Mr. Postman is a smart mailbox that brings physical mail into the digital age. As much as snail mail may be on the decline, online shopping is more popular than ever up and chances are, you want your items to arrive safe and secure.
The solar-powered mailbox is WiFi-enabled and connected to an app to help homeowners remotely lock and unlock the mailbox, as well as check items that have been newly picked up and delivered. As well, the mailbox enables trusted people to make collections from it, which is perfect for families who are out of town on vacation.
The Kickstarter campaign for the Mr. Postman mailbox aims to raise $50,000 in just over a month. For pledges over $180, supporters will receive the classic black Mr. Postman early.
