Blue Dots on Mailboxes
Has anyone been able to verify the truth behind these stickers on the mailboxes? Our entire neighborhood has almost all blue and some red stickers on the mailboxes. Just wondering if there is any truth to this fema stuff I've seen online?

Re: Blue Dots on Mailboxes
I say it is BS. Reason is I do not have a mail box. There are tons of people like me that have mail slots in the door. Never mind the ones that have PO boxes.

Ever since I heard of this I look everywhere I went and never seen one. I have been in numerous states since I first heard of this and nothing, nada not one.

So, in some area this actually did happen it is not a FEMA country wide ID system. Can't be.

In most states they pay the paper person to put them on for them. This has been common knowledge for a while now.

Re: Blue Dots on Mailboxes
We don't receive a paper, never have and several of our neighbors don't receive a paper either. So....how could this have anything to do with receiving a newspaper?

This is ridiculous and untrue for various reasons.

A) Mailboxes are usually clustered into 1 or 2 groups per block. They are NOT in front of each household, and newspapers are *always* thrown into people's driveways. It would make no sense to have a dot on a clustered mailbox a hundred feet away.

B) There are numerous newspapers in any given city. That would be a lot of dots

C) It is a federal offense to tamper with a mailbox in any way. That's why solicitors place crap on your front door instead of in your mailbox.

Our mailbox is in front of our house... I think it depends on where you live. All of the houses I have seen in Oklahoma have them in front of their homes.

Everyone is a target, so there is no need for stickers.

I think what's in your e-mail box matters more than your post office one.

Don't even open email from people you don't know is always safe.

If someone puts a sticker on your mailbox with no explanation, just take it off?

I guess I'm not important enough to even have a mailbox dot.

It lets the paperboy know which house is paid up on his route.

I guess it depends on where you live. Around here, you only see those mailbox clusters at condos and newer subdivisions. Most neighborhoods in my city have 1 mailbox per house, set close to the house or down by the road near the driveway.

Hahahahahaha!!!

You guys are too funny.

Of course the paper people put these stickers on your mailbox...

It is so substitute delivery people know that you get the paper and on which days.

One color is M-F, another color is F-Sun, and another color is Sunday-only.

For freakin-sake, just ask your delivery person and they will tell you.
