Just set up my mailbox and realized that it doesn't have any kind of clip to hold the flag on? Help!

your mail box should have come with attachments that are designed to hold the flag in place, if none are present, then you should return the item for one that does. there are pieces for this included in the box.

Mr Smith, your mailbox may have been inadvertently shipped without it. When mine arrived it contained all of the molded parts for both the door pull and flag. They were all attached and had to be separated before assembly. I'd suggest you contact the manufacturer and request they send you one. Good luck and I hope this helps in some way.

It just sits on top. It looks like you might be able to use something to clip it on.. Unless they're really determined lol. Sorry they're giving you trouble.

no red flag. this is a small wall-mounted mailbox - it's not for outdoor use

There is one clip on the end of the pole that I clip to the top corner of my flag that helps it to spin around. There are no other clips. All of my flags slide onto the pole.

The bottom flag will get some light. A glow really. That's what the light looks like when it hits the ground. It is not a street light. Enough light to tell what the flag is tho. Since it mounts on the top, the thickness of the pole doesn't matter. Unscrew the gold ball, add the light and screw the ball back on. I had to remove a nut used as a spacer from the threaded ball.

The post is made to attach a standard size mailbox. This pounds pretty standard so shd hold it. The problem would be screwing it into the braces to hold box in place if it's too wide to fit snugly against the braces.

Mine is installed against a wall, not on a post. A newspaper will jam the slot open possibly if pushed in from one end. It will not drop down into the box. It is intended for regular mail. It might be best to add some sort of holder under the unit or possibly lay the paper on top if the unit is fastened to a wall.

There are thumb screws on one side of each of the flag mounts. Tightening those should do the trick.

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

It doesn't come with a mounting bracket. The only thing you'll get in the package is the mailbox itself - no screws, no bracket, nothing else. You probably should buy a mounting bracket.

None of the ones I have have holes for mounting the clip on the other side. I hope that helps.

There are three holes in a line across the middle of the mail holder box. They are centered and a few inches apart. We attached ours with only two screws and it worked just fine.

If you already have the box, why not just buy a cheap malbox with a flag and a 1/4-20 bolt with 2 fender washers and a locknut and just drill a hole andmount it? Or you could probably use a short lag screw to go only into inbetween the first and 2nd layer or just construction glue a piece of wood to mount it with a normal screw. Pretty expensive upgrade if you have a box that is the same without it. The flag really is just a plastic piece that is not really flag shaped-it's more like a long rectangle with the ends sanded off. Nothing fancy. Unless your box is worn out or something, I'd say just do a flag for it somehow.Good luck!

I nailed ours onto a piece of wood that fit directly under it. Worked fine. So if your wood is small enough that the mailbox slips over it, you can just nail the mailbox on the wood platform through those holes on the sides. Hope that helps!

Additional comments!: I looked up the mailbox and it seems to have a significant number of changes that address my "issues." I see that they give you three keys now and the keys look different, so maybe they can be copied more easily. Also, it shows that bottom plate in one of the side pictures and it's obvious that it could be mounted on a column. Probably likely that's how it's mounted most of the time. The issue of delivery of large packages is still there, though, as you can see from the picture with it open. I hope that's more helpful.

No, mine came without a clip. As for the gift box, it is just a basic and simple plastic box, not at all fancy. I would not put a wedding ring in such a box.

This is a heavy mailbox, you better check the weight. I would recommend the square pole to hold up the mailbox which comes with the plate to support the mailbox. Installation was very easy with the ones that are made for this mailbox.
