Vandal proof mailbox icon “Just thought I would give you good news, the new mailbox arrived in one week, is installed, and looks great. It offers a wonderful amount of security for a nominal cost and has survived it's first attack without a chip in the paint, though that Blazers rear window will never be the same. Thanks for the great service!”

Vandal proof mailbox icon“Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you I'm very pleased with the box.  My brother-in-law, who is a brickmason, installed it in a new brick column this past Saturday. He is truly an artist as he really embellished the brickwork around the box and up the column itself.....my wife is very pleased, which is saying a lot (ha!). We had ceramic tiles embedded in the brick column on either side so the address could be read from either direction traffic was approaching. If I ever get a digital camera I'll forward an email attachment to you for your advertisements.”

Thanks again,

Vandal proof mailbox icon“Hi, we have put your mailbox to the test. We are a constant target for vandals.  We were able to catch one set of them and they had to pay for damage. I got my money invested in the mailbox because of them back so we got a good deal there.  They are beating the heck out of our box on a regular basis... It looks like they are using splitting mauls. The only thing we hope is they are getting zinged down to their toes...It should hang in there, but these are some determined vandals.”

Vandal proof mailbox icon “Thanks for your quick reply. Actually, after I e-mailed you my husband and I decided that a black one would make a nice change since we have black wrought-iron gates. So I am ordering a black Large Heavybilt Country Estate Mailbox. I ordered one for my mom last spring and hers survived the vandals whereas our looks like...”

AH -- Illinois
 

Vandal proof mailbox icon “I didn't consider this. How HEAVY this Heavybilt box really is! My poor UPS driver had to walk the massive weight of this box to my back door! I have to take the same weight back up to the road to install the beast! I am impressed! I may have to rent a crain to install the beast but it will never move from then on. Further, I got 3 day delivery AFTER Halloween! My former mailbox was trashed on Halloween night. Suggestion to anyone wanting to order the LARGE size: rent a crane!...Installed the box today and had the odd opportunity to stress test the beast.  I put the box in the back of my Jeep and drove up my driveway (very steep) not knowing that the hatchback was not shut. Needless to say the hatch opened and the Heavybilt box came tumbling out, down the driveway. Not a scratch, ding or dent! I am impressed! Good products are far and few between these days. You should be proud of the quality of your products! I suppose the downside to this for your company is that there isn't many repeat customers. Once you own one you never need another!”

Vandal proof mailbox icon “The new box arrived, I am thrilled. It locks, it's even green. Thank you. The post office supervisor is coming to our neighborhood to discuss all the mail theft and has asked me to bring this box and your contact info to that meeting. The PO is unwilling to install their own lock boxes, so this seems the viable alternative. One neighbor says she's already ordered the smaller locking box from you. Will you consider orders for the large locking one like you sent me? If so, when? I suspect there will be interest.  All the best,

Vandal proof mailbox icon “I thought you would like to know that I received everything and installed the mailbox and post per your suggestions a week ago. The quality of your products are superior and I've received several compliments from those who have seen it. The reflective addressing and installation was also well worth the extra expense. Thanks again for your help and I look forward to recommending your company to others in the future.”

Vandal proof mailbox icon “Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I received the mailbox. It is awesome! I really appreciate the effort you made with working on the address. I couldn't be happier. Now I just need to get it outside. That thing weighs a ton. Can't wait to hear the baseball bat hit it. Hee Hee :)”

Vandal proof mailbox icon “A couple of years back, I got really steamed when I had to replace my big rural mailbox three times in a single month. So I ordered one of the big mailboxes from this site, and mounted it on a support arm I built out of 4x6's and set in concrete.

“Things went on just great for a couple of years, with the worst damage to the box being a couple of blemishes on the finish, and my having to replace the bolts serving as stops for the flag a couple of times when they got bent. Then last Thursday night the Big One hit. Literally.

“A county ambulance was making an emergency run down our road at about 55 or 60 mph, and the driver somehow got off the pavement on the right, clipping the front of our mailbox. The ambulance lost both sets of rear-view mirrors on the right side, and then the the box-body of the ambulance hit the mailbox. At some point not too long thereafter, the horizontal 4x6 the mailbox was bolted to sheared off, and the box landed about 10 yards down the road from its base. Our  home is about 1/4 mile from the mailbox, and we heard the impact as we were sitting in the living room.

“I went down to the road and looked at the damage, then picked up the mailbox and brought it back to the house. It was severely dented at the door end, to the point where the door wouldn't close properly. But after bashing on the box for about 30 minutes with a 16-ounce ball peen hammer, I was able to get it to work well enough to stick it back up on its post again Friday morning. We didn't miss a single mail delivery. And Friday afternoon I got a call from the director of the ambulance service admitting that his driver was at fault, and that they wanted to replace my maibox. He also admitted that the mailbox did $8 ,000 to $10,000 worth of damage to the ambulance, and that the ambulance is going to have to go back to the factory to have the box -body repaired. Fortunately for my pocketbook, the Sheriff's deputy who did the accident report indicated that the ambulance had to have had its right tires entirely off the paved surface of the road in order to have hit the mailbox in the first place, so the responsibility for the accident lies entirely with the ambulance driver, and my mailbox was simply an innocent victim.

“This whole incident says a whole lot for the durability of these mailboxes. I'm going to try to send the company some pictures one of these days.”
