No frills, does the job

2008-02-08
I wanted a mailbox big enough to hold most of the packages I receive, so I wouldn't have to keep driving into town to the post office whenever I get one. AND as a bonus, I can now send out most of my packages using Click n Ship because they also fit into this box. I was always worried about leaving them for the postal carrier on the ground, as our mailbox (and our neighbors') are over a mile from our house. Like I said, its no frills, but it does the job.

Great Product - Nice and Big!

Bought this because we needed a mailbox that our mail carrier could put books in. This mailbox is very big and sturdy and was perfect for our application.

T3 Mailbox

2007-10-11
The T3 mailbox is just what we wanted. It is large enough to hold small packages as well as the normal mail. This works very well for our rural setting. It was easy to assemble the mailbox and the instructions were clear. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is that the red flag seems small and somewhat flimsy. I am concerned that it will not hold up well over several years of use.

Great service & product

Seller's communication was excellent and notified me when item was mailed. Mailbox arrived in great time.

I mail quite a bit of small packages and needed a large mailbox to save trips to the post office. The size of this mailbox was perfect and easy to install on the post.

The mail lady said she was happy to see the larger size and more people on her route should have one like it.

So far, so good!!!

After just a few weeks of using this mailbox, we're very well satisfied and consider it a definite upgrade from the one it replaces. Best feature is the large size interior, which easily holds a couple of small boxes or lots of magazines and catalogues. In the center, it's about 15" high, so there's no need to bend or fold large envelopes. We noted other reviewers' criticisms about the plastic parts and plan to take reasonable care in using the latch and red flag. That being said, we've discovered that the plastic open-close latch is actually a bonus in the summer, when metal parts are too hot to handle. It doesn't have fancy extras or elaborate design, but for anyone who needs a basic-design mailbox with extra room, this is a a very good deal.

Metal Good, Plastic Cheap

2008-06-09
While I love the size of this mailbox and the fact that it's actually made of metal, I do have a problem with the cheap plastic latch that won't do its job. The lid keeps popping open. I have called the company and they will be sending another plastic latch as a replacement. They claim that they have not had any complaints. They should read the Amazon reviews. I probably will not buy another mailbox made by this company if plastic is involved.

Nice large mailbox

I was looking for a mailbox that would hold all my shipping items. This mailbox is the best because of it's size. The only gripe I have is the cheap plastic red flag on it. It's like having a M1 Abrams tank with a plastic gun on top.

Sturdy mailbox, should be all metal

2008-02-28
This might be a bit premature, since I haven't stuck the thing on my post yet. The mailbox is large (my kids were impressed) and suitable for bigger packages, which I'm constantly getting and mailing. Door and hinge appear sturdy, as does the box. I'd have considered 5 stars, but took away a star for plastic used for the latch and (fairly small) flag. If the mailbox has a weakness, it'll be those. I suspect they'll break long before the box will. Still, it meets my needs and the kids were able to assemble it while I washed dishes. Recommended if you don't mind the plastic.

This Mailbox has plenty of room for nearly all U.S. Postal deliveries. A little pricey in my opinion but a couple of inconvenient trips to the post office will make this seem like a bargain.
