Bottom Line

If you need a post-mounted mailbox that is secure, you simply can't go wrong with this one. The best on the market.

Pros

Tough as nails! Resists vandalism and thwarts theft. Can accept small packages (ex. boxes of checkbooks) but designed to prevent anyone from reaching in and grabbing mail.

Cons

Post mount only. Can't hold larger packages.

Bottom Line

Great post-mounted mailbox that holds a lot of mail. However, beware that a lot of plastic was used to make this product.

Pros

Unique design holds a lot of mail in its base, which helps prevent anyone from reaching in while still retaining a fairly large slot. Locks for security.

Cons

You might have to do some drilling to get halves of the base to line up.

Bottom Line

Hard to beat if you need a post-mounted mailbox and live in an area where security isn't an issue.

Pros

Great value if you don't need a security mailbox. Large capacity and will last a long time.

Cons

Not secure, but that might be fine if you are in a rural area.

Bottom Line

A great option for those looking for a locking, wall-mounted mailbox.

Pros

Wall-mounted with good capacity and security. Narrow slot means would-be thieves can't reach in.

Cons

Mail slot small so it won't accept any packages at all.

Bottom Line

Fits your needs whether you need a post-mounted or wall-mounted box. Very secure, but accepts small packages.

Pros

Can be mounted on a post or wall. Great locking system and slot large enough to accept small packages, but small enough to deters anyone from reaching in.

Cons

A bit pricey. "Official" accessories such as mounting posts from Architectural Mailboxes are expensive.

    Mailboxes certainly have a practical purpose. But because so many different designs are available, your mailbox can match your home’s style too. For a residential style mailbox, you have some options. You can pick a box that will mount to the side of your home for walk-up delivery. You also can mount a mailbox onto a post for curbside delivery. Some people will want a simple mailbox that has a flap anyone can access. Others may want a locking mailbox, ensuring no one can grab your mail after delivery. Mailboxes are available in a variety of materials, including plastic, stainless steel, copper, brass, and wood. You can select from numerous colors or patterns as well, complementing your home’s style.
