Step2MailMaster Express Mailbox & Post, Weather Resistant, Large Outdoor Mailboxes, Made of Durable Plastic, Easy to Install, Flag Included, Mocha

We upgraded our landscaping this summer and our old mailbox worked but was showing a lot of wear and tear. So we decided to upgrade our mailbox too. Very happy with the look and quality of our purchase. East to install.

Easy to install using my old 4x4 mailbox post.

Very good and strong, well made, not cheap thin plastic.

I drilled a hole through the bottom of the box to the rear outside. I threaded a piece of paracord through and attached a document clip to the interior end of the paracord and a 50 gram weight to the outside end. I then attached a magnet to the top of the inside of the front door. I also put some reflecto-tape on the 50 gram weight to make it visible at night. By touching the document clip to the magnet after retrieving my mail, the weight is at the bottom of the mailbox. When mail is delivered, the weight drops and I can tell from my residence that mail has arrived.

Came with all the parts, clear instructions. easy install. just need a post hole digger. screw gun and ratchet and 1/2 socket. plus the 4x4 cut to correct length and either the expanda foam or cement for the post.

Great mail box. Get you mail from street side or curb side. I recommend this to anyone looking for new mail box.

This mailbox seems to be made of good quality plastic.It has 3 main parts, a bottom post support, an upper post part that has the mailbox bottom incorporated into it, and the U shaped mailbox that screws onto that upper post part. It also includes the two doors (be sure to install the doors before tightening all the screws, as you will need to slightly pull the side to get the door pins in their holes), 3 bolts that go through the plastic upper pole into your 4x4, and 4 long screws that go through the mailbox body into the mailbox bottom (that is part of the top post). None of the holes are pre-drilled, and it takes a little work to get the bolts/screws in. You definitely will need a drill, and you could pre-drill the holes, although I just used the included bolts and screws to make their own holes. For that reason, I have only 3 stars for easy of assembly.The 4x4 will fit tightly at first through the bottom part of the post, where it connects to the top part. However, during installation, I found that once I had put the post through, after that the plastic expanded slightly to fit perfectly.The red flag is already incorporated in to the mailbox side. The mailbox is very deep, from front to back.I made some changes to installation to make it sturdier. I buried the bottom 5" of the plastic post in the ground and filled the bottom part of the plastic post with sand/dirt (I live in FL, where we have sand) to give it more stability (I'm sure it would have been stable without doing this, but I wanted to make it even more so). I also put 2 additional bolts in the front (the mailbox comes supplied with 3 bolts that go in the back), because I felt it moved around to much between the post sections, with only the bolts on the back. With these improvements, it's rock solid!Also, another reviewer stated that the door rubs against the sides. This is true when it's not installed. After installation they open and close fine. It makes me wonder if they wrote that review before installing. Also, the magnetic door clasps grabs nicely, and I have no concern about the doors accidentally opening.This plastic mailbox replaced a metal one. I have two Step2 Mailbox Minders (door alarms) that I purchased years ago. The Mailbox Minder works better in the plastic one (less blockage of the radio transmission). Since this new mailbox has 2 doors, I am putting a Mailbox Minder on each door, for security.This Step2 mailbox is MADE IN THE USA in Ohio.

We had a 4x4 post there already but a farm truck busted the rest of the mailbox off. This was a perfect fit and worked out great. We still have to permanently affix the top portion to the post - too cold lately to get out there, plus we're on a main road, so don't want to spend much time doing it in an evening, so we will wait for a Sunday or quieter time - and it still works great.Nice mail box for the price and it looks great so far.
