Re: Cellular vinyl mailbox post

I hate how the plastic/vinyl ones look, even when brand new--let alone when sunbaked, dirty, and beat to hell. My personal preference: »Re: %$^%#% - Mail box post rotted out / fellover / was knocked

As I said in that thread, I have stability and modularity. Not to mention it fits my personal preferences aesthetically.

For as much as it costs, it better stay nice looking for a while.

Edit: You replied to me, so I assumed you were saying the setup I went with was pricy. End Edit

I paid $26 for the mounting base and $30 for the post. Then you add the cost of whichever mailbox you decide to put on it. The vinyl mailbox setups at Lowes start at $60, so I don't think it's all that expensive.

This is the one I'm ordering, which is why I hope it lasts for a while.

I like the rhino liner idea. I wish I'd done that on the last mailbox post.

Tell me about it. It hurt just typing in the credit card number. $400 with shipping.
