Cute but poor quality

Advantages: Style/Design
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, Performance, Quality
"This mailbox is extremely cute and I get compliments on it all the time. However, within 2 months of having it, it broke beyond repair. Where the head "snaps" into the body to close the door contains a little ball on a spring. It was extremely hard to open at first and then the plastic piece holding the ball in broke. I tried gluing it with no luck. Now the head falls down all the time leaving my mail soaking wet anytime it rains. Love the mail box but will never buy another one again. Unfortunately I didn't have my receipt or the box it came in to try for an exchange and now 8 months later, I've had enough and am buying a new mail box, def not this one though!"

"In th past few years I've had 3 of these mailboxes they work very well for the first several months, but due to weather conditions and location of this product after a while it will fade and the plastic hinge will crack after 2 or 3 yrs. overall it is a good product.."

Advantages: Good gift
Disadvantages: Difficult to use, finish durability
"The door is 'sticky' to open; seems to have a tight fit. Others have commented on the paint coming off, so we plan to put a coat of clear on before putting it outside. Still, we think it is a unique and entertaining piece."

NOT USPS APPROVED!!

from IA
Disadvantages: Difficult to use
"it is very neat BUT I got this mailbox and was told by my postmaster that is NOT an approved mailbox. I called the company that makes it and they verified it is not approved "but it is OK in 95% percent of the areas it's used" whatever that means. I think this information should be in the product decription as I brought it to use as a mailbox as it is advertised."

doesn't pass the mirror test

By KLin
"My
husband loved this new mailbox, until I tipped it with the side mirror
on my SUV, the mirror moved like it was supposed to, the catfish head
on the mailbox fell off, like it wasn't supposed too. I'm having to buy
a new one and I believe I'll be paying $10.00 more plus shipping than I
paid in the store for the first one. They are not nearly as cute
without the head.
