mail delivery standards - boxes, baskets, and floors?

We live in a 2-family house with one mail basket hanging on the wall. For at least a decade, mail to both units just gets placed in that basket and we each take what's ours when we get home.

Lately I've been noticing that on occasion our mail carrier sees fit to deliver the mail to the two separate units by placing the envelopes on the floor by the door. It's a minor annoyance when it happens, but also has me concerned about mail getting lost or kicked away to where it might blow away. Should they be allowed to leave our mail on the floor? And are we also breaking the rules by not having an industry-standard mail box for each unit?
