Mailboxes in the United States

The postal system is a system for transporting objects, usually written documents typically enclosed in envelopes and also small packages containing other matter, around the world. Anything sent through the postal system is called mail or post. In principle, a postal service can be private or official. Restrictions are generally placed on private systems by governments. Since the 19th century, national postal systems have generally been established as government monopolies with postage (tax) on the article prepaid, often in the form of stamps.
