Easy to install 15 min to drill the holes and screw it to the wall. All you need drill and screw driver all the screws includes the box.Also totally water proof. No way to water gets.Big thanks . And also price is best in market . Thank you Amazon ...

Ok, not a cheap item so somewhat disappointed that there were no screws or wallplugs supplied, just the mailbox in a cardboard box. Due to the lift up lid design, this mailbox cannot be screwed directly to a wall and needs battens to hold it away from the wall (or whatever you fasten it to) otherwise the lid won't open. In addition, the top mounting holes foul the lid so it only opens to about a 45 degree angle. This may be a design 'feature' to guarantee that the lid falls shut but it makes the opening too shallow to easily retrieve mail/newspapers etc. I addressed the problem by making new holes lower down and placing grommets in the original holes. Nice item but let down in small details and the fact that no fittings, which would cost a matter of pence, have been included. UPDATE: Been fitted now for just over a week. Electro-brassed plate proclaiming "Newspapers" is now rusting badly enough to have left rusty streaks down the outside of the mailbox. Must be really cheap plating. Very poor. Expected a couple of years use before it got rusty, not 8 days!

Very happy with this . Lightweight but not flimsy. Looks smart. As long as you have a short handled screwdriver it's easy to fit too. Big enough for at least a couple of small parcels. Most importantly the lid stays closed even in windy weather and has a rubber rim so despite very heavy rain not a drop of water gets in. If you don't need a lockable box this is excellent value for money.

The finish of this metal box is good. There is no spring to keep the lid closed because it is so well fitting that it remains closed even in the strong winter gales (we have had quite a few). In spite of its exposed position on a tree well away from the house, the paper remains dry and insect free.It is easy to fit with coachbolts or screws and I am pleased with its smart appearance of black against the gloss red backing board to which it is attached.

Otherwise. Item is excellent for what I need it for. But no good to me as it is.

Great box for about the lowest price I could find. I did not want a locking box with another key to lose and it needed to have a large opening for snall packets and parcels as well as newspapers. This was just the ticket. The lid does not quite open quite fully but this not proven to be a problem. The box is supplied with stand-off rubber washers which go between box and wall. Access to the screw holes could be difficult. I used a small ratchet screwdriver which made the job straightforward. Metal is just a tad thin but then I did not pay top-dollar so very pleased overall.

We didn’t like the “newspapers” sign on the front so we took it off (v easy - unscrews) and replaced with an inexpensive one of our own. It was a little challenging to install the box - no instructions and very hard to get a screwdriver inside the box to do up the screws! We also weren’t sure where the rubber stoppers were supposed to go (in/outside) but figured it out (outside) when the lid wouldn’t open without scraping on the wall!Very good value for money but some simple instructions would have been very helpful. Looks really smart now and our post won’t have dog bites in anymore!!

Second thames I have bought. Left the first at last property. I will make sure i wax this one to prevent rust. Looks very smart. Big capacity and postie can pop small parcels in. Keeps things dry. Good fitted lid. This does everything with no faffing about with keys to retrieve things.
