Dear Dwell,
I've searched all over for an interesting mailbox—something other than a large-mouthed bass with a fin for a flag. Are there any modern mailboxes out there?
The dearth of modern mailboxes perplexed us until we read 39 CFR Part III: Standards Governing the Design of Curbside Mailboxes, which states that a postal worker may return mail sent to incompliant receptacies. Here are a few modern options that will likely please you and keep your post person from "going postal."
