How to Find a USPS Drop Box
The United States Postal Service provides drop-boxes for sending mail. Mail theft is a common method of identity theft. When you put your mail in your mailbox and put up the flag, you are alerting thieves that there is something in your mailbox. Using a drop-box to mail your bills is a safe way to keep your checks from being stolen from your mailbox. In order to locate your nearest USPS drop-box, you can run a search using the USPS website.
