With all the hurricane activity last year you would think the agent would be doubly careful and call the insured or better yet return their money (via Fed Ex) with a letter reiterating the fact that the coverage had cancelled and could not be reinstated.

Were his office hours posted on the door next to the mail slot? Was there at least a note that stated coverage could not be bound, altered, endorsed or reinstated if money was dropped off after hours? If he hasn't already, he should consider a PO box and get rid of the mail slot.

The insured waited until the 11th hour but the agent was actor in this play.
