Per bob haller:
But if I want a PO box at the local USPS office, I have to pay for it - right?
If that is the case, one would think that they are missing a bet by not providing free PO boxes...
On a side street a short drive from my house all of the curb-mounted mailboxes are on only one side of that street(the side with odd address #s if memory serves.
The side they are on allows the postal jeep driver to deliver the mail there in a direction that returns them, after a right turn at the stop sign at the end of that street, back toward their post office.
The only inconvenience is that even #d residents must cross a sometimes wet or snowy street to access their box.
HOA(Home Owners) in play here?
We live in a subdivision with no HOA, but the mail-box arrangement is the same: all the boxes on one side of the street -- on our street the odd-number side, but I can't swear that it's the same on other streets in the same subdivision.
Twenty or more years ago we visited family in a much newer subdivision, and they had mail-box clusters.
I am familiar with two adjacent small office complexes with just one mail-box cluster serving both of them -- and when there is mail in the wrong box there is no way of putting it in the correct box because there are no mail slots.

Nothing to do with HOA. That is the way the post office works. Take notice if you are driving along a motor route, the boxes are all on one side. Make s sense as to deliver to each house the route would be twice the distance and twice the time.

That is what I saw on the show "Holmes Makes It Right" I didn't understand until he showed a pic with the little flag. I like this better than the USA but I know it ain't gonna happen...
