THe mail box is great, however, the bolts that they include don't fit the "pre-drilled" holes in the bottom of the mail box, nor do any of the "pre-drilled" holes match up with the matching steel post that you can buy as a set. Apparently, they expect you to duct tape it to the post......

We needed a locked mailbox due to theft in the area and searched and searched for one. This is the largest we could find. We love it, BUT there are some issues. Where mail is entered in is not big enough for boxes and if the mailcarrier does not push the mail all the way in, then the mail still hangs up in the delivery slot. We did not order the pole that comes with it, but used the one we had. My husband had to drill new holes, but we got it on there, but had to add some metal to the rear to adhere it to the pole since the box itself is big and and bulky. Other than those two things, we love the security and peace of mind it gives. Mail will also stay dry.

Installed this mailbox about a week ago. Seems strong, holds a lot. Only drawback is that no hardware was provided for mounting on a 4x4 post. If you buy the recommended steel post you get mounting hardware but if not, you better be a decent do-it-yourselfer or you're going to have trouble.

We just installed this, weather did not permit earlier. The rivets were broken. We drilled them out and replaced them with stainless steel screws. Open box when you receive this to make sure it is not broken. BTW, box was not damaged, this came from mfg broken.

Be advosed tjat this exact mail box sells for only $98. at my local Lowe's. It is unfortunate that here on Amazon, such an item sells for a whopping 40% more than retail!

Nice looking, sturdy mailbox. Will hold lots of mail. We can go away for a day or two and not worry about mail sitting in the box (and not have to notify anyone we will be away). The only reason we gave this four stars instead of five -- if it was a little longer it would be better. Some larger envelopes do not drop down all the way.

Good sturdy box, well-made. It suits my needs and the letter carrier said I made the right choice!

The locking feature, size and volume of this mailbox is wonderful. Now I can go on a 2 week vacation and not have to worry about stopping the mail because it will hold it all!

The lock is very cheap. The tumbler mechanisim locks up. I replaced the lock with a higher security cylindrical lock.
I got the mailbox from Ollie's for $39.
