Never make another wasted trip to the mailbox!
Are you tired of making trips to your mailbox only to find it empty, or someone else has already picked up the mail for you? Are you wishing there was a way to know when your mail has been delivered and is in your mailbox?
MGP FLAG UP-MAIL IN® is the answer youve been looking
for - when the flag goes up, your mail is inside!!! - Навчання та стиль
Absolutely a EXCELLENT idea. Thank you!!
Postal Service now has a FREE service to see what’s coming in your box... sign up with email and you’ll get an email that has a picture of what your getting.
I’m a mail carrier from TX I know it works
I use Informed Delivery especially when expecting checks. It's a wonderful feature! It shows a scanned pic of your mail on a daily basis. Twice it showed a delivery that wasn't in my box which allowed me to notify my carrier that it was missing. One of the pieces got wet after the scan and washed my address away but because I had the scanned photo it was easy for my carrier to find and deliver. I'm sure there are still some, but not many, people who don't use the internet and this could work for them.
Why would they waste server resources on this
As I have just moved to a rural area I am so glad I know the signal.
Mailbox Flag 🇺🇸 Up = Mail is Inside! Got it! Thank You for the tutorial! 👍
What about when you want to send out the mail?
I have to take mine to the PO box on the street
Yeah...the mail man doesn’t put my flag up
When you open mailbox it pops up itself
Most American thing I have seen. My mailbox is just embedded in the door. So mail fals on doormat.
You should make one for the one and two door, locking type mail boxes
If the mailman picks up your outgoing mail, the flag goes up. He may not have left you any mail, however. You will have to go out and check. Minor inconvenience.
How does the mailman know that you have mail in the mailbox for him to pick up. All other boxes have a flag when it is up it tells them there is mail in the box for him to pick up.
Oh is that how that works. Huh I didn’t know that.
The other RED flag tells mailman.
@@kennywills8797 I thought the mailman just looked for a flag in general, does it have to specifically be red?
The mailman looks for a red flag on the right side of the mailbox to let him know you have outgoing mail. The flag that tells you that you have mail is mounted on the opposite side (left side) of the mailbox. It is not red. Paint it any color but red, or buy this white one this man is advertising.
This is a great idea.BUT, what if you leave mail in the mailbox for pick-up and the mail carrier has no mail to leave for you? Is it up to the mail carrier to re-position that flag?
no
How does it work in the snow?
I did this. The mailer didn't take my mail. They just left it.
This design will only work with mail boxes of this design. Snow load and winds are likely a problem for this as well. Looks like it will only mount on the left side of the box. Check out the Mail Box Butler.
Yes, needs to be a box with the door that fits OVER the box lip, not the type i have that is recessed into the box. maybe could use magnets?
Your website doesn't work. I can't order one.
From what I have read on the comments most of the people are trying to use this flag to indicate they are sending mail out.
This flag is only to let you know the mail person has opened your mail box to put mail in.
The red flag which is usually the standard flag is suppose to be the one you raise when you have out going mail.
When I look out the window, my mailbox is sitting crossway to my view, so the flag would be hard to see. I need it to be turned 90 degrees.
How about a letter box in your door like we have in the UK. Mail man posts it through front door.
got one today.
4 times tried to place an order. every time I click on update totals for 2 flags...program kicks me out for the next round.
That's nice, but my mailman never uses the flag.
This product is somewhat dated now. I use USPS's Informed Delivery service which not only tells me I have mail or not but also shows me a scanned photo. I can still see this product being though useful for other types of home deliveries such as Rx, FEDEX or UPS packages that aren't allowed to be placed in a regular USPS mailbox.
but you don't know WHEN the mail is delivered during the day, so you could make multiple trips to an empty mailbox
@@Guywithcrazyideas I've seen one where a yellow metal piece pops up on top when the lid is opened. It doesn't get blown down by the wind and the customer puts it down after getting the mail and knows mail is delivered when it's sticking up. Way better than leaving the red flag up and carrier having to stop every day even if there's no mail for that address.
@@Guywithcrazyideas Actually, I do know WHEN my mail is delivered. Aside from Christmas holidays, my carrier adheres to a strict schedule and almost always drops my mail off at/near the same time each day and for packages that won't fit in my box, I've instructed them to ring my doorbell. Informed Delivery works for me because I don't waste trips to pick up junk mail. Maybe it's not for everyone but I like the convenience of it. 🙂
Isn’t it illegal to drill a hole into a mailbox? Also a US Flag vertically has the union on the left...
I was about to say they same thing about the flag. This needs to be more discrete too. It's a great way for a thief to see that you have mail.
How can I get one???
Any one witching this in 2020
I don't understand, I bought a signal flag for my mailbox for $3.97 at Home Depot yesterday so I'm not sure what you've invented here.
