Five Reasons Why Your Mail Gets Wet And How Our Dry Mesh Insert Solves Them?

There are many reasons why mail gets wet inside a curbside mailbox, among these we focus on the five most important reasons and how our Dry Mesh Insert fixes the problems.

  1. The mail delivery person leaves the mailbox door open just 1 millimeter.  This opening is enough for water to penetrate the mailbox and get the floor wet in the event of rain and/or nearby sprinklers.

  2. The wind blows the door open during stormy weather.  This event happens all the time and is very common for mails to get damaged. 

  3. The spouse and/or kids collect the mail and do not close the door fully.  This is a very common situation which will let water get inside the mailbox and when the mailperson delivers the mail, the next day, the mailbox floor is wet due to rain, humidity and/or nearby sprinklers.

  4. Malfunctioning mailbox door due to many factors.  It is very common to see mailboxes with doors that are too loose, old, and/or damaged.  This will lead to water intrusion which will cause mail to get wet.

  5. Vandalism by young kids just because.  In some instances, kids playing around with unwanted pranks do leave the mailboxes open, in their neighborhood, on purpose when they know rain is forecasted. 

The above-mentioned reasons are the most common ones that cause mail to get wet and damaged.  The Dry Mailbox Mesh Insert prevents the mail from getting wet by elevating the mail above the floor by 1 inch.  This patented device will protect your mail because it has a ray of openings that will allow water to drain to the mailbox floor without the mail wetting wet.  The Dry Mesh Insert is composed of 2 separate pieces that slide to fit mailboxes that are 21 inches long.  Also, this device has an accordion center pattern that allows it to expand sideways from 6 inches up to 9 inches depending on the mailbox width.

Thanks to the Dry Mailbox Insert, mail delivery persons are extremely happy because the amount of complains to their supervisors (for water damaged mail) have dropped significantly.
