  Mail Service  
   

Depending on where you live (house or apartment), you will get mail delivered to your mailbox by the USPS daily, Monday through Saturday.
If you live in a house and want to have the mail person pick up your mail, there is a flag on the mailbox which you can raise to indicate there is mail in there that needs picking up. However, you may not want to put mail in the box with your flag raised if it contains money or a check, or if it is very important to you that it reach its destination. People other than the mail carrier could occasionally remove your outgoing mail.

    When writing a letter to any destination in the US, you should put your name and address in the top left corner of the envelope so it can be returned to you if it cannot be delivered. This also lets the person you’re sending the letter to know where you live.
