Question

=]

Answer 1

My husband works at the US Post Office and said its a big No No to do that. But like the other person said you have put your add up on their door. If there is a long row of mail boxes you can post it on whatever the boxes are sitting on. Good Luck!

Answer 2

No, opening someone's mailbox is actually a federal offense.  However, it is legal to put fliers on peoples doors and or cars.

Answer 3

no it is not illegal, unless they have a note or sticker on their mail box saying no circulers, it becomes harassment if you contunue to do so.

I have placed brouchers into peoples mail box, and it has done wonders for my business.

uh supermarkets, video stores etc do the same.

So it is fine, until they ask you to stop.

good luck

oh and it depends on what the laws are in your country, google it and find out the advertising act of your country, it will clear everything up, i am from Nz so it is fine here.

Answer 4

You can put it through mail slots but not in mailboxes.

Answer 5

i dont believe it is legal however you can place them at doors or on wind shields i am a member of a starter company that can make you a professional brochure for a very good price email me if you are interested

Answer 6

You cannot put anything in someone's mailbox, but you can hang it from their mailbox or put it on their patio, or hang it on their door, or even put it on their car. What I would suggest, is put the flyers in grocery stores, or laundry mats, video stores. Look around, you will find flyers all over the place. Free advertising. Good luck.
