Article Title:Does your mailbox need an extreme makeover?
Snippet of Article: "...Generally, mailboxes should be installed at a height of 41-45 inches from the road surface to the bottom of the mailbox or point of mail entry. Mailboxes are set back 6-8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.

The Postal Service does not regulate mailbox supports in any way except for purposes of carrier safety and delivery efficiency...."
