USPS Urges Massachusetts Residents To Check Their Mailboxes

Massachusetts residents depend on the United States Postal Service for essential services, including mail delivery, packages, and necessary items like medications. While many residents check their mailboxes daily, the USPS urges them to do so promptly.

The Postal Service operates a comprehensive network of personnel and advanced technologies to collect, process, transport, and deliver mail and packages accurately. To ensure the safety of postal employees, the mail stream, and the public, USPS collaborates with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. They work together to enforce laws that protect the nation’s mail network.

According to the USPS, the third week of May is Mailbox Improvement Week. This initiative encourages customers to inspect their mailboxes for appearance, maintenance, and necessary upgrades to ensure secure mail delivery.

The USPS recommends several improvements for mailboxes to enhance delivery efficiency. Homeowners should consider replacing loose hinges on the mailbox door, securely remounting any loose mailbox posts, adding or updating house numbers, and repainting rusted or peeling mailboxes. Additionally, the USPS urges homeowners to remove any obstacles hindering efficient mail delivery or pickup.

The Postal Service thanks Massachusetts residents for participating in Mailbox Improvement Week. This support fuels the dedication of those who deliver to millions of addresses each day, undeterred by snow, rain, heat, or gloom.
