Can anyone access the outgoing mail? i.e. no key needed? If so, that means outgoing mail could be stolen? Thank you.

Yes, no key needed for outgoing so the mailperson can retrieve it- it sits on a shelf inside.

Someone stole it from my mail box. Just left me the empty envelope and packing slip. So... I dont know.

There is a clip on the fold-down flap to hold outgoing mail. You just close the flap and raise the red flag.

I would take the mail box to a lock and key place they can remove the broken key and put a new lock in or reuse your current lock and make a new key

Thanks for your interest! Yes it does come with a lock. It will accept incoming mail, but not outgoing mail.

Not that big. The big benefit is that the mail drops down and cannot be gotten to with out a key. We have not gotten mail that does not fit in it.

No, just inside of the hatch that allows the mail to be delivered is a clip that allows the outgoing mail to be attached. I never use the outgoing feature since it likely would be a payment of some kind and the reason I got my locking box was to thwart mail theft. The same company makes a bigger box with an outdoing mail shelf.

There is no separate shelf for outgoing mail. You would have to leave it sticking out of the upper "inbox" where the mailman inserts the mail.

I have it at home. I will scan & send if you can give me an email address. Can't attach to this message.

This particular item was a given as gift. Really the whole point of having a locking mailbox is security, why would anyone want a locking mailbox if that feature could be circumvented? I myself have lived with a locking mailbox for 14 years and have always had the keys to open it on my key chain. The mail person deposits the mail through the gold tone opening and then it takes a key to access the box to retrieve the mail. The mailbox comes with two keys, and it is a generous size box that would accommodate magazines. It possibly would receive a small package like a CD video box through the gold tone opening. I'm sure even some book sized packages would fit if the mail carrier was provided a key. This particular item was a given as gift.

Hey Jenn: I am afraid that is the one bad thing about it. It has no flag or anyway to get attention about mail inside. I have just let my letter hang out to show there is mail inside.

I'm sorry, but you would have to ask the thief who stole it! I had sent it as a gift to my son and he was robbed. I had, however, asked him if he liked it and he said that he did like it and used it a lot.

To be honest Im not sure.....isn't there a number on your email receipt. You could call

Yes, a door at the top where the postman delivers the mail has a small shelf that you can use for outgoing mail. It would accommodate a stack of regular 4"x9" envelopes, but not so easily a Netflix return DVD (unless you bend their envelope) or a large legal envelope. The delivered mail slides down a little angled slide inside the mailbox into the lower section, which prevents anyone from reaching it through the door at the top. The owner uses a key to access the lower section and retrieve the mail. We're overall very happy with it.

The MailBoss can be used to send outgoing mail. Just above the secured compartment, a VERY sturdy unsecured door opens downward to reveal the drop opening for deliveries as well as a cubby-hole shelf for outgoing mail pickup.
