The USPS Domestic Mail Manual states that "no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items of matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle." In other words, the mailbox may not be used for anything other than for pieces of mail with postage attached. The USPS Domestic Mail Manual goes on to states that it is a federal offense and there is a significant penalty for violating this law.

∙ 13y agoYes it is ILLEGAL to put something in or on a mailbox without postage. This is why UPS and Fedex drop items at your door. I think it is worth noting that there is no jailtime associated with this offense and a maximum penalty of $10,000 for businesses or $5,000 for individuals as well as being made to retroactively pay for the postage.
