If you want a cheep mailbox, you can look elsewhere. If you want a permanent solution then you can stop your search.
That's what I concluded when I read about this place and watched some videos. My home is the "Flag Lot" for 3 other houses, we had a "custom shingle roofed structure that housed four different style but all flimsy mailboxes. Though it's true that most mail is "junk" there are some valuable things such as statements or packages and I hear frequent reports in my neighborhood of mail theft. This new install should end the risk for us. These "Small Boxes" ~$260 are 10"x10"x21" and larger than any prior mailbox we had. They have a 9.5"x1.75" opening at the top to allow mail and small packages to be delivered, myself and another neighbor ordered the "Slam Lock" upgrade for $38 more that allows box door to be left ajar and mail carrier to deposit up to 9.5"x7.5"x19" package and slam the door shut. Only YOU have the key. That's how I spell security.
I also spell it with 1/4" steel construction and fully welded joints. Fort Knox has a slogan that "It's the last mail box you will ever own", and I believe it.
In complete disclosure: Shipping time is super fast, but lead time to build is several weeks, but all reasonable. The finish is exceptional, but the fit is not perfect, but very good and no issues. Slight angles on door mount, feels a smidge rough on hinges, but nothing that affects operation.
With multi-unit purchases the do offer discounts so find fellow neighbors who want a final solution. :-) No matter how you look at it these are expensive mailboxes, I would not suggest otherwise. The question boils down to what price to you put on privacy, identity theft and just just plain theft. These mailboxes will be impervious to baseball bats and crow bars less than 6ft. But mainly after seeing one of these, any normal "thief" will just walk a little further down the road to a simpler box.
Like the old tale goes of two people in a tent that hear a bear. One is putting on his tennis shoes and the other asks, why do that, you can't out-run a bear? The reply is simple, I don't need to outrun the bear, I just need to outrun you. :-) read more
