Essentially any mailbox you buy has to pass USPS regulations or noone would or could sell it. If you sold mailboxes that didn't meet standards you'd be in a lot of trouble. Most of the regulations relate to moving your mailbox or the post. Advertising is not allowed on the stand or the box. Full regulations can be found here. http://www.usps.com/receive/mailboxstandards.htm
