Wireless Mailbox Alert Chime

You’ve got mail! Or not. You really don’t know until you go out and open up your mailbox. There’s an easier way to find out without having to venture out into the elements- get the Smarthome SELECT Wireless Mailbox Reminder and Mail Alert System. This device simply alerts you any time your mailbox is opened. All you need to do is attach the sensor to the inside door of most standard mailboxes with the double-sized adhesive strip.

When your mailbox is opened, it sends a wireless signal out up to 300 feet to the receiver. The receiver gives you both a visual and an audio alert when the mailbox is accessed. The light will stay on until you reset it, ensuring that you definitely know that mail has been delivered.

With the mailbox alert system you can avoid unnecessary trips out to the mailbox. You can get an alert in case your mailbox is opened during non-delivery hours which can prevent stolen mail and possible identity theft. No need to continuously check outside to see if that passing vehicle was a mail truck or not. When your mail is delivered, you will know. Would also work if you use a similar style mailbox for your newspaper delivery.

Man Builds Giant .44 Magnum Mailbox

Amurica! Land of the free, where you are free to build any type of mailbox you want (as long as it conforms with certain USPS regulations). Well one New Jersey man took it to the extreme and built himself a 350 pound (plus a 1200 pound base!) Smith and Wesson .44 Magnum mailbox. Of course, it helps that he’s a cabinet maker and metal fabricator.

The barrel of the gun was made from 8 inch PVC pipe and it took him 4 months to build it in his spare time- an hour or two a day. The cylinder is mounted on ball bearings and spins in the breeze. Nice work. (via)

Mac Mailbox

Well that’s certainly one good way to reuse and old computer case! This Mac Mailbox holds that snail mail in a Power Mac G4 case. Perhaps it’s full of Dell catalogs or computer repair specialist flyers. I’m not even sure how it opens- maybe it’s an intercom even? Maybe not. And it looks surprisingly weatherproof.
