I live in a 4 unit townhouse. I have a" back unit". Mail box is approx.80 '. 35' to road, 45' to box on post with 3 others. Will it work in this case

Wish I could answer that for sure. I know this works better than any other unit I have bought and my mailbox is over 100' away, but, I do believe you cannot have big obstructions, such as a hill so not sure about buildings. You would not have direct line of sight? That might be questionable then unless you wanted to mount it outside.

This chime works great for us! We can't see mailbox from inside the house. House is built on hill, mailbox is at base of hill at street level. It was up/down 26 stairs to check the box. A good exercise but nasty during rain squalls (Pac. NW). You may have to play a bit with antenna direction, and volume control. This definitely gets top marks, I would recommend to anyone who is tired of making multiple trips to check their mail.

The only way I could get unit to work was to take it off of the mail box and shake it real hard. I reported it to the seller and they issued full credit-said they had prior problems with this device.

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

I think it will work if your mailbox door opens and closes...and the unit sits inside and will be triggered by the opening and closing of your mailbox door. Otherwise, you may have to asked the maker if it will work.

I would not expect it to. The Amazon site claims "Motion detecting range 40 ft Operating range up to 800 ft" Can you place the sensor within the 40 ft of the mailbox? I would expect yes and it would definetly sense the car. However you want the receiver 300 yards away. I believe that would be 900 ft which is 100 feet beyond an ideal case line-of-sight no obstruction situation which is the norm for a manufacturers specification. My general experience would suggest that if you get half (400ft) the rating under good conditions, you're lucky.

USPS regulations require the mailbox to be between 41 & 45 inches off the ground, so I am surprised that the local post office can require 48 inches. Our mailbox sits about 42 inches above ground, but is up on 3 inch curb, so it's 45 inches above the road. If your mailbox sits on a curb, I suggest asking the post master whether you measure from the road level or the ground level on which the mailbox sits. I know the mailbox height is adjustable, and the Hampton people should know if it can be set as high as 48 inches

I believe it would. I put a jumbo mailbox on mine and it fits and looks great. Love the post.

Yes, this mailbox requires an adaptor specifically designed for this mailbox to be attached to a 4 x 4 wooden post. They sell this adaptor on Amazon. It is required and it really stabilizes the mailbox on the 4 x 4 wooden post. Really simple to install, fits like a glove, and it looks nice. Good Luck!

Hi, I just used my old mailbox, which is six & half inches wide by nineteen inches long. Remember you still need a mounting boardto attach the mailbox to the post.

The door to retrieve your mail is in the back. I would recommend a post. You would have to side mount which doesn't seem practical.

It varies carrier to carrier. You would have to check with the shipping carrier to see how packages are delivered in your neighborhood. If you have ordered just this item it should fit in a standard postal mail box.

As I remember, the mailbox has a recessed area on the bottom. I cut a board to fit the recess, about 3/4" thick. With the board then mounted on the top of the post that's in the ground. I placed the mailbox on the board & screwed through the overhang, into the board. It makes it secure.

It would have to work only on a slot mailbox that has some type of mechanism that allows the motion sensor to be moved. I use a "driveway alert" fixed motion sensor that is perfect. When the mail is dropped into the slot, the mail slips past the sensor and it triggers the "alert" to send a signal to the receiver in the house.

Absolutely. Mine is a large standard metal box, about 200 feet away from my house. Works flawlessly.

I suppose it depends on how much space you have between post and swinging gate?

I believe it will. The length and height are no problem. My mail box width is 8 inches but the mounting platform that the mail box screws into is expandable widthwise.

This is not for a 4x4 post...either square or round........its for a metal pole or a wood pole like you would use in your closet. Either square or round will work as long as the pole is under about 2 "It really keeps the nest safe. ..from everything

This is a large mailbox. Not standard size. See measurements and compare to standard mailbox. I don't know the size of the area you are wanting to put this in, but it's NOT the size of standard mailbox, much larger.

Britne: I just saw your question since I was out of email range for a while. I have no way to be sure, but I would guess an 18.5 mailbox might be a bit much for this mounting post. However, if you go under the manufacturer's specs it should tell you what the post is designed to support.

Depends on the size of the mailbox but on regular size mailbox, yes it would fit. Also we ship discreetly !! Let us know if you have any additional questions, Jessica@ Joeandjoyce
