I purchased this post system four years ago. It’s very pretty and sturdy when properly installed, and we’ve all really liked it.However, recently the red flag fell off the box after a large package was stuffed in and pulled out. The latch/screw that holds the flag in place is now missing. Unfortunately, I’m not sure where to find the replacement part to reattach and fix the flag.If the seller can assist with this, I’d be happy to update my review. Thank you!

I had to purchase a new mailbox and stand after our neighbor took ours out when he turned the corner. I wanted to replace the original one with one that looked the most like our previous mailbox due to HOA and keeping inline with the overall aesthetic of our neighborhood. Apparently Addresses of distinction (AOD) realized this is a common thing and I believe jumped their prices up to reflect it (just my guess, no actual proof). I liked everything about the mailbox except the price of it. I had a similar one picked out for a hundred dollars cheaper. The only reason I didn’t choose it was because I wasn’t sure if it was able to be placed in the ground or if you had to stabilize it some other way. So here’s another way in which AOD graded above everyone else is their clear description in their ad for the mailbox. When it arrived, it was easy to assemble, had clear instructions and was relatively packed well. I didn’t see where the advertisement stated it supplied the street numbers or skipped over that part and I didn’t have to specialize my order to put the address numbers in, but they did supply them. There was a note in the package that takes you to a link to their company where I put these numbers in. They arrived in only two business days. I loved the fact that they included two sets and they already had them aligned for me and on transfer tape. It took me no time to get them placed on the box. The box and stand seem sturdy enough. I like the size of it as well. I would have given this mailbox 5 stars had it not been for having to pay as much as I did for it. In order to replace my mailbox from an unplanned accident, I paid $403 total for this mailbox and a bag of setting compound to secure it in the ground (including tax). I was honestly expecting to pay around $250. Thankfully I believe in a rainy day fund because I certainly had to depend on it. I’ll update later after it’s been used a bit to see if I increase my fifth star or bring it down to three.

Did not come with a mail box, numbers, or a way to secure it to the ground. I’m not sure if it was a shipping error or just bad advertising. Post itself was quite nice but without being a complete kit not worth the money.

Quality craftsmanship, the metal is sturdy and nice. The design is very elegant. We had trouble finding a quality mail box, they was only cheap selection at the hardware store. I spay painted black the visiible hardware (screws heads). After I ordered this, I messaged them via Amazon about the brass house numbers and they shipped those to me separately, arriving a day before the mailbox did which was nice. The brass numbers are a great quality and came with preinstalled 3M double stick tape. I was glad to see they used 3M brand so that the numbers will stay put for years and not fall off. In my experience 3M is the only brand tape that lasts. The installation was a little hard for my skill level but I was glad to see they have an informative install video on YouTube. I personally installed just the post first and then assembled the various parts of the mailbox onto the mailbox after the original post was set in concrete. The only con to doing it this way was I put the post about 10 inches back from the street and the open end of the mailbox ended up about 1.5 to 2 inches further into the street than I prefer. I would suggest testing your hole distance from the street better than I did to achieve a better result. My neighbors already commented how nice this mail box is and it definitely feels like the highest end mail box product on the market. Thank you for a great quality product! Question for seller; It seems I lost or 2 of the tiny set screws used to hold in the decorative base, how can I obtain more from you? Currently the decrotive base is only held by 1 set screw.

Instructions on how to set this baby up are way lacking. Another example of a product made off shore. How to dig the hole, etc., are fairly informative. However, sit back, look at the pieces, and determine in your head how this mailbox is to be assembled and in what order. A key item is distance from the ground to the bottom of the mailbox to stay within USPS guidelines. I placed a piece of painter's tape around the pole where the mailbox bottom would be positioned and measured down to where the pole should be placed level to the ground. Placed another piece of tape around the pole so that I could visually see how deep to sink the post. Worked out fine. Level the pole in all directions and let the quickcrete firm up. I added the numbers attachment to the box before mounting the box to the pole. This was the most difficult part, as the screws, washers and fly-nuts were uncooperative. So, do this prior to mounting the box on the post bracket. Also, add your address numbers before attaching the bracket to the mailbox. The set screws, as some customers had issues with, were not in the holes, although they were in the parts package - hurrah). Bottom line, this mailbox is fairly easy to set up. Just review the lacking instructions and look at all the parts before moving forward. I like the idea of the decorate post base which slides down the pole and positions itself on any base material, in my case pine mulch, and will also cover up any flaws while positioning the pole into the ground. Also, the set screws to attach the decorative top and base are way lacking. Super glue will be the solution. I definitely have the smartest mailbox on the street. The size of the box is good, to receive nice-sized USPS packages. I definitely do not regret the $300 price tag. The pluses outnumber the negatives for this mailbox.
