Commonly Asked Postal Questions

Can congressman Polis help me with a delivery problem I am experiencing with the United States Postal Service?

Yes. My office works directly with the regional postmaster to ensure that constituents' difficulties are resolved.

Can I move a mailbox?

As a general rule, mailboxes can be moved only for individuals who have physical conditions that inhibit their ability to retrieve their mail. However, the USPS considers mailbox placement requests on a case-by-case basis. 

According to USPS regulations, a curbside mailbox must be placed to allow safe and convenient delivery by carriers without leaving their vehicles. The box must be on the right-hand side of the road in the direction of the carriers travel on any new rural route or highway contract route, in all cases where traffic conditions are dangerous for the carriers to drive to the left to reach the box, or where their doing so would violate traffic laws and regulations. (USPS Regulation DO41, 2.7 )
