I does matter , to the postal service, which side of the street the box is on. If the carrier does not have to back track out of a sub division then all the boxes are suppose to go on the right side of the street. Also if the lots are under a certain size (approx 170 ft) then there should be a minimum of two boxes at the property line. This saves time for the carrier, not having to stop at every house . It also looks better in a subdivision with small lots.

Hmmm....could have avoided a lot of problems, instead of blaming the Post Office afterwards.
