Another data point - on Glenwood Rd (02145) I use the clothespin method and it's always worked except the few days I didn't receive any mail. I clip to the lip of the box (the clothespin keeps the lid from closing all the way but that doesn't matter) and the mailman pulls the envelope(s) out leaving the clip behind. I learned this from my sister-in-law in Orange County CA.
When I first got here I tried leaving it in the box, standing on end to be obvious (I thought), and that didn't work.
Clothespinned to the front works for me
