how does it handle rain getting in my mailbox when it is opened?

Rain has not been a problem. The mail box lid is not opened very long. I love mine.

This product never worked even the first time. I would recommend do not purchase.

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?

Shouldn't be a problem since the transmitter box is fairly tight and should not allow water to get inside to electronics.

Don't know. I'm sure the case inside the mailbox is not waterproof. However, I would guess it could handle some rain for a short period of time.

This thing never worked even once. I would highly recommend that you do not buy it. Sorry.

You must it mounted so its that not can wet....And for users have problems with working It is possible that the unit 180 rotation must. Mistake in the user manual

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

I have not had a problem at all with water getting in. Ours is on an open patio, subject to all elements of weather, rain, snow, sleet, ice (OHIO!) and have never gotten water in it. It's a great storage box!

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.

The opening on the top would let rain in, but you can put plastic on that opening

Yes, but it's on a covered porch. There are some peek holes on the front to see if you have mail, which might allow some rain to dampen the mail.

I would say yes! Based on our experience with the mailbox located in the all-season Midwest, with outside placement, we have yet to have wet, let alone damp mail like we used to with the old one. Extremely sturdy, well crafted, and beautiful color (much less orange than photo). Highly recommend this product to anyone!

I have not had a problem with any mail getting stuck at the top with the MailBoss box that we have. I guess you can't control the lazy mailmen, though.

Hi,We've not test it out on real situations. But on the comments of other users it seems that the rain only can go trough the front door when it's windy.Kind Regards

I use a rain cover for mine. It can only take a minimal amount of rain (i.e. small drizzle).

I have mine on an open air porch so it gets a little bit of rain on it. I haven't had any issues with rain bothering it. It wouldn't hurt to put a coat of protectant on it if it will be outside though.

Good question, it is well made and mostly sealed but I put a small piece of tape on the top end of the doorbell just in case a small amount of moisture gathered. I am not concerened about rain as it is under my gutter area but blowing snow may be another issue

No. There is an opening in the top--sort of an inverted handle. So it lets in rain and leaves, etc.

I live where it snows and MELTS FAST in the Spring. Haven't noticed any terribly wet mail. But, if it is left open even slightly your mail will be soggy.

The old does not keep rain out. When it rains, my bin floods and then there is a little river of compost water running out the little door on the front.

No it does not. I have not had any concerns with that or with rain. I am extremely pleased with this product.
