Why Don't Villagers Have Mailboxes?

[Jackfrost]

I just noticed that villagers don't have mailboxes. How do they even receive letters then? I've been playing ACNL for almost two years now and I've never noticed this!

I-..... I've never noticed this either. My world was just shook a bit.

Dunno. I've never noticed this either, but maybe they could pick it up from the post office? Like if they have a PO box idk? interesting thought. lol

Email.
They must have slots in their name signs.

i imagine they speak to pete, who they always get excited about whenever he's in town. i imagine they only "in theory" get post directly from him.

Probably directly from Pete. Or maybe down their chimneys because a lot of them don't have fireplaces.

Well, I have been to a house with no letter box and the postman knocks on the door so that's how. As to why they don't have them, same reason they don't expand their houses - they like the quaint cottage vibe and hate you for your overgrown monstrosity you kept upgrading over and over. No mailbox keeps their house looking small.

I don't have a mailbox irl
Mail is just left on the front porch/door step or through the mail slot in the door.

It's silly to imagine that fireplace thing though! Lol Christmas is every day!

My mail is delivered through a slot in my apartments front door...so that.
