. A rural route should serve an average of at least one residential or business delivery per mile. In addition, roads should be public and must be well-maintained and passable year round. Extensions of rural delivery service should also serve at least one family for each additional mile of travel, including retrace. The requirements for road conditions are the same as those for establishment of the route.
Curbside Delivery mail goes into customer boxes located at street edges.
Central Point Delivery is for folks who share one delivery point for several addresses. If you live in a newly developed neighborhood you might have a convenient Neighborhood Delivery and Collection Box Unit with your own compartment to receive your mail.
