USPS Mail Carriers and Your Curb Number

Your mail carrier knows the route, but substitute carriers, new routes and seasonal helpers rely on what they can see from the vehicle.

Substitutes Need Visual Cues

When your regular carrier is out, a substitute may be seeing your street for the first time. A clear number on the curb or mailbox helps them confirm the right stop quickly.

Fewer Misdelivered Letters

Hard-to-read numbers lead to mail landing at the neighbor’s house. A bold, high-contrast number helps prevent that.

Mailbox and Curb Work Together

Keep your mailbox number clean and readable too. The curb number is the first thing a driver sees, and the mailbox number confirms it.

A Small Step With Real Benefit

Painting a crisp number costs little effort and helps everyone who handles your mail and packages.
