This is “my” postbox in Zurich, Switzerland. But I often use different ones as well, as there’s one at almost every bus stop and train station, and I often walk to the post office (ca. 5min from this box) if it’s still open and put the cards in one of the postboxes there to ensure they get sent the same day since this one gets emptied just once per day at 9am. But they all look more or less like this and differ only in size :smile:

I’d love if you included my postbox @shermint Perhaps you could credit me with my Instagram username which is @littlesthobo3 (The same as the one here but with a 3 at the end.)

Absolutely!

I took this picture in December. During the holidays my post office has an extra postbox for Christmas mail next to the regular one! This is also where I mail most of my postcards

I have access to a military base so I have access to US and UK mail services. I absolutely love the US mailbox!

This is located on RAF Lakenheath in the UK, and my Instagram is @GaiaForrest

In Andorra you have a choice in postal service: French or Spanish, both with their own stamps.

I’m going to waste my last Belgian stamp for worldwide travel.

My mailbox is the white one. The one behind it is my neighbor’s across the street. The mail carrier only travels in one direction on my street, so all mailboxes have to be on the same side.

My red flag is up indicating that I have outgoing mail today, including a Postcrossing postcard! In the USA, the mail carrier will pick up mail from your residential mailbox, and if you schedule online a pick up request, they will pick up packages from your front porch.

Below the mailbox are the newspaper receptacles. I subscribe to six newspapers, four of which are delivered via US Mail, so they go in the mailbox. Two are delivered by private carrier, who are not allowed to use the mailbox due to postal regulations, so they go in the plastic receptacles.

Two very old postboxes in the seaside town of Llandudno, Wales, one from the reign of Queen Victoria. Both still in use.
