It is your responsibility to provide a box that has been approved by the Post Master General. You can find one at your local hardware store or possibly Wal-Mart.

Can a short mailbox cause one to have mail delivery suspended?
Yes. The U.S. Postal Service has mailbox height requirements. If your mailbox does not comply with these requirements then the USPS will suspend delivery service until the problems are corrected. I know this personally because it happened to me twice.Below is are the requirements as stated on the USPS website.The name on your mailbox should be at least 1 inch high.You should install the mailbox with the bottom of the box at a vertical height of between 41-45 inches from the road surface, unless you have a road or curb condition that prevents this. If you do, be sure to contact the postmaster before you change your mailbox location.Boxes must also be on the right-hand side of the road and in the carrier's direction of travel in all cases in which driving on the left-hand side to reach the boxes would pose a traffic hazard or violate traffic laws and regulations.Your mailbox should be set back 6 to 8 inches from the front face of the curb or road edge to the mailbox door.A mailbox with a lock must be a model that's USPS approved by the Postmaster General, with a slot large enough to accommodate your daily volume of mail.

Can you place advertisements on the post supporting a mailbox?
If it is yours then yes, but if it is not I would ask the person who owns the mailbox, or you could put it inside the mailbox if it is not yours. Wrong: As a letter carrier, I can tell you that you are absolutely not allowed to place anything in someone else's mailbox unless you are an official letter carrier. Advertisements, etc. that are placed in mailboxes without postage and not by a letter carrier, are removed from the mailboxes by the letter carrier and turned in to postal management. The violator may be billed for postage for the entire route where the advertisements were found. THE ANWSER IS NO -- According to the USPS Domestic Mail Manual (DMM 508.3.2.5) "Any advertising on a mailbox or its support is prohibited."
