Maybe some people who cant remember there box # without a sticker should put a sticker on there favorite seat for happy hour or a sticker on there front door, your golf cart, etc. lets make TV look like Ding Dong School. Why not paint your box a different color. I cant believe the big bad govt would let me paint their mail box

how something so silly can cause so much ruckus!
Well i contacted a friend of mine who is a postal worker in NJ who delivers mail and has been for the past 35 yrs or so. The Federal law states that stickers ARE ok as well as standing mailbox covers that are sold in catalogs. As long as as the Postal worker can open the box, get to it and no bees or wasps,LOL, are inside it, its ok! In regards to several postings of the NEED for some us to place a sticker on our box rather than remember the number of our box, with the slight inconvienience of having to stop by a mailbox drop to pick up my mail I myself enjoy the quick recognition of my mailbox so I have more time to enjoy the activites offered here in the Villages! As long as the stickers are in good taste and offend no one I don't see where there is any llaws beeing violated here, unless it's the Villages alone that it trying to outlaw them.

The Postal Service is required to do annual safety checks of all boxes that they have installed. As a part of that process boxes are often cleaned and/or repainted. Because most of the boxes here are somewhat protected they rarely get repainted but I have seen them cleaned which may be what is happening when those stickers disappear.

Or maybe you could place a powerful flashlight in your box, your's would be the one shinning all the time. Or if your box number is 36678 you could remember you turned 36 in June of 1978. Or give your neighbor your box number and ask them to pick up your mail. Or take a photo of your mailbox with your phone camera. Or never lock your mailbox. The possibilities that do not include stickers are endless.

Same Stickers
We don't have a sticker on ours, but there are several around it that do....identical ones. How is that helpful for identification? Just asking....

Not the Post Office
Hubby ran into the mailman when he went to get the mail today so he mentioned the stickers being wiped cleaned from all the boxes. The mailman said that the Post Office does NOT remove any stickers from the boxes.
So I guess removing the stickers would mean that someone is tampering with postal/federal property and if they are caught they can be punished accordingly. I just think that people should have better things to do than go around and clean stickers off of mailboxes that don't belong to them. By the way I seldom go to our mailbox, so I don't know our mailbox number by memory. Add that to my neurological deficiencies that make it difficult for me to remember and I just found that this was a great help. |

We haven't heard from sticky on the sticker subject.
I think I'll put a sticker on my golf cart. There are so many golf carts here I get confused. While I'm at it I'll use stickers to save chairs at the square. Can anyone think of more sticker uses? |

You could put a sticker on your golf ball.
How about a sticker on your dog. Lots of talk here on TOTV about dogs, must be millions of them, a sticker would help you to find yours. Better yet, have the dog swallow a sticker then you would know what poop to clean up.

Village of Amelia still has stickers as of yesterday. Very messy-looking. I thought the stickers were used by people who rent out their homes but from reading these posts I was wrong. Write the # down on a piece of paper & keep it in your golfcart and/or car.
