Mail Time! is the original mailbox alert flag that lets you know when your mail and packages have been delivered. Designed decades ago and proudly made in the USA since the 1980s, Mail Time remains the most reliable mailbox signal on the market.
If you're tired of wasted trips to the mailbox — especially on long driveways, rural roads, or in bad weather — Mail Time provides a clear, visible signal you can trust.
Mailbox alerts also make a thoughtful and practical gift for a friend, neighbor, or family member.
Why Mail Time Works:
Ideal for rural and long-driveway homes Perfect for mailboxes that are far from the house or partially obscured.
Automatic spring hinge The signal flag raises automatically when the mailbox door is opened.
Fits most standard mailboxes Works on metal and most plastic "bread loaf" style mailboxes where the door closes over the face of the box, including XL Size 2 mailboxes.
Durable mechanical design Simple, non-electronic construction designed to last for years.
Proudly Made in the USA Mail Time alert flags have been manufactured in the United States since the 1980s.
Mail Time installs in just a few minutes using basic tools. Clear photo instructions are shown below and included with every order.
Step 1: Slide tabs under top latch and slide backwards until snug.
Step 2: Insert provided bolt through holes
Step 3: Tighten nut on bolt
Step 4: Close flag inside mailbox door. After initial installation, the tab should be gently adjusted once for a good fit. It is not designed to be bent back & forth regularly, which can cause the tab to break.
Step 5: Ready for mail delivery
Step 6
Mail Time is designed for traditional "bread-loaf" style mailboxes where the door closes over the face of the box. It is not designed to fit mailboxes where the door sits flush inside the mailbox, or magnetic door closures. Please see images of several mailbox styles that will not work.
