Have you ever been so excited for a delivery that you're constantly checking the mailbox or feeling nervous that once it delivers, someone may take it? In that case, you'll understand why I was so excited to do a Ring Mailbox Sensor review. Living in rural Kansas, my concern for package theft is pretty low. However, my anxiety that comes up on the days a package I have been waiting for is due to arrive is just as high as anyone else's.
So, being able to know the moment it arrives helps me to manage that anxiety. My mailbox sits roadside, and while it isn't a super long walk to get to it, it's still a fair distance, and it breaks the flow of my day when I have to check it multiple times. I have tried using some of the best smart home sensors to get notifications sent to my phone, but due to distance and a metal mailbox, I was met with less than acceptable results.
