Step2 540200 MailMaster Plus Mailbox, Spruce

Rubbermaid mailboxes are the only brand that I will use. You cant beat the high quality and the great price. all of my neighbors have Rubbermaid mailboxes.

Easy to install since we already had the 4x4 post from our last mailbox. Looks good and the size is just what we needed to hold a few newspapers and the mail.

Very nice and easy to prepare

I do not like the re-design of the joint between the actual box and the upright post part. My previous one of the same style had plastic push in fasteners not stainless steel screws. If struck by a slow moving vehicle or lawn mower it would come apart and could then be easily put back together with the plastic push pins or new ones purchased locally. I know! I have made the simple repair/reassembly several times. I even considered drilling the new one to accept the plastic pins BUT they redesigned the joint so that cannot now be done. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER LIKE THIS ONE!!!!!

Good value for the money. Easy to install over existing post. Seems to keep the mail dry.

Exactly what I was looking for and cheaper than what I could find in the store.

Great product excellent turn around time.

Installation ease depends on the type of soil you are trying to dig 2 feet deep into. For me, it was clay and gravel used as a base under the curb and gutter. In other words, it was awful. The post (Not included) is not cheap with lumber prices these days. Otherwise, the mailbox is waterproof and stays closed during very gusty winds.

This would have been a 5 star item if it came with a post made of the same material. To make it solid and durable I used 2 gilbralter anchor post bought through Amazon and concreted them. I also reversed the bottom portion then placed the mailbox on top. I did this because when I placed it as pictured it looked like it was pitching forward too much. The reversed position gives it a different look but one that is not odd but oddly enough an attractive one. Overall I am pleased with my purchase as the mailbox is large, well constructed and attractive.

I purchased this as a replacement of my original MailMaster mailbox that I installed 3 years ago. I live on a rural road and the frame of my mailbox cracked one very cold day this winter when a plow went through after a huge snowfall throwing a heavy load of snow against the mailbox. Even badly cracked, it continued to stand up against continued snowplow batterings throughout the terrible winter. My choice for a replacement was another MailMaster. These are easy to install, are completely weather resistant (with the exception of being hit by 200lbs of snow moving at 50MPH on a bitter cold day), look very nice and are all plastic so there is no rusting. The only down side is that there is access from both the front and the back. For a rural mailbox in a northern climate, the rear door is generally not accessible for half of the year due to snow. There are times when the mail person inadvertently pushes so much stuff into the box that it pushes the rear door open. When I install the new mailbox I will permanently secure the rear access door so that it can not be opened.
