Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

When the weather is poor here in Michigan, I don't need to go into the elements for the mail until I hear the signal.

I wanted to purchase 5 more but I was too late!!!

I can't recommend it because it is not being sold any more.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

At first the MailMinder kept falling off when the mail carrier put mail in the box. (or he was knocking it off). The sticky was not strong enough to adhere to the plastic door. I used velcro on the MailMinder & on the mailbox door & it stays on great now. Will be easy to change the battery also. Love the loud tune it plays, but don't know what it is. It plays for several seconds, which is nice. Thanks for a cool product.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Installed in thin metal mailbox that (naturally) faces the street. With no other significant interference/shielding, the signal fails to get through to the receiver all too often (both of first two days and about 30% of the time, overall). The reset button does not silence the chime in progress -- a minor annoyance. When it works, it's great! Should be fine with a plastic mailbox.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Never miss the mailman again. This handy gadget chimes to let you know when the mailbox door is opened. The chime has a high/low setting which is nice if the user is hard of hearing. After a few chimes the unit shuts off but a red light blinks on the receiving unit until you shut it off. No more fruitless trips to the mailbox.
It's well worth the money.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The MailMinder saves unnecessary trips to check mailbox and the announcement "tune" can be heard in most parts of the house.

Only two possible improvements: 1)Repeat the announcement tune every 30 minutes or so, 2)Let me choose a tune to play -- I'd like to add "Mr. Postman"

Very happy with performance, but, I would make these suggestions to improve it:

Mold key to LED Flash Patterns into receiver (or add a label) so user will know differences (long after the paper instructions are gone).

Do same for battery requirements.

Those would make a great product even better!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I live in an all metal mobile home and that has not prevented the transmission of the alert of
my mail box door being opened.

Due to the possible roughness of the mail being placed in the mail box, I recommend reinforcing the (supplied)two side stick down tape to possibly be reinforced with a strong (quick drying) glue.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

You need to remember to turn off the base unit after you pick up the mail -- otherwise the unit will be set off when you pick it up. A nice feature would be a time delay. You see the base unit was set off. You reset it -- and then it gives you 15 Minutes to get the mail so you don't have to reset it again.

Two issues. One was the little box that goes on your mailbox door had to be installed in the reverse of the arrows that are on the box. Also, I get lots of false postives including some in the middle of the night. I have since started resetting it only a few hours before the mail comes otherwise I will get a false alarm in the middle of the night.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

This darling little mailbox signals you with a pleasant classical melody! The kids love to run to get the mail when they hear it - and that is really helpful! My husband appreciates knowing when the mailperson is here at our driveway, so he can wave at him or her to stop and take a package to be mailed. Our mail delivery time is so varied from day to day, so it is great to know when our mail has arrived so we don't leave it outside too long for possible theft.

A few times, we were happily surprised to hear the signal go off a second time in one day, when the mailperson made another swing down our street with a forgotten package for us found at the back of the mail truck! Without the Mail Minder, we wouldn't know to get it from the mailbox until the next day!

Our mail carrier told me she wishes all the elderly people on her route who have to cross busy streets to retrieve their mail could have these installed on their mail boxes. It is such an effort for them to go out to check for their mail, and they should only have to do this when it has actually arrived! Especially in cold, rainy weather or on the hottest desert days!

I have given this great Mail Minder device to several friends and relatives, and they, in turn, have bought more as gifts for others! My neighbor is an accountant who works at home, and I gave her one for Christmas! She really appreciates knowing exactly when her client's checks arrive in her mail box. And since we both get signaled to go outside just a few moments apart, we get to wave and see each other more often!

And, when we have been out for the day, we sometimes come home too tired to think of checking our mail box. But when we notice the red light flashing on the Mail Minder, which is hanging on the kitchen wall near the pantry, we realize the mail is still outside waiting for us.

I enjoy hearing the "Fur Elise" musical tune signal us every day, and now I don't know how our household could do without it!

Thank you, Step 2, for making a terrific product! It just makes our day more efficient and fun - - - every day!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Living in the suburbs our mail is delivered anywhere from 1 PM to 3:30 PM, so before purchasing the MailMinder we never knew when our mail was being delivered so we would hike down our 200-foot driveway one to three times daily to see if it was delivered. Now, when the mail carrier opens the mailbox, the alarm goes off and we only have to make one trip. While we don’t mind the exercise, we really appreciate having the MailMinder on snowy, blistery days. Besides being an inexpensive time saver, the quality of the MailMinder is top notch and takes up very little space on our kitchen counter. People who saw the MailMinder at our house were so impressed with it we purchased two additional units as gifts. We’ve been using our MailMinder for over six months using the batteries that came with it. You can not beat the deal at Step 2, which includes delivery. Both of our orders were delivered within three days. We give both Step 2 and the MailMinder “Five Stars.”

Now with the mail minder they hear a chime when the mail arrives and if they aren't near the mailminder a light flashes to let them know the mail has been delivered.

Works great! We have a plastic mailbox that is about 100 feet from the inside receiver. It even worked with the receiver inside a wooden seat under the bay window. When on low the chime is quite loud. I put some wax over the speaker and it is now perfect. I also reinforced the transmitter with some duck tape as it was applied in freezing temperatures. My neighbors have a much more expensive transmitter, but for a fifth of the price this one works just as well. I'm going to get one for my parents too.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Works Ok most of the time, sometimes it doesn't go off when mail is left. Not sure if it's due to cold weather or just that mail carrier opens and closes mailbox faster than it can react. Guess we'll find out in a few months.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The brochure stated that the MailMinder works best with plastic mailboxes and may not work with metal mailboxes. I have a metal mailbox and the MailMinder has alerted me every time when the mail arrives. It plays a pleasant chime sound but I wish it wouldn't play again when you retrieve your mail. I also like the secondary alert with the flashing light as I am not always home when the mail arrives and it is a quick way to check without having to go to the mailbox itself.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I really like this mailminder. It is great because I never have to wonder if the mail came or not. If it's a rainy day, I just wait for the chime to go off and then go to get it when I am ready. If it's a sunny day, i don't have to go out and get sweaty just to find no mail. It makes things super easy.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I just love this product! Our mailbox is hidden by a humongous tree, so I was always going to get the mail before the mailman arrived. He is not on a daily time schedule. I'd be so upset when it was raining, sleeting, or snowing when I'd get to the box only to find that he hadn't arrived yet. Now I never have to worry! The chime is heard throughout the house so I never miss hearing it. I love that it has the blinking light to remind us to reset it for the next time. Thank you so much for this wonderfully convenient yet inexpensive product!

I live in the country and occasionally have problems with people messing with my mailbox. This works as advertised. My mailbox is across the street and about 120 feet from the receiver. In addition to alerting me when the mail has arrived it has also scared away a few would be culprits when I left the window open and the tone on high as it is quite loud.

Purchased this item last June. I went out of town for four months and failed to remove the batteries. On my return the warning light just flashed incessantly. I ordered a new one for [$]and free shipping. An offer I couldn't refuse.But "just in case" I called customer service out of curiosity and was advised the batteries were probably dead. I was able to purchase replacement batteries at a very reasonable price and VOILA! my little sentinel is back at work. I will donate the new "mail monitor" to my elderly neighbor. I love this product.

Whoever came up with the design deserves a medal. I recommend a mail minder to everyone. Thanks for the great product.

Relatively small size and effective solution to these rural mailbox issues.

The mailminder works just as described. I purchased this for my parents. They cant wait to hear the music each day. I did however read several neg. reviews on the double sided sticky tape not working properly. So right from the start I used an industrial sticky tape purchased elsewhere. No problems yet, and like I said they love this thing. No more wondering if the mail has come yet, or several trips, especially in icy weather. Liked it so much that I purchased another for my 89 year old Grandmother for Christmas. Try it, you'll love it!

This product has made my life easier and my very large dog happier. Had to restrict when he could go out if I was expecting a large package in the mail. Problem is that the delivery is not at the same time, and I would not know if they had put something in the mailbox and all was clear for the dog. Now I hear the happy little tune as soon as the mailbox door is opened across the street. Cold does not seem to bother it. No complaints at all. I have been telling everyone they need one!

Our mail runs at different times of the day and is never consistent. This lets us know when the mail has arrived. It did not work one day for some reason.

It is fun to have and I would spend [$] again for it.

This unit signals mail delivery by sensing movement of the mailbox door. My previous unit sensed light when the door was opened. This made useless in the winter when mail is often delivered after dark. Your unit also has excellent range despite being inside a heavy steel mailbox. The only complaint is that the tune it plays is annoying (very minor).

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I finally ordered this product after I had been wanting one for quite a few months. My mailman never comes around the same time everyday... he delivers the mail anywhere between noon and 4pm. Rather than go back and forth to the mailbox a few times during the day (especially on rainy and cold or snowy days), this device signals when the mail has arrived. Part of it sticks on the door of the mailbox and the other part you keep inside. When the door of your mailbox is opened, it signals the device inside. The only con I can think of is the signal is really loud, even on the lowest setting... but this isn't really a big con because I can hear the signal even if I'm in the basement doing laundry. Overall a great item!!!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The Mail Minder is a most useful gadget. When the postman open the mailbox door, the receiver in the house plays a little tune until he closes the door. Then a red light blinks on the receiver until it is turned off. It saves me many useless steps, especially in inclement weather, to check the mail.
The receiver, which is about the size of a deck of cards sits nicely on my window sill.

This product has saved me many wasted steps to the mail box to see if the mail came. One change I had to make, the double faced tape did not hold for long so instead of using more tape I cleaned both surfaces & glued the sender to the mail box door. Works great. One change would make this better, stops working when battery voltage drops to about 11.9 volts would be nicer if it would operate down to maybe 11.0 volts

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The MailMinder is a great way to know when anyone is tampering with your mailbox. The price is so low that you wouldn't think it would work reliably. Not so. I've been using my original MailMinder for almost 2 years and the only thing I've had to do to it is change the batteries. It's more than worth the price so I just bought two more to give to my friends.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The MailMinder is a very handy inexpensive device that lets you know when your mail is being delivered. No wasted steps to check to see if the mail was delivered, especially on rainy and snowy days. Alarm works great between our house and the mail box which is 145 feet away. Has a high/low sound switch, but no on/off switch so you don’t have to worry and wonder if it is turned on or off. Five Stars all the way.

Great unit. My mail box is 140 ft. away so I know when mail has arrived.

The sticky tape when hot lets the unit on mail box door fall off, so I used double sided automotive tape from W-Mart to stick it on, never fell off any more.
sound is VERY LOUD even in low position, so I took a piece of tape & put over the grill to help lower the sounds.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

My father died not long ago and he had a homemade flip-flag on the mail-box. He had the mail-box in a curve and too close to the road, and it kept getting hit by traffic. My mother was use to a signal when mail was in the box and I wanted to make her a unseen signal. The cost of this would have been close to [$] and the range would have been a gamble along with things that may block the signal. I ordered the MailMinder because of all the great feed-back and the price of the product. My mother's mail-box is metal and about 150ft. from her kitchen where she seems to spend most of her time. The MailMinder works very well at that distance, and the sticky tape is doing just fine also. This is a gift that our parents or elderly friends can appreciate six days a week. I am 100% pleased of this product and wish I could give this to every elderly person there is.

I bought this product for 2 reasons: First, for its intended use of letting us know when the mail is here (we have a 200-foot walk to mailbox), and, second, to allow my husband to signal me when he is returning from walking the dog twice a day so I don't have to sit and watch out the window. Sadie is in training and has always been on a leash. When they make the turn up the driveway after their walk, my husband will let her go and I will stand on the porch and clap my hands and call her so she can get a little running in. She has never strayed off into the woods, probably because she knows her breakfast or dinner is waiting!

I purchased the Step2 Mail Master Mailbox and thought the Mail Minder would be a great addition to our new mailbox. I WAS RIGHT!! If the Mail box itself was the best purchase I made for the year, then the Mail Minder would have to be the second best. First of all the assembly was so quick & easy. Whenever the mailbox door is opened, we here a very audible chiming to let us know. Even if we're not around to hear the original chime notification, there's a red light that continues to blink so that you know the mail was delivered. This product was WELL WORTH the money. [...]

Since we cannot see our curbside mailbox from the house, and since we all are advised to no longer raise flags denoting outgoing mail, the MailMinder is an indispensable tool for us and for most of our neighbors. We have bought one for everyone living nearby and each of us loves hearing the loud melody in the house telling us our mail has just been delivered. No more wasted trips to the mailbox in the rain or snow just to check and no need to wait until late in the day just to check.

Eliminates useless trips to the mailbox in deep snow- just what I needed! I have a Step2 plastic mailbox and bought the version specifically for this kind of mailbox- it is better than the universal model type because the transmitter is secured not only by double sticky tape but also set screws- very easy to install and transmitter cannot fall off! Original transmitter was defective (battery clips did not line up causing transmitter to not work when battery cover installed). Step2 promptly sent a replacement!!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

We have a fairly long driveway and having the MailMinder keeps us from having to run up and down to the mailbox all afternoon. It's super easy to install and the receiver is small enough to place just about anywhere and it won't ugly up your decor!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I'm a stay at home mom who LOVES this product!!! I hate running out to the mail box to see if the mail has come yet. & trying to plan a trip to the mail box around my babies sleep schedule. Now, the short & pleasent chime notifies me when the mail has come. Also, if we didn't hear it or we weren't home, the red light flashes until we reset it. It has totally freed up my time running to and from the mail box! YAY! Plus, it's nice to be the FIRST one out to the mailbox! ;)

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

The mail alert arrived well packaged, complete with easy instructions. I read the reviews of others, prepared to elimate any of the instalation glitches a few others encountered by having extra strong 2 sided tape and a small thin phillips screwdriver. The mail alert installed easy, works great in testing, a very good value [...] We have other motion alert devices installed that the mail mail alert does not seem to interfere with, we were hoping for that extra big plus benefit. [...] Thank You Step2, well done.

I purchased this product a few years ago for my father so he wouldn't make unnecessary trips to the mailbox before the mail arrived.

I got a description and contacted the police. It's great to know if anyone opens your mailbox!

My mailbox is about 200 feet from the house and with no obstructions chimes perfectly. I just wish I could turn off the chime and just use the red light as a notifier. I think the chime is too loud, when someone might be asleep. My husband works shifts so he sleeps during the day.

Installed in minutes and never fails to notify us when the mail arrives. Never false activates. Range is 100' to our mailbox. After using double stick tape I did put some soft pliable putty around the unit to insure that it will stay in place (coax antenna seal). You can't go wrong with this unit and will save you from checking your mailbox frequently on days when the mail is delayed!

I bought this for my elderly father. One of the highlights of his day is the arrival of the mail.

He has even bought a spare and our mail-lady is recommending it to other rural customers like Dad.

I gave this as a gift to my mother, aunt, and great aunt, all who are widowed and live in the mid-west. It so nice that they now know when their mail has arrived before walking out to the box in the cold slick winter conditions.
The pieces look much larger in pictures than they really are. It's nice that they are so small and discrete.
The only thing I wish is that the signal went further. My mailbox is about 450-500 feet from my house, and it just won't reach that far.

It really serves it's purpose well. I would only change two things about it. I would like to have a volume control for the chime because it's not extremely loud but I would like to be able to quieten it when the baby is sleeping. The other thing I would change is the blinking light... I would like it to blink more frequently stay solid. Sometimes I glance at it and don't see it blink because there is about 3-4 seconds between blinks.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

I have had several different types of mail box alerts, none worked as reliably as this. Most were light activated, unlike these which are motion activated. And, about half the time the other types didn't even go off when the door was opened in broad daylight. So, if the mailbox door was opened at night, or the mailbox vandalized, or bumped by a car, or even run over at night, you never knew it til the morning. This has gone off several times at night, nosey neighbors or kids opening the mailbox, and let me know three times when someone backed into the mailbox and tried to drive off. That would not have happened with the other types on the market. It not only adds convenience by letting you know when the mail is delivered, it adds piece of mind and security. The only thing to make it better would be to sell a version with TWO senders for the double door mailboxes they sell.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Front inside door of MailMaster Deluxe has a lot of embossing on the plastic surface and very difficult to find a flat surface area to mount the MailGuard with the adhesive strip supplied. Unit has fallen off twice. It would have been better if flanges were attached to MailMinder so the unit could be fastened to the front inside surface securely using the existing three self tapping screws on the inside surface of the door.

Step2 Response: There are two versions of this item to choose from -- the one "For Step2 Mailboxes" attaches permanently to a flange on Step2 Mailbox doors.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

My husband is disabled and hard of hearing. This mail notification system is a God send to us. Now there is no guess work on whether the mail has come or not. It plays a song when the mail is put in the box, and is loud enough for him to hear. If he doesn't hear it, there also is a blinking red light that will continue to blink until the button is pushed. Thank you for such a good product! We are very gratful!

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Everything about his product is great, but they need to increase the range and the power of the transmitter, so you can place the receiver anywhere in the house and be confident that it will work.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

It meets all of my expectations. I no longer make useless trips to the mailbox, this mail notification system tells me the box has been opened. As bonus I also now have a way of knowing when someone other than the mailman opens the box.

Comments about Step2 MailMinder Mail Notification System:

Really love this product! But it does need a direct signal to alert you.. (window nearby) we at first tried this in a converted garage area with no window.. and it wouldn't work. but once we took the alarm to the front window no problem.
