Any opinion on the three different Mail Boss lockable mail boxes; this "Mail Boss" , the Mail Boss Package Master, and the Mail Boss Mail Manager?

I purchased the Mail Boss about 3 years ago. Installation was easy, I used poured concrete for the base. It still looks virtually new. Rock solid! I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

The Mail Boss 7106 has worked very well for me. It was easy to install and no one has stolen any mail out of it. The size works well for me.

I have been perfectly happy with the MailBoss 7106. Easy to install, sturdy, large capacity. No complaints at all.

unfortunately, you can't put any outgoing mail in it. it does keep everything safe when it's incoming. :)

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.

I assume you are inquiring about the "Mail Alert" system. But yes, we also have a standard metal mailbox and it works great. We can't imagine living w/o the mail alert system anymore. Good Luck.

I wish I knew. Be wary, the envelopes are pretty crummy. None of them stay sealed.

This particular item was a given as gift. Really the whole point of having a locking mailbox is security, why would anyone want a locking mailbox if that feature could be circumvented? I myself have lived with a locking mailbox for 14 years and have always had the keys to open it on my key chain. The mail person deposits the mail through the gold tone opening and then it takes a key to access the box to retrieve the mail. The mailbox comes with two keys, and it is a generous size box that would accommodate magazines. It possibly would receive a small package like a CD video box through the gold tone opening. I'm sure even some book sized packages would fit if the mail carrier was provided a key. This particular item was a given as gift.

Value mailers. Make sure it is sent from Value Mailers and not a third party. I did this once for a 200 count order and they were not the same quality.

No lock on boxes. They pull out of slot. Each has four boxes w lids as you can see. Green side up when full. Red side up when day is done

It is actually quite ample to allow catalogs & large envelopes to fit through easily. We are extremely pleased with our box, which we purchased about 6 months ago. We get a tremendous amount of mail including catalogs & no longer have any problem with overflow or having to retrieve mail from the bushes or the top step to our home. Hope this helps you.

I have this one and the longer sofa style ones on my front porch to use as package storage. I live in town and if passers by see my packages the boxes walk off. I explained to my mail man and ups driver that I prefer they place my packages inside the seat and I will check it ( Since many orders have tracking, I am aware I have a package coming). So far it has worked fine.

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

Thick envelopes fit but not boxes. The incoming and outgoing mail slots are in the upper half of the box. The locked box for retrieving mail is in the lower half of the box.

This mailbox is much more durable than my previous metal one. We too have mailbox bashers...also snowplows that occasionally go off course. I will know more after this winter.

If you look on the cover plate it has a code. Plug that in into google and i found only web cite with an engineer type who mentioned which boxes worked. The company cite it useless. In the end its best to roll the dice and buy it. There are two types as I recall and you want to buy the older of the two models.

I have the 7506 and am very happy with it. The delivery door is large enough for medications and small packages and the bottom holds a good amount of delivered mail that fall directly to the bottom of the box.

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