Mailboxes for houses, sorted by how you'll install them. Pick post mount for the curb, wall mount for beside the door, or a locking or package model if mail theft or deliveries are the worry.
Shop residential mailboxes for sale from six brands in one grid: house and outdoor mailboxes for the curb or the wall, plus the posts, address plaques and replacement parts that go with them. Filter by brand, material, color, price or availability, or narrow it down with curbside mailboxes or modern mailboxes.
What each brand brings

USPS asks for the bottom of a curbside mailbox (or its mail slot) to sit 41 to 45 inches above the road, with the front 6 to 8 inches back from the curb. Full rules: How high should a mailbox be?
Which mailboxes are USPS-approved?
Curbside mailboxes must be approved by the Postmaster General; look for that marking on the box or in the product details. Wall-mount boxes aren't subject to the same approval. See all USPS-approved mailboxes.
Post mount or wall mount?
It depends on where your carrier delivers. Curbside delivery needs a post-mount mailbox at the road; door delivery uses a wall-mount mailbox. Not sure? Ask your local post office before you buy.
Can I get a mailbox that fits packages?
Yes. Package mailboxes have a parcel drop that holds deliveries until you unlock it, and large mailboxes fit small parcels in a standard box shape.
