Mail Chime - Wireless Alert System

I'm thinking about getting one of these, no more constantly checking my mailbox every 30 minutes until my mail shows up.

The Mail Chime Wireless Alert System allows you to know when the mail carrier has arrived. Just install the sensor on your mailbox door and use the receiver in your home. The Mail Chime will beep four (4) times when it detects activity. In case you do not hear the beeping noise, a bright red LED light will light up. A security device will also let you know if someone uses your mailbox. The Mail Chime Wireless Alert System can be used on slot-type mailboxes, along with curbside and wall-mounted boxes. It is not made for mailboxes with vertical hinges. The range of the device is 450 feet. A 12-volt battery is included to be used in the transmitter and an AC adapter is included with the Mail Chime device to be used with the receiver.

Put tarantula in box, wait for scream. Enjoy pet in-between deliveries.

How about a pipeline that goes from your mailbox to the inside of your house, powered by a vacuum device. Sort of like they do at Home Dep0 when they put the money in the capsule and it's on its way to the pipelines and into the office safely. Easy.
