Not mixing your concrete with water before poring it in is a bad idea. It'll be brittle and won't last as long. No matter how long you let it soak, it'll never be 1/10 as good as mixed. Using dry is bearly better than just using plain dirt.

I have mounted mailboxes,Birdhouses, and afew other fairly liteweight items using no concrete, or any other stuff.When I install a 4x4 wooden post I dig a hole about 2-2/12 ft deep pack it with dirt and rocks till full and they hold up against everything except being hit by cars and farm equipment.

But dude, speaking as a rural carrier, don't ever buy that mailbox. Get a plastic one (eventually the door on a metal one will become difficult to close), and oversized. With e-commerce, you want at least a modest size box to fit in there. People who don't have a porch or other covering will have a box sit on their front porch or driveway and possibly get rained on later in the day before you get home (the PO does not supply bags for the carriers).

You used the level wrong... Should use it vertically to make sure it is square and plumb.. You then secure the bracing at the post down to a stake to hold it once square and plumb.... Your braces may have helped keep it square but not both square and plumb.. It is also advised to make the hole 3 times the diameter of the post to ensure enough of a concrete base.
