With there being no flag, how do you signal to the mailman that there's mail to be picked up?

We just put the mail in the box and our mailman picks it up even without a flag

If I need the mail carrier to take mail from my mailbox, I attach a small yellow sticky note on the envelope, stand it on end (so it can be seen) and leave the mailbox lid up.

We leave the outgoing mail on the hooks underneath, where they are visible. It's inelegant because if the wind is strong the letters fall out.

We simply put the letters to be mailed in the box - but leave an edge sticking out of the top so that the mail carrier can see it.

You can have them hold the package at the Post Office do to the weather and you just pick it up. My mailman will not leave them unless someone is home to get the box.

i would probably use a box.. it's not the envelope that will be the problem necessarily, but the way the postal people handle it, it is sure to get broken :(

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

I don't have a mounted newspaper holder on mine. Groceries ads go through the slot for mail.

yes, to put outgoing mail and for the postman to put your incoming mail thru the slot. a key is needed to open the side door to get mail out. this is the second one we have had; it's improved over the first one. more sturdy. very nice looking mailbox. you'll like it.

There is a piece for the bottom, take it out and it will fold flat. It comes flat in the mail.

The Red Flag is on one side and the Yellow (mail is here) is on the other. You can place the flags on the sides you want, whichever side is the best view for you. The size is wonderful; I can fit 2 9x7x4 mailing boxes inside with room to spare for envelopes. I love this mailbox! Saves me time & money!

would love to answer your question but USPS supposedly had it on a truck out for delivery this morning but it was a no show hopefully it's not lost

I would check with UPS. UPS is good with me. It is the FedEx guys who can not read street signs here. Maybe differant where you are.

There is two flaps on the top. The lock is under the top flap (cover) on the second flap that has a slot to allow the mail to be delivered but no one can get to it.

Mine arrived with the yellow flag in a bag, inside the mailbox. The instructions said to install it on the right side, below the red flag. I didn't need it on the left so I didn't investigate but many here say it can be on either side. That's very handy.

No, there is no direct line to the mail. When it drops in to the box it is under a small shelf that does not allow someone to grab it.

Thank you for contacting us. A package of this value would typically require a signature upon delivery. If you know you will not be home during normal delivery times we can make arrangements to have the package held for pickup at a local FedEx office but we cannot put this request in until the package is in transit.

There is a clip inside the door where the mailman's slot is. Outgoing mail goes there, but it doesn't hold alot. Yes, the mailman can easily see it.

Yes! This is the very reason I bought this. Older type of construction with metal flag and the upper and lower metal latch. Nothing cheap about this mailbox!

I just called and was told that this was due to a restriction by my local government or mail carrier and I should contact them. Ask your local USPS or mail carrier why the item is restricted.
