    Grin You've got mail!

    In hard copy!

    What is your letterbox like? Do you like wooden or metal letterboxes better? With zigzaps and spots, or matching the fence or the shutters? Does it have a fancy EMERGENCY FLAG and does your mailman come on a scooter or is he chased by hounds?

    Ours it a post office box. I'd love to say it's because
    of my many stalkers, but actually, it's because our old post box kept getting 'accidentally' knocked off by cars ><

    A mail shaped hole in the door with a metal flap on the outside.

    Why on earth would you have your mailbox outside of your home?

    And our mailmen ride cycles, because you wouldnt be able to deliver quickly any other way

    A regular white mail box.

    I wrote "Feed Me!" on the front side of it a few years ago while I was intoxicated.

    Yeah it's just a gold mail shaped hole with a flap on the front door. We don't have mail boxes, everything just lands in the porch. Our postman walks.

    Mine is a metal letter box which is big, red and brand new, and I like it. And yeah, our mailman comes on a scooter.

    Mailbox is black and made of metal and has a mini roof over it.. My mailman drives a small white boxy car with no doors that says US Postal Service on it.

    Our Mailman rides around in a USPS Van thingy and walks door to door to deliver mail. I don't the sub division I am in has mailboxes now that I think about it. Everyone has a door slot for mail.

    Because some homes are set far away from main roads(sometimes an eighth of a mile), and all houses are spaced a long ways out(usually more than an eighth of a mile where I live!), so to make it faster and more efficient for the mail men to gather and distribute mail, not only do we set mailboxes conveniently against main roads, but sometimes they're even on the same side of the street so they don't have to turn around to get the people on the other side of the street.

    Also when you're driving in general you won't be getting out to push mail through a flap.
