Can this be used as a classroom mailbox? (adults, not children, would be placing the mail into the slots)

It may be to hard to label to where the label is visible. In theory it would work though. Remember it is made of cardboard though.

It would hold papers and newsletters, however, there is no effective method to label the slots without obstructing the cubbies, the dividers are too small.

Yes...that is why I bought it. The only drawback for me is that there were only 15 mail slots and I saw my class enrollment go up to 17. That's why I decided to go with the plastic trays.

It's pretty deep, but I'd say yes. As long as you aren't shoving small envelopes in the slot. It'd work great for papers and flyers.

It could be, however, the slots are deep (paper length) and small items may get lost. Also, it is cardboard and could not take a lot of abuse. Daily putting in and taking out of mail may wear it out.

I use it for my student mailboxes. It's cheaper and just as good quality as the more expensive ones!

You can't. You are correct I am using it for fuel delivery receipts, not as a mailbox. Its preety small for a mailbox anyway. And very inexpensively made.

It completely would depend on the size and how sturdy the gate is. The mailbox is heavy and would need a stout mounting post

not really. you could put something sticking out of the main slot but nothing specific for outbound mail.

Yes - I just tried it - a music CD will fit in the mailer - although I can say that I would probably try to put some cardboard around it so the jewel case wouldn't get cracked (by a direct hit!). The bubbles aren't thick enough for that kind of protection. If you put some cardboard on top/bottom, you'd probably be OK - there's not a whole lot of extra room on the sides though...

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.

Yes you can. A stainless bar goes along behind the wooden squares. It's tough if you are loaded with mail.

Hmm.. I didnt have my ruler with me, but if mailbox is open, you can put whole hand until elbow deep inside. And its hole wide enough to put inside an magazin. I hope it helps. Any kind of maol will fits. But boxes didnt - just because that mail slot just good enough for an medium thick package.

I don't see why you couldn't; the part that you overlap you would have to get a longer mail cause they are short and with the metal spot to put the screw it wouldn't work with the mail it comes with. It is more of trap material instead of cloth which was a surprise to me but makes it durable

If you put it under a covered area it might be OK but . . . the slot is ON TOP so any rain or insects might get in it. It does not seem like it would hold up well to be outside (made of steel that seems like it could rust and not real heavy duty), although it might be OK in a covered area (but again, bugs?). I have mine just inside the apartment primary entrance where the mailboxes are located so not outside.

It will work fine, it is adjustable for different thinknesses. You will need to cut a rectangular hole for box to drop in. It has a template for you to use. It is a pretty easy job.

Mine is installed against a wall, not on a post. A newspaper will jam the slot open possibly if pushed in from one end. It will not drop down into the box. It is intended for regular mail. It might be best to add some sort of holder under the unit or possibly lay the paper on top if the unit is fastened to a wall.

Definitely can be post-mounted, in fact the mailbox comes with the mounting plate, a "Patented Fast-Trak Mounting Plate for easy installation on existing posts in minutes." But if you are talking about a solid column, such as brick or stone, in which the box is embedded, (surrounded by the other material) I don't see any reason why it couldn't be, except that you'd have to be careful to leave enough room at the very bottom for the door to swing open.

I bought it for school use and I would probably put it in a vise for my students. It is fairly heavy, so it could be used by itself if you are careful.

The mounting holes are 5.5 inches apart. I see no way you could mount a mailbox on it though. Good luck!

i think they're about 3 1/2 inches. they are ideal for mail, we use them as mailboxes for our regional offices. the width is right at 8 1/2 x11 so if the textbooks were any wider than that it probably wouldn't work for you.

I would say yes for the boxes, but not for the animal shapes. Great idea! The paper is pretty sturdy, but you may want to stick a piece of tape on the bottom for support.
