According to the Postal Service, federal regulations allow all postal employees, including carriers, to accept a gift worth $20 or less from a customer per occasion, such as Christmas or a birthday. However, cash and cash equivalents, such as checks or gift cards that can be exchanged for cash, may never be accepted in any amount. In addition, no USPS employee may accept more than $50 worth of gifts from any one customer in any one calendar year period.
If you decide to ignore the rule, your mail carrier must reimburse you for the cost of any gifts exceeding the $20 limit or for gifts where a value of the item cannot be easily determined. This is done in two ways: either by returning the gift or by sending financial reimbursement.

According to the US Postal Service, mail carriers aren't allowed to accept cash, gift cards, checks, or any other cash equivalents.
Here's the official statement from the USPS:
Under these federal regulations, carriers are permitted to accept a gift worth $20 or less from a customer per occasion, such as Christmas. However, cash and cash equivalents, such as checks or gift cards that can be exchanged for cash, must never be accepted in any amount.
So by all means, do feel free to leave a card with a box of chocolate or a bottle of wine (just not a very fancy one, with the $20 value limit!), but unfortunately, if you leave cash or a gift card, federal law says that your mail carrier can't accept it.

gift card是可以的，但是能换cash的gift card是不行的，一般大家给的amazon, target卡片上都明确说明不能redeem成cash。单次价值不能超过$20，全年不能超过$50。所以上面层主说给$300的、给现金的说实话不是很妥。我相信有邮差敢接，但是风险也很大，邮政局里的工作工资不算高，但是一个萝卜一个坑，想进去并不容易，多半人都是为了退休拿pension，所以更应该珍惜羽毛。当然ups，fedex不属于政府雇员，没有法律上的限制。
我们这里的邮箱边有个小旗子，立起来就表示有信需要取。所以我们都是直接丢gift card在邮箱里。
噗，是不是还要给亚马逊的送货车？这群哥们都不下车的，门口停一下，一招天外飞仙，东西就扔门口了……我都不知道怎么给他们东西。
邮递员基本每天都要跑的，各种账单statement都指着他们。其他人来的次数少啊。
学校老师也不靠小费，还不是一样要送。表示一下感谢嘛。
美帝的惯例钱钞比天朝容易打发多了。我妈在我家娃刚开学时就催我送礼，听我说只打算在圣诞节和teacher appreciation week一个人给25连呼太便宜了在中国绝对不可能。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

今年邮递员给留了张卡片 感觉得放包巧克力在信箱里了？ ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
我们是每年防巧克力给邮递员表示感谢。
邮递员自己会认领就好 哈哈哈哈 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
100？
你们都是serious吗？还是随便说着玩？usps，ups，Fedex现在还有amazon自己的送货的。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP

给100那些是商业 每天都很多包裹进出 一般residential基本是最多25
什么逻辑，这是他的工作。
在美国，不是在中国。
另外重大节日，Hyvee这些商家会专门送一些糕点或早餐到邮局表示感谢。不过这个就不知道是不是每个地方都一样了。
比起在中国被迫给老师送礼，给居委会送礼； 我宁愿在美国给邮递员送礼物。第一价格不贵，第二人家一年内真的提供了很好的服务，尤其对于我这种间歇性包裹稍微多一点的，虽然我都是小包裹，不是大件。 我家的邮递员每次有放到门口的包裹都敲门提醒。holiday season得时候，邮递员每天要来两次，我们家的邮递员爷爷和我说的，早上送包裹，下午送包裹和信件，有时候他们要工作到8、9点。
在国内被迫送礼，别人还要给你看鼻孔，其实那些都是他们的工作， 非但不好好做，还要各种寻租，明里暗里叫你送礼，还要装得很勉为其难，收了是给你天大赏赐。

如果是单独自己有一个邮箱，经常见，打招呼，甚至知道对方名字，说过话，常年都是那一个熟人，那么我会送一点。
也不是很多， 我没有什么fedex 或者ups的， 一年除了usps之外的邮件 不超过15件吧，尽量去店里买或者pickup。所以我才说间歇性，就是节日的时候多一点，有时候从换班买东西，就是usps 小包裹。
ups/fedex老换人，而且很难得来，我就算了。最近有点想给，因为我家新狗听见他们脚步声，会bark，把他们吓的突然一惊。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
是工作，但是小business owner 给ups小费后，他都问箱子要放哪个房间啊？不是简简单单就堆门口。 ---发自Huaren 官方 iOS APP
usps 邮递员每年都送，今年$15。
收垃圾的今年也给我们贺卡了。打算给回收垃圾和普通垃圾各放$10块现金。
我也不大理解收垃圾的，不过老公愿意给就给吧，一年也就$20。
很好奇怎么送，放垃圾筒上面？
后来我在usps的官网上看到他们还有对节日收礼的规定，不能收现金或者是GC,就算是礼物，单次也不能超过20刀的价值，也不知道是不是这个原因。但是看大家的回复邮递员什么都收，我又疑惑了

工作也有做的好的和做的不好的，对好的工作给予肯定，对别人的付出有感谢的心，不是都很应该的吗？
就跟你在美国不给老师送礼一样，我在国内读到本科，从来没有给老师送过礼，照样一路顺利也没有什么老师对我有什么歧视。
很多人来到美国就觉得到了天堂一样，风景好，人也好，把中国贬的一无是处，何必呢？
就是对他们一年辛苦表示感谢，而且感情都是互相的。邮递员年年会回感谢卡。去年我们的老邮递员退休了，给我们的卡里写了挺长一段message，感谢我们年年记得他。

不过我们每年十一月十二月两个月，门口都会放这么一小筐零食薯片朱古力，
请他们随便拿，以示感谢。
这样无论谁来送货都有份。
他们应该很高兴的，还给我们写thank you notes, 或者在送的箱子上写thanks for the snacks.
这个好啊。我们也这么弄！我们也是邮差不是一个人 usps的以前一个人 最近换人了，。
你这样的情况要么运气好，要么出身好，前几天还有个帖子，自己的先生加20分进入清华，排第一的女生应该拿这个加分，结果被老师擅作主张没拿到，考试失常差了几分没有进入清华。
ebay amazon 这种基本上是small business，我们这里 business 这里是送$100 一年的。
这个好棒，学习了。
这个小业主是害UPS快递员呢吧。UPS明文规定员工不得收取小费。

MM 你笑死我了。我们这里 Amazon 送东西的还好了，不但放门口，还要拍照留下证据证明送到了
