That’s nice, but you can also get his Dr to fill out a form for you and take it to the post office stating that they will have to deliver the mail to the front porch box, that he is unable to go to the street, kinda like back in the good ol days. You’d have to attach a wall mailbox to the porch.

Hi Howard, 16 years, wow! We didn't know they have been around that long. Our Dad was having some difficulty getting to his mailbox, so we checked online to see if such an item existed. Glad to hear yours has been so durable. Thanks for letting us know!

I'm also a disabled vet and use one of these. For the most part it works great. The problem I have now is we have a new mailman that figured out how to defeat the chime. Yes, he does it intentionally. I watched him open it very slowly several times. Unbelievable how nasty some people can be for no good reason.

Hey Joseph, Thank you for serving. You all can never get enough thanks for that! I can’t believe the post man would do that. I would glue a neodymium magnet to the mail box interior by the door.They can be the size of a dime but they hold really tight. That way the post man would have to tug on the door to open it - no slowly opening it any more😃 Thx for watching.

Here is something you should look into for your dad. "Hardship" or "Medical Problems" is defined as an illness or handicap which would present a physical challenge for an individual to retrieve mail. To request door delivery, you need to write a letter requesting this change and attach a statement from a Doctor. The doctor's statement should indicate you are unable to collect your mail from a curb or centralized mailbox. Both your letter and the doctor's statement must be sent to the Post Office™ that delivers your mail for approval or denial. Final determination on whether or not door delivery will be granted will be made by the Post Office. Request letters should be addressed to: POSTMASTER UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

I tried the hardship for my Mom who has conjestive heart failure and is housebound and has the letter from the DR. and the proper form filled out. Our local Postmater is a real A$$ and won't do it, says she is faking because she sounds fine on the phone and it cost extra to pay a carrier to put in her box on her porch so she can reach it. The carrier wants to do it and said she would do it for free but her postmaster told her she can not do it. The mail is about all my Mom has left each day to look forward to. My sister has to drive across town (pass the post office) to get the mail and bring to the house. I wish I knew who the boss of the postmaster is.

Nowadays USPS sends out an email if you have any letter or package and it is called USPS Daily Digest email. It is a free service and you have to register with them. It indicates the picture of the letter so you know ahead what the letter is from or about. For the package, it indicates the tracking number.

It has its fallacies. Sometimes the nail that's "supposed to" be delivered today, won't be delivered until the next day or days. It doesn't tell you WHEN the mailbox has been opened. Living in an area where mail theft is common, the chime let's me know that the mailbox has been opened. For anyone with physical disabilities that make walking painful, this is a life altering product.

Hi Katherine, wow, sounds like you live in a pretty rough neighborhood! My Dad and his neighbor both have these mailbox sensors. No one is stealing anything from them. If a thief stole the sensor from the mailbox it would be useless because they need the receiver as well, which is inside the owner's home. Sounds like what you really need is a great security system! On our channel we have DIY videos about the Ring Video Doorbell and the SimpliSafe security system. Check them out, hope you stay safe!
