Does mail get wet when it rains?

My mail has never been wet in the several months since I put up the mailbox. The door closes securely bu7t is reasonably easy to open.

No. In fact that is why I had to change mail boxes, and this is does the job. It is a nice size and fits a large 'shoe box' sized priority box inside it.

No. Not leaves wet by rain. However, unlike my previous shredder, it will shred leaves which haven't dried out - ie. green leaves.

Only been in use for maybe a month. We have had heavy rain a few times and have had no issue with the compost getting to wet. Hope this helps.

I have walked from a commuter parking lot to the buildings where my class is held and had no problem with anything getting wet. The rain drops bead up and roll off. but the distance I walk is not as far as you would probably be going on your bike, so I would say you can double check on the Timbuk2 web site - see the details on the description of the pack you want. I would also send them your question - they are great about responding via email or telephone.

No. The box is closed all around. The lid on the front prevents rain from getting in.

Have had no problems with rain. You sometimes get some of the residue stuck together in the bottom but that can be easily washed out.

My table got wet and the underside started to get soft. The surface seems to be a thin layer of metal on top of paperboard. I would not trust it in rain.

I can't say for sure for when I used it there was no rain just dew. I do really like it for the money and its tough enough for my needs. Hope it helps!

no --if it rains much the bottom of the door will have water standing in it. i have had to return several because it causes the switch to not come back on.

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

I live where it snows and MELTS FAST in the Spring. Haven't noticed any terribly wet mail. But, if it is left open even slightly your mail will be soggy.

Don't know. I'm sure the case inside the mailbox is not waterproof. However, I would guess it could handle some rain for a short period of time.

It has rained a few times really hard since I bought the mailbox. I haven't had any problems with water intrusion. Really sturdy mailbox. The only negative is that it does not come with a pole to mount it on.Mark

Just open the box and quickly remove your mail. I never had problem with rain. Changed batteries 4 times and still the unit worked only "sometimes". Today, FEB 10, the alarm DID NOT go off when the mail was delivered, BUT DID GO OFF when my wife opened the box and took the mail out. What good is that ?

If it is a large downpour, yes. They are better than most I have seen with repelling the water and drying pretty fast. We try to keep our turned over if we know it is going to rain. I love the ones that I got (floral print)

I have not had it in the rain but I don't see how water could get through; however if you have wind with rain you may get wet from the sides.
