GottaCruz Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Thanks for the post, Joey. Great info. We've actually used this when we sailed 7 day cruises and I didn't want my neighbor to be bothered taking care of the mail for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacp Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I agree with you Joey.........thanks for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailingrose Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Great info but I don't trust my mailman.........Not all of them just this one! He's awful but they refuse to move him from our route. He reads our ads and magazines before we get them. I've seen him doing it in the park across from our house.......... Hope you all have great mailpersons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercedes Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 My DH and I installed this mailbox last June for a number of reasons. We were going to be in Europe for a month, the post office would only hold our mail for two weeks and we did not want to bother our neighbor with the task of getting our mail every day. We just remove the slot and the mail goes to the bottom of the mailbox. It holds about a week of mail so my neighbor just had to get it once a week. I have heard of incidents when you put a hold on your mail and the mail persons would tell their friends that you are out of town and they would break into your house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketwatch Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 :cool: Here we do put a hold on the mail but am unaware of any time limit. We have gone as long as 3-4 weeks w/o a problem. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilrosie Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 That is scary to know that your mailman reads your mail...I have a guy that I totally trust...he feeds and lets the dog out to potty for me...so he grabs my mail for me...He has been doing it for years now...I friend of mine he also takes sons to school for me...Hmm..I need to buy him a thank you gift from the caymans while I"m there... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
