Is this mailbox waterproof? Does mail stay dry?

No. It is not waterproof because it has an open grid window to see that the mail is in it. Mine is on a porch so it does stay dry.

There are holes in the front for ventilation, so if there is a heavy wind and rain I suppose some mail could get a bit wet. My mailbox is hung next to my front door, with a normal 1 foot overhang for roof/gutters. I live in NJ where there is plenty of rain/snow, and I have never had a problem. My mail is always dry.

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.

the mailbox has been powered coated inside and outside. it is not water or air tight, but I have had no problems from the wind and the rain. You will need the box and post, but you don't need the spreader plate, unless you are wanting to set two mailboxes on the same post.

It is plastic so it is probably waterproof. But it is easy to pull off , so you may want to rethink using this on a mailbox.

yes, but I have only had this box assembled and outdoors for a few weeks. it also seems to do a great job of keeping out water as it is dry inside and we have had lots of rain

It is pretty waterproof. The lid has closes down over the sides so you won't get rain in that way, BUT if the lid isn't closed down correctly - as in you just let it drop - then it can let rain in it. It's a pretty flimsy box, if you put it on an uneven surface, the box will twist out of square, and you'll have to work to seat the lid correctly when you close it. That's what I think has caused some of the other reviewers to claim it isn't waterproof. Also when you open it water that puddles on lid will drip into the box, so not good for winter storage where there will be lot of ice and snow sitting on the lid. It is pretty waterproof.

Not waterproof, but water resistant. The seal on the door would probably leak if you were storing it in water.

With the flap closed, I think it would be fairly weather proof. I have it installed on a porch where it's protected, so I've never really tested it out in this way, but it's a very sturdy mailbox. If a larger package is placed inside, obviously, the lid can't be closed, and then rain could certainly get in.

I have not had mine out where it can get a ton of rain so it's been fine, but I'm sure it's probably not waterproof. It's a very simple design, plastic back has a lip that pulls away from the rock, revealing the compartment.

My application ontop of my mailbox held up the entire summer thru heavy rains, so getting it wet wouldn't be an issue if you have concerns about applying it around wet areas. Just don't spread it too thick or you'll find baby birds stuck in it. It can get pretty thick and gooey if too much is applied.

This box is not water proof.if you mount it outside you would want to drill holes in the bottom to let the water out.

I use mine to plow snow and the box is mounted above the rear tire so it does get wet. I have not had and problems.

Hi, I put mine in a water proof box from Amazon and it works just fine. I think the box I purchased was a Rainbird or another major brand. It was not expensive (the water proof box).

This box works well at keeping mail dry and is big enough for my magazines. We have had a few thunderstorms and snowstorms here since I put it up and nothing has gotten wet so I would say yes! BTW - it's not under a roof overhang.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

The manufacturer claims this is waterproof, but it isn't. I needed a doorbell for my front gate that would be exposed to sun and rain. I went thru 4 different wireless doorbells that claimed to be waterproof. None of them lasted thru a single rainy season. I solved the problem by mounting an electrical box (Bell, non-metalic, 1-gang, weatherproof, #MM420C, $8.44) to the gate, and installing the doorbell inside the box. This model actually got wet (before the electrical box cover), stopped working for a month, and then started working after it dried out. I've had this same doorbell for 2 years now without a problem. The price is great. The range is great. For me, that's 100 feet thru stucco and wood. The Chinese-to-English instructions were crappy, but the installation is simple enough without written instructions. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

I recall my younger children wetting the bed with this product ... and the mattress did stay dry. Unfortunately, after removing the encasement so many times to wash it after their accidents, it rendered the product useless. I think one of them the zipper broke and one of them melted in the dryer. We did end up replacing them after the accidents stopped. But to answer your question, I think the mattress got damp, which means it's not entirely water proof .. but it's close.

The box is sturdy but I would not trust it to be waterproof unless u r storing things that can get wet , hope this helps.
