I am happy every time I look at my mailbox - it's just beautiful. While it was a relief to get "new mailbox" checked off on my to-do list it's so much better than that. I got the oversized box and the house numbers engraved on the granite post (killing two birds with one stone since my new old house didn't have a house number on it) and it really exceeded my expectations. Mailbox Doctor was a pleasure to work with - fun, friendly and very responsive. I highly recommend them.

Ken was prompt, professional and a pleasure to do business with. Ken dug down a couple of feet and installed a 7 inch granite post. Also attached 2 extra large aluminum mailboxes with house numbers on the boxes. The boxes were attached with one on each side of the post. He uses very good quality materials that look great and should last a long time.

This was one of the easiest contractor experiences I've ever had. I browsed The Mailbox Doctor website to choose a mailbox and post, messaged Ken on Angie's List with the details, and then he said it'd be done within 5-7 days. I didn't even need to be home for it. I ended up being home anyway, so I was able to meet Ken in person. He was very friendly and quick. The new mailbox looks great, and was totally affordable. Highly recommended.

I am very pleased with the new mailbox and granite post. They did an excellent job. I put in a request on the web site to be called and Ken called me back to discuss the details. Ken gave me great advice on the size of the granite post 7x7 since I was going with oversized mailbox. Overall the new mailbox looks really great and I highly recommend Mailbox doctor if you are looking to have a new mailbox installed.
Description of Work: I needed a new mailbox installed with a granite post. The mailbox doctor web site was very helpful to let you know the cost up front and there are photos of mailboxes to give you an idea of how it is going to look. We had chosen 7x7 granite post and oversized mailbox with white wood bracket.

I sent an initial inquiry via email last October, and he promptly communicated back to me with email. He then followed up with a phone call, showed up to the site and quickly installed a new mailbox post and box for me, just in tome for the winter season. He is very professional, and pleasant to work with. I am completely satisfied with his service.
Description of Work: I did not think my old mailbox post and box, which was badly damaged by the city's snow plow truck last winter, would be able to withstand another bad truck this winter season, so I decided to have it replaced with a new one.

We LOVE our new granite post and mailbox, it's beautiful and adds a great shot of curb appeal! From the very first email, Ken, the owner and installer, was very responsive. It took us a while to determine exactly what we wanted and when we wanted to do the installation because of summer vacations and waiting for other contractors to reply with estimates. However, we finally narrowed it down to Mailbox Doctor because he was the only one who paid attention to exactly what we were asking for and always replied very promptly to our emails. He did make a point, after our first contact with him, to let us know that it is best not to try to communicate through Angie's List as those messages do not always get reliably transmitted. Anyway... when we finally gave Ken the exact specs of what we wanted it was only a matter of 10 days before he was at our home with his crane truck and the engraved granite post and hardware. He showed up on time, did the installation himself and very kindly responded to all my questions during the process. We were relocating the new post a foot or so back from the old post, and he also removed the old post and box, filled the old hole and took it away with him for disposal. It was a very positive experience. He made a point of letting us know he also services everything he sells, so we feel very comfortable knowing if there's ever an issue we can give him a call. But we don't expect there will be any issues, that's why we wanted this particular mailbox set-up, no issues!
Description of Work: We replaced our old wooden post and mailbox with an engraved granite post and new aluminum mailbox and aluminum mailbox bracket. We did a lot of research online and found a MA company, Westwood Mills, that sells granite posts and aluminum mailboxes and accessories. When we saw that Mailbox Doctor was a distributor for this company that put us in the right direction to get everything we wanted.

That week came and went and no Ken. I called and left a message at the end of the week asking him to return my phone call, and no call came. Bummed, as I had been waiting for him to put in the mailbox so I could do some planting of some bulbs, trying to time it with the season, etc. It's not the end of the world, just disappointing as I was looking forward to giving my money to a local guy, based on the positive reviews. I'm sure if he'd call in a week or two I'd probably happily give him my money, but at least a phone call saying Sorry, turns out I can't get to you until two weeks from now, might have been nice so I could have planned.
Description of Work: I called, talked to him about the ad I saw in the Action Unlimited flier, he encouraged me to go to the website and fill out the information. I asked if he just couldn't take my info now since we were on the phone. He gave me the total, said he'd be out the following week sometime and leave a bill in the mailbox.

I no longer support Angies list customers because due to the lack of reviews for work done. Customer do not enter reviews for excellent work done, it seems they only write reviews if they have something negative to say. I have talked to my rep with Angies list but it seems they do not have a process or resolution in place to resolve this problem. This year II have spent 1800 dollars advertising with Angies list and I have only received two reviews. One positive and one negative reviews from all my Angies list customers.

I have NO idea where [Member name removed] is coming from. I called him several time and he did not respond and I also sent him a message on Angies (see below). Also the prices were in the 300 to 400 dollar range NOT 1000 dollars. I am getting really tired of Angies customers not posting excellent service but use Angies list to hammer business and make up issues that do not exist. MAILBOX DOCTOR 6/17/2015 [Member name removed], I just checked my voice mail and my mailbox is not full so if you could call me at 978-844-2956. I went back on my voice mails from last Thursday so for some reason you call in not going through. I will call you today. Sorry for the confusion, Ken

I am sorry for the communication issues but I did respond to your request through email. Mailbox Doctor tries to cover request outside a 20 mile zone of Acton, MA whenever possible but at this time due to the influx of request we are not able to assist in the installation of your mailbox. I am sorry for the email confusion and I apologies for the mix up and I am willing to make a special exception and make the trip to you location. Let me know if you still would like Mailbox Doctor to install you mailbox, Sorry, Ken

Verry disappointing experience I now have a second rate, improperly constructed mailbox post with a munged, but finally correct color mailbox that has a bent cover. I had to unbend latch and flap handle. The two pieces of the post have a terrinle and ugly fit; there are random pencil marks and superfluous screw holes in/on the stock used. After several delays (vacation, awaiting mailbox shipment- installation of wrong color ) white was "out of stock, will replace it". First complaint by email was responded by "i didn't get the attachment" there was none - I replied, and repeated the complaints; it's been almost 2 more weeks with no response. Ken seems like a nice guy, but since I don't seem to be able to get a response, I feel have to write this reviewMy House

I checked out [member name removed] 6x 6 granite post when I replace the black mailbox with a white mailbox. I always check out the mailbox to make sure it opens and closes prior to leaving the installation. I am sorry if something happen to the clip on the door after I left the site. As far as the additional screw on the horizontal post I always add these screws to prevent splitting in the 6 x 6 pressure treated post. Due to [member name removed] complaint I have decided to no longer offer 6 x 6 pressure post next season. Ken

We had him remove the old mailbox and install a new mailbox in a different location. The old mailbox was held down with a big, heavy block of cement which required a lot of digging and hard work to get it out. It was also a very hot day We told him he could leave the cement in the ground but he said that wasn't the right way to do it. He was a true professional. The new mailbox is beautiful!

My old mailbox and post were damaged by the snow plows during our harsh winter. I ordered a new mailbox and granite post from the company's website and the owner, Ken, was prompt in responding to me and scheduling an installation date. They removed the old mailbox and post and installed a very impressive granite post and sturdy mailbox. They even replanted the flower bulbs around the mailbox post. They knew the US Post Office requirements for height and distance from the street so I didn't need to worry that the mailbox would be placed in the wrong location.

I reached out to them and one of their competitors, I spoke to both, they both advised me that I had to do everything threw their website, which was kind of strange considering I was on the phone with them and ready to order. honestly, had I found a company that didn't require me to do everything on their website, I would have used that company. It must be an industry thing, if I had the time I'd open up a mailbox repair company and dominate that industry, by just talking to prospective leads. I went on their site and made my order, they emailed me to confirm and I made some changes, they made the order. I got a call from my wife about 10 days later saying they were at my house. She said the guy who did the work, she believed to be the owner was extremely nice and very polite to her. I am very happy with the quality of the work and the mailbox and post. I think it came out amazing. I said to my wife, we have the nicest mailbox in the whole neighborhood, the neighbors are all going to be jealous. haha I would 100% recommend this company, I just wished it was easier to do the order process, other than that I give them a 10 out of a 10. Thanks Mailbox Doctor
