There's a small slot for outgoing mail in the top when you pull down the front.

The MailBoss can be used to send outgoing mail. Just above the secured compartment, a VERY sturdy unsecured door opens downward to reveal the drop opening for deliveries as well as a cubby-hole shelf for outgoing mail pickup.

When you lift the lid the lock is underneath. Under the lid, there is a metal piece with the lock on it and a slot for the mail to be put in by the postal service. To remove your mail you need to unlock it. We removed this piece because it's not necessary to lock up our mail.

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.

Underneath the top lid. The top raises up from the front to expose a locking lid with a mail slot for postal delivery to drop in.Be aware, the box is only locked to prevent lazy theifs. It is not a "secure" mailbox as the hinges to both are accessible by raising the top lid.

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!

You give them a key to the box - they open the bottom and take out your outgoing mail

There are two compartments and, yes, only the lower compartment is locked. The mail carrier uses the hinged pull-down door on the upper compartment to place incoming mail. When he/she closes the door, the mail "theoretically" drops down to the lower locked compartment, which is where you unlock and retrieve your mail. It works like a miniature version of those big blue US Post Office mailboxes common on street corners. Small packages (such as a box of checks from your bank) will fit, but larger parcels will not. My carrier leaves larger boxes on my porch. (P.S. I say "theoretically" because often the mail does not drop down to the bottom compartment right away, but if you open the top door again it does. So a potential thief cannot get to it by slowly opening the top compartment, as the mail will fall down to the lower compartment if he/she tries. Trust me, I have tried this strategy unsuccessfully on several occasions when I have forgotten my mailbox key!)

We stand our mail up directly in the box and leave the lid open. The mail carrier takes the outgoing mail and then replaces it with the incoming mail. That's generally how it works, even when you have rural rout. There's just no flag.

This will be delivered via truck and dropped off outside. They usually call you in advance to schedule the delivery.

This is not a high-security mailbox; it is a high-volume mailbox when the rectangular floor is removed; it is a normal mailbox with the floor in place. The only key is to open the back door (or front if mounted the other way around) to retrieve the stack of mail in the base (when in high-volume mode).- YOU put the rectangular floor in for normal use.- YOU remove the rectangular floor for high-volume use. You can just drop the floor into the hole and retrieve it with the mail later.In high-volume mode, the mail drops down pretty far but some might be able to reach down and get it. But then, a determined thief can defeat any of these mailboxes that are commonly available.

The door is held with friction fit, the door is inset with a sill over it and keeps all the weather and plow slush out.Love the "you have mail" indicator, so I can tell at a glance when the box has been opened / mail received.

The sending unit has a sticky strip on it that you can peel paper off and then stick it directly to the mailbox door. However, what I did was attached Velcro to the unit and the other side of the Velcro to the mailbox door. That makes it easier to remove the unit if I need to. I don't know if it really matters, we'll see.

Usually when I order something via Amazon Prime they deliver it to my front porch and that's it. However, this one is a signature delivery, so, you may have to talk to the UPS guy and ask him if he would help you carry it upstairs. Sometimes they just walk upstairs with the form for the delivery.

Mail can only be accessed from the rear locked door. BTW, we love our box. It holds a lot of mail.

They are delivered via freight truck. Freight truck delivers to the end of the truck. You need to have your own arrangements to get item to the end location. thanks.
