I had second thoughts spending 2.5K on a mailbox for the office but wow…… even the contractors were impressed with the quality. Using it already and no complaints.

I have the VaultXXXL even though it is 8 years old – still looks new, solid and rust free. Great for mail and small packages – keeps the deliveries secure.
After sale customer service is great, Andrea able to help me with additional keys.

MAIL MAN DOES NOT NEED A KEY…. when first heard of a locking mailbox, I thought that the mailman needed a key and that could be complicated. But the mailman does NOT need a key. He just pushes the mail through the slot at the top of the box and it drops down into the locked section, and you can just use YOUR key to get your mail out when ready. Great for going on longer trips and all your mail is there waiting for you.

This mailbox is INSANE!!! Forget worrying about your mail, if some kid was so stupid to hit this with a bat, he would get vibration / shakes just like the cartoons do…

Dear Sirs:
I bought the Fort Knox mailbox several years ago, but its strength hadn’t been “tested out” until last year. A couple of stupid guys stole a Toyota pickup and were driving too fast on my country road. They ran off the road and slammed into my Fort Knox mailbox. It got tangled up under the truck and tore off the rear axel. It bounced free and ended up 100 yards down the road. The mailbox survived and I put it back into the ground. It’s a little beat up but still works perfectly. The thieves escaped into the woods but the pickup was a total loss.
That steel construction is solid! What a great investment!

I love my mailbox that we got last year. Everyone around me has gotten theirs broken into. At least 15 folks! But no one has even touched mine. I recommended you guys to my neighbors. I am so confident and happy. There is nothing worse than having some one steal your mail and open new credit cards with that info . May God bless you for inventing this series of mailboxes!!!!

Some one hit our mailbox with a house… Literally.
They were towing a house on a flatbed wider than the street and drug the side of the house down the mailbox… I heard loud metal scraping from my bed room. Turns out the mailbox is fine aside for some paint scrapes and the concrete base wiggles a little in the ground.
Figured yall would be interested in the news
do yall have touch up paint?

I’ve been meaning to reply to you that I received the mailbox. An amusing thing happened with the shipping company. They failed to call me before the delivery date so that I could arrange to be home to sign for it. I got a call when the delivery person was standing at my house. Of course, I was at work at the time, 45 minutes away. With a few calls to the main office, it was agreed that I could email the shipping company to give permission for the delivery person to leave it without a signature.
But I was worried that it might get stolen. Packages get stolen off of people’s porches all the time. I left work to get home early to make sure the delivery was in a safe location. I needn’t have worried. I couldn’t even move it, let alone get it off the property!
The guy I hired to install it said “That thing is a TANK! Someone will need explosives in order to steal your mail.”
Thanks so much. Having my mailbox secured gives me peace of mind.
