If mail is shoved in long ways with junk mail wrapped around it, does it get stuck up top? Current problem with mailboss box and lazy mailmen.

Not really. I have had the door catch on a large item like a newspaper circular. But these are never put in "long ways" as best I can tell. I would think that the only reason a post person would try to deposit "long ways" is if there were not enough room horizontally.

I have not had that problem in more than two years of use. There is a metal baffle attached to the back of the front door. When the door is closed, the baffle slopes downward at an angle that forces the mail to drop. It is a great box. Good luck in your search.

When you open the mail slot, it is not an open pathway to the box - the handled opening piece is an "L" piece of metal that swings out and the mail is put on that and when closed slides into the box. So mail can't be "shoved" into the box. There is plenty of room in the box itself for mail to stack up without a problem. Hope I described this so you can understand how it works. We love the box and haven't had any problem with mail getting stuck.

Hey Jenn: I am afraid that is the one bad thing about it. It has no flag or anyway to get attention about mail inside. I have just let my letter hang out to show there is mail inside.

No issues with mine. It is also a challenge to pull mail out from the delivery slot.

No. you cannot remove mail when top is locked. you must unlock, lift top. then remove mail. if u only have a magazine and letters, the mailbox is wide enough. any news paper ads r folded in half.

Yes, when you pull the front down (if you are the mailman) there is an open space for outgoing mail. I really like this feature, because you cannot see it from the street. This is a great mailbox!

This model does NOT, bigger ones do. Here's what Mail Boss Says: "If you are using with the Mail Boss or Package Master there is a universal Fast-Trak Mounting Plate included that should work with that hole pattern no problem. If you are using the Mail Manager mailbox (does not include Fast-Trak) and the holes do not align, it is fairly straight forward to use an intermediary surface such as wood."

I don't recommend 'siting it up' without a stand or support .....the weight of the mail would eventually make it unstable. I wonder if the USPS would object.

I have not had a problem with the emailing spam. However this unit was not able to handle my workload at all. I hope you have better luck with the functionality of the unit than I did.

Yes, you need to purchase a mounting bracket with this mailbox. I see that Amazon sells one but at the time I don;t recall seeing one and I purchased one from Sears Hardware. I imagine with super long screws you could secure it to a post but it would not be stable or hold up over time. I would imagine it would eventually fall off and that's only if you could secure it in the first place. Buy the mounting bracket.

Mail envelopes fit perfectly. Although regular paper will usually flop over the top, unless it's a stiffer type of paper.

I NEVER received the mailbox. Customer Service was a joke. Good luck to you!

I have a standard mail box and it fits rather snuggly. I don't think there is enough flexibility in the mount to allow it to fit over a larger mailbox.

It only takes 2 screws. It is the design where there is the wider opening of the hole where you put the box over the screw then slide the mailbox down to prevent it from falling off. Depending on your old mailbox, the screw holes might line up.

If the envelope is empty, then it might flop over, especially if it's a long envelope. However, the unit is not very wide, so you might have difficulty fitting an envelope into the unit in the first place. A regular small envelope should fit in nicely though.

There is no separate shelf for outgoing mail. You would have to leave it sticking out of the upper "inbox" where the mailman inserts the mail.

I understand your question this way: - when this mailbox is locked, mailman can drop mails in, but no hands can get any of them out until you unlock it, so it is safe. - when this mailbox is unlocked, then yes, plenty of room To me, this is a GOOD investment After I put this on, all other 3 neighbors changed their existing small boxes to this large size Hope it helps

No, just inside of the hatch that allows the mail to be delivered is a clip that allows the outgoing mail to be attached. I never use the outgoing feature since it likely would be a payment of some kind and the reason I got my locking box was to thwart mail theft. The same company makes a bigger box with an outdoing mail shelf.
