Excellent Mailbox!! After spending a year on and off looking for a lockable mailbox solution, I finally stumbled on this Elephantrunk. First of all, it works: anything that you can fit into the white bin inside will drop consistently and will not be stuck. I can fit decently-sized packages. Secondly, the bottom has so much space for mail that it can probably hold up to 3-4 weeks of normal load mail (including junk). Thirdly, it is cute looking box with well made body and good paint. Lastly, the price is great! No need to put any ugly posts, etc. But you would need to put it on a level concrete surface or pour a small slab yourself. Install was easy too!
The only negative someone can say about this mailbox is that it is not made of some thick gauge of steel. Yes, it is true but why does it need to be made of steel?! This is not intended to be a safe or a vault to store guns or cash. This is just a receptacle to get mail and some packages while preventing it from being easily visible and stolen. Mail thieves generally take only 2-3 seconds to steal mail. They drive up, open mailbox, and get what they can in hopes of catching W-2 or some other financial document. (At least this is how these thieves operate in Texas per multiple videos from security cameras). Anyways, this Elephantrunk makes it hard to steal mail. If someone really wants to, they will still break into this mailbox but it will be noisy and require them to get out of a car and spend some time getting it done... in the end they don't even know if there is anything inside...
Also, if this mailbox would be made of steel, it would be very expensive and heavy to ship...
So, for all the great functionality and great looks, I recommend this mailbox. FYI, I did try the biggest Epoch mailbox and returned it promptly when it couldn't even get a single piece of mail down without getting it stuck... Lol! It is made of steel but it is nearly impossible to get mail into the Epoch mailboxes...

Keeps things tidy, but looks like a garbage can on the front porch.
Service from the seller was excellent. Shipped fast and arrived safe. The container is sturdy and keeps packages tidier on the porch. However, it is essentially shaped like a garbage can. I think I would like it better if the design was shorter and wider.

We have an uncovered front stoop. Our mail was always getting wet, but not with our new red mailbox! The mail is much harder to steal and stays (mostly) dry. Plus, it looks stylish with our colorful front door.
