Question
What's the penalty for putting materials in a mailbox?
Answer
Placing unstamped material in a mailbox is a federal violation, because the mailbox is reserved for postal mail only. The penalties are steep and apply to any non-postal item.
| Detail | Amount / scope |
|---|---|
| Penalty | Up to $5,000 per violation |
| Applies to | Door hangers, flyers, and any non-postal material |
The rule is one of the clearest in print marketing: doorknobs yes, mailboxes absolutely not. This is general information rather than legal advice.
