I can see this being challenged by the National Association OF Letter Carriers . I thought it was illegal to put anything in a mailbox that didn't have postage on it . That's why newspapers have to have separate holders . Looks like the UPS Teamsters would challenge it too . USPS is taking hours away from them .
