Most of us just leave our mail sitting in the box until we remember to pick it up; you might forget until after dark. This is actually a bad idea because of the potential for mail theft. Someone who rummages through your mailbox could even get enough information from your mail to perpetrate identify theft on you.
It’s basically a sensor that you mount in your mailbox, and then you set the wireless receiver anywhere in your home. When the mailbox door is opened and the mailman delivers your goodies (or, in my case, bills), a chime will sound to alert you right away. (This would also be a good way to catch mail thieves if anyone has been tampering with your box of late.)
