Called company - stated problems - was given price and approximate date to complete - concrete was used because post often stands in a lot of water due to street flooding - very quick and very sturdy mail box.
Description of Work: Very prompt service replacing old mailbox and post -- box was falling apart and post replaced and secured with concrete. Excellent service!

We were pleased overall. Only concern is that the new mailbox seems much higher than the old one and other mailboxes in the neighborhood, but it looks great and they were very punctual.

We had purchased a new mailbox and post and attempted to install it ourselves, but we didn't do a good job. We called them and explained the situation, and they came out and properly installed the 4 x 4 post with the concrete footings.

I called Mail Box Solutions to describe the mailbox and post that I wanted to have installed at my residence and their initial response was very good. They came to install the box and post within a few days (11/27/09). At the time of installation, 1 of 2 pieces of mailbox base-trim molding was broken and they said they would order and install it at a later date. They installed the unbroken piece of molding. After 7 weeks I sent an email to Mail Box Solutions asking when they planned to install the final piece of mailbox trim. I also ask that they send me the necessary manufacturer product information so that I could contact the manufacturer and obtain the missing trim if they did not plan to complete this task. I received no response from Mail Box Solutions to my email request. 2 weeks later I sent a letter by Certified Mail to Mail Box Solutions requesting the same information regarding the mailbox trim installation or manufacturer information. Once again I received no reply. After 2 ½ more weeks I got on the Internet, located the mailbox manufacturer, and emailed the manufacturer asking if I could purchase the part I needed to complete the installation. Within an hour the manufacturer replied that they were shipping two pieces of trim at no charge. I now have the part and will install it on the mailbox. Based on my 3-month experience with Mail Box Solutions I would not recommend them for any work due to their total lack of follow-up in completing the work associated with this installation.

Response from MAILBOX SOLUTIONS
We agree with what the member said accept a few things. The members post was in dyer need of replacement. I personally went out and replaced the post with in 48 hours. When the mailbox he requested was opened the trim peice was bad. I told The member I would get it replaced. I received an email from him and called him back saying I did not have the part yet. He said" that was fine but I want it fixed." Weeks later I received the certified letter but did reply because the part was suppose to ship in one week. I received the part but The member already received his. I am sorry we upset the member and will make sure this does not happen again. It is my fault for lack of communication. The mailbox functioned perfectly and I did not react as quick as I should have.

Over the New Year's holiday weekend, someone backed into our mailbox. The post was broken off at the ground, but the mailboxes were intact. We called Mailbox Solutions for an estimate to replace the old post and install our old mailboxes on the new post. The company gave me an estimate on the phone, which I accepted. Despite the terrible cold weather, they were out by the end of the week. They dug up the old post stump, installed the new post, and attached the old boxes. They were very careful, and made sure to replace the grass to minimize the impact. We are very happy with the service, and would use them again... although we hope that we won't have to.

The price was reasonable and the result was exactly what we wanted. I have a hard time understanding why some competitors we called would charge twice as much and still get any business. I'll definitely recommend Mailbox Solutions to anyone in my neighborhood.

I called Mailbox Solutions on a Saturday morning after finding my mailbox on the ground. Apparently the post had broken off at ground level. I spoke with a gentleman who answered my questions and gave me a cost estimate over the phone. We agreed to the services and price. It was completed that same afternoon. The person who came to do the work explained what he did and was very pleasant. It was a good experience. I would definitely recommend using this provider.

I returned from morning shopping on what had been a very rainy Saturday. I drove to my garage before I realized that my old mailbox was sitting beside the door. So I walked down the drive to examine the new post and boxes. First of all, I was really surprised that the work was done so quickly but especially because the weather had been miserable most of the day - rain and more rain. There must have been a brief dry hour because the two old mailboxes and posts were removed, and the new very attractive post was installed. I was pleased that Mr. Benjamin noted my recently created flower bed behind the mailboxes, and he centered the new post between and in front of a couple of large perrenials that I had planted last year. Perhaps it was just an accident or perhaps he planned it that way. Nevertheless, the installation and the materials pleased me very much. Now if the newspaper carrier could just get used to the new boxes and properly deliver my morning paper on the accurate days of the week.
Description of Work: My mailbox and my neighbor's box, both in front of my home, needed repair/replacement. After seeking agreement from my neighbor, I decided to have the two posts replaced by a single post with our mailboxes attached side-by-side and newspaper boxes replaced under each mailbox. I left a voice mail for Mr. Benjamin and received a call back the same evening. He asked me to email him the particulars, after we agreed on the type of mailboxes and size of the post that I wanted. He asked me to type the exact addresses that would be printed on the boxes and to indicate, from the position of looking at the mailboxes as a mail carrier would deliver, which address should be on the left and which on the right. (The postal carrier had already told me that I could not just place the boxes in numerical order from south to north without consent from the USPS - so I left them as they were.) I was to include the size of the post and size of boxes. Mr. Benjamin told me that it could be 5-7 days or so before installation.

Accepted the job and did it promptly. We did it all by phone except for mailing the check.
Description of Work: Our rural mail box was hit on a Friday afternoon, and the teenager who destroyed it took full responsibility, we called Mail box Solutions, got an estimate, ordered by phone and the post and box were replaced on the next Saturday. It required a custom cut 6x6 post and a medium sized box with a painted address so it was more expensive. A regular 4x4 post and standard box would have bee about $160 and would have been installed more quickly. Excellent service and beautiful workmanship.

My mailbox was hit today by a vehicle. I wasn't sure how bad it was damaged so I called Mailbox Solutions at approximately 4:45 PM. Joe returned my call within 30 minutes and went out of his way to come over to my house 2 hours later. His responsiveness, professionalism and honesty were outstanding. I would, most definitely, hire MailBox Solutions for any future mailbox needs.
Description of Work: Joe came over in the evening to inspect our mailbox and post to advise me on the extent of our damage. He provided good honest advice. As it turned out, my post and box did not need to be replaced.

Our mail box rotted off the post and fell to the ground. I called Friday June 29 at noon because one of my delivery persons would not deliver my mail if the box is not on the post. Joe answered the call and explained his service. I asked if he had a web site, so I could see for my self the details he was describing. That afternoon I received a quote and a promise to remove the old post and box and install a new post and box by Sunday July 1, just two days later! We really like the post and box and have to thank Joe for the great follow thru.

Because he was so busy, shortly after I called Joe he came out and solidly propped up the broken mailbox post with a metal bar until he could make and install a replacement post. This was very helpful, so much so that we received a note from our mail carrier thanking us for getting the mailbox back up so quickly. Once the ground thawed a bit and the new post was ready, it was installed well. He even returned on his own initiative to re-paint a portion of the post that was a bit thin. During a very busy time he was responsive, professional, and attentive to our needs, including the subdivision protocol for the post structure and color.

We called Mailbox Solutions on Saturday afternoon, spoke with Joe. He said they would be out Monday for sure, maybe could get to it SUNDAY. Sunday he came out, did a great job repairing the mailbox. Bill was exactly within estimate range and very reasonable. GREAT work. Thanks, Joe.
Description of Work: Our mailbox either blew down or had been hit previously, and was already loose. At any rate, the box and the post that it sat on were on the ground on Friday. Mailbox Solutions repaired the mailbox.
