Mailbox

I was very happy with this mailbox. The only problem with it is that small packages don't fit.

So far so good.....

Bought two of these three months ago and they look elegant and are withstanding the eclectic mix of intense sun and torrential rain that we've been having. The lockable security flap is also a great feature.

Attractive Locking Mailbox. Nice Bright White. Mounting Screws Not Included. Some Magazines will Not Fit Through Slot.

This mailbox is attractive & works well with many different style houses. I was able to see one of these boxes in our local big box warehouse store, but they did not have the bright white color in stock.

Per the packaging information, the mailbox measures:
12-1/2"H x 9-1/2"W x 4D"D

My mailbox actually measures out at 12-1/4"H at the tallest part - the back that goes up against the house. The front measures in at 11-1/2". The other measurements are the same on my mailbox.

A magazine will fit flat inside the mailbox; however, if you choose to use the locking inner flap, some magazines may not easily slide through the mail slot or may not go in at all (ie, Thicker, larger size magazines will not fit - Real Simple, Oprah. Some larger size, but not so thick magazines will fit by bending the corner - The Old House, Organic Gardening. Some magazines will fit in with no effort - Bon Appetit, Dwell).

The decorative "Mail" emblem adds a nice touch & can be used if you want it. It is made of brass colored plastic & is adhered to the mailbox by 4 small bits of double-sided foam tape. The decorative emblem will not last the lifetime of the mailbox.

Install using 2 mounting screws (not included).

Overall, I like this mailbox because it is a nice size & looks attractive on the house. The magazine thing could be an issue for some, so that is why I only gave the mailbox 4 stars. For attractiveness, style and price-point, I'd give the mailbox 5 stars.

Rain and bugs can get in

I purchased one of these mailboxes 3 years ago from Home Depot, and I've had enough. I'm on Amazon looking for a new mailbox, and it really frosts me to see this one here.

First off, the opening to my mailbox faces west. When there's a driving rain from the west, the mail gets wet. Fail #1.

If I'm not around immediately after a driving rain, and the mail gets wet, ants decide to move into the mailbox. Fail #2.

If I take my time getting around to the ants, and it's late summer/early fall, yellowjackets were able to get in, and build a nest. Final fail.

I want my mailbox to protect my mail from the elements. If it can't do that, why would I want it as a mailbox? Key or not, it doesn't keep my mail safe.

Nice Mailbox, but Not Secure

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RLXNC3RSAWFGE It's a nice mailbox, EXCEPT...

1. People can reach through the slot and grab your mail.

2. Large envelopes hang up on the textured bottom plate. Your mail will sometimes be left sitting in the mail slot.

3. You can break the door open with your bare hands. Both the lock tab and hinge are held in place by cheap plastic flanges.

4. You can lift the top off after removing 9 exposed screws.


#1 and #2 are inexcusable because you'll never know for sure whether some of your mail has been stolen.

If you're handy, you can modify the box to solve #1, #2, and #4 -- See below.

Why would something this bad get 3 stars? Because most of the other locking mailboxes on the market are also feeble. The $100-$200 mailboxes are more tamper-resistant, but still somewhat pry-able and fish-able. Most are prone to rust (as is this mailbox), and some of them hold less mail (large pieces don't lie flat) .

The world is still waiting for a well designed, affordable locking mailbox.

Pro's:

Tasteful, clean look
Mail up to 10"x13" will go in flat & lay flat
Holds a lot of vacation mail (11" x 17-1/2" x appx 4-1/2")

Cons:

Not at all secure (See #1-#4 above)
Overpriced for what it is.

Fixes:

1. Attach some half inch plywood to the bottom of the mail slot, reducing it from 1-1/2" high to 1" high.

2. Put Plexiglas, aluminum, or varnished 1/4" plywood on the floor of the mail box so that large envelopes will slide back without getting hung up.

3. No easy fix, but fix #1 makes it hard to pull door open with bare hands.

4. Fill the Phillips screw heads with Liquid Nails or similar glue.

Pricing: It jumps around. If you do buy this wait for low tide - 74 buckss.

Mail is safe in this mailbox

We had a special need. We are gone during the week and home on weekends. We shopped all the local huge chain stores and could not find a curbside locking mailbox that my wife couldn't just put her hand and arm in the slot. Our mail has been safe in this mailbox. The slot is just the right size to accept larger mail, but keep out someone's hand and arm to retrieve it. We were also very pleased by the fast, safe delivery.

I bought this item

The speed of shipping this item was great, but when I received it I opened it and found a loose screw inside the package, and the hinge pin was coming out about 3/4" on one end. I realigned the hinge and tapped the hinge pin back in and it looked okay, except for a depression in the top black plastic part of the mailbox. In the interior part of the mailbox, the locking door panel appears to have a large gap on the base of the panel, the mail slot for delivering mail into is rather large also and I can place my hand inside quite easily. A childs' hand and arm or teenagers' could fit inside the incoming mailslot quite easily....

All in all, I couldn't find any security mailboxes to look at in the surrounding area and the locksmith I went to didn't have any to look at either,... I decided to keep the mailbox anyway, as I really didn't have time to look around, and the others I found on the internet were even more pricey than this one, even though they were probably more secure ...

.... it is hard to tell from looking at pages on the internet just how cheap something is assembled, and how unsecure it is, until you get it..... but at least it is a little more secure-looking than a regular mailbox if you don't examine it too closely.

A Very Substantial Mailbox

Design is good. Mine was missing one of the nine screws holding the top in place, but that was easily fixed.
