    This works well in conjunction with USPS Informed Delivery, which emails you images of any mail addressed to you (not occupant junk mail.)
    If Informed Delivery shows you're getting something important, go collect it when the alarm goes off, If not, the alarm will indicate you just received junk mail, which you can leave for the next time you happen to be out by the box, and reset the light.

    Sometimes the mail carrier leaves the lid open risking that some items may fly out on windy days. So in addition, I'd like an indication that the box is not closed.

    The latest that ever seen our mail delivered was 8:30 pm but a day after a postal holiday they could be behind or short handed that day and carriers probilly had an extra route but our mail usually is delivered between 11 am and 5 pm sometimes later during the month of December

    Neat. I bought $10 NHFreight prox alarm, put xmtr in back of mailbox, receiver in house. Same principal, but without status light. My metal mailbox prevented signals so I had to add ~2ft wire to make antenna, snake it out drain hole. Soldered to xmtr circuit board (where coil wire was...their antenna).

    That's what the flag is for, but I know of no mail carrier that bothers to put the flag up to let you know mail has been delivered.

    • @CarrotDugTooDeep
      @CarrotDugTooDeep 3 роки тому +2

      The flag is for when you have mail to be picked up. You put the envelope that you want to mail (with stamps on it) in your mailbox and lift the flag. The mail person sees the flag is up and knows that you have mail to be picked up. They remove the mail and then lower the flag.

      I agree with you that as a society we have become really lazy. Can't open the car door or roll up a window, or even tie our shoes these days but stopping what you're doing to go out and check the mailbox before the mail comes is like opening the front door when no one there. Pointless.

    • @dicklong2118
      @dicklong2118 2 роки тому +1

      Lazy, maybe. But, think about it. Some people who are aging or disabled aren't able to run to the mailbox 3, 6, or 9 times because they thought they may have heard the mail truck go by. And, there are those foul weather days, when NO ONE really wants to tramp through the rain, snow, or wind to see if they got mail. So, yeah, good for lazy people, but not everyone is simply lazy.

      Gotta agree with SZ here. The flag alerts the mailman that there is something to be picked up. Not visa versa. At least, that is how it’s done here in the states. Where you from, buddy?

      @@devonwhitley4958 It is so weird that people keep saying that. In what part of the world do postal workers put the flags up? I have always lived in places where you put up the flag if you want the carrier to stop and pick your mail up. Maybe Trevor and Judy should try that sometime and see what happens!

    Signup for Informed Delivery, service offered by the Post Office, and you’ll receive an email every morning that you have a piece of mail in your mailbox. It also helps with tracking incoming packages.
    Best of all, it works in any weather condition and let’s you know there is mail no matter where you are.

    • @sziltner
      @sziltner 5 років тому +2

      Yes, it does.....but it doesn't tell you when the mail is in your box. I get my Informed delivery email at 0800 and sometimes the mail isn't delivered until 1600. So the Informed Delivery is of no use for what Ron was saying.

    • @TuanNguyen-su4yy
      @TuanNguyen-su4yy 3 роки тому

      You are correct. Nowadays USPS sends out an email if you have any letter or package and it is called USPS Daily Digest email. It is a free service and you have to register with them. It indicates the picture of the letter so you know ahead what the letter is from or about. For the package, it indicates the tracking number. It is very accurate though. Once awhile, I got a letter from IRS and it scared me a lot before I read the letter.

  • @devonwhitley4958

    This is probably good for an elderly or disabled person. Other people should just learn what time their mail is delivered, and walk their lazy ass to the mailbox to check for mail. Most of America's morbidly obese, I walk to the mailbox isn't going to hurt them.
