Description of Work: Several years ago mailbox express installed mailbox and post. They did an excellent job and I was extremely happy with them. Recently I used them to replace mailbox only. Again was extremely happy with them. In fact I was amazed that I called them on a Friday and when I awoke Sunday morning mailbox had been replaced. I strongly recommend this company.

Jim did an amazing job at a very nice price (I had called one other mailbox company as well as a handyman and both were at least $80 more). Jim has a passion for what he does and he does it well. He even fixed my mailbox which was just starting to lean. I highly recommend Mailbox Xpress and would use this service again.
Description of Work: I backed into my neighbor's mailbox and broke their post on Monday. I found Mailbox Xpress on Angie's List on Tuesday. Jim was very responsive and gave me a quote that day and came out the following morning to install. He asked for a picture and measurement of my neighbor's mailbox (which was not damaged) and made a "standard" post with custom sizing to support the mailbox. When he came on Wednesday it was to install the new post, cement it in the ground and fasten the mailbox to the new post.

My mailbox was stolen a few days before Halloween and I needed a replacement immediately. I sent Mailboxxpress a note via Angie's list and within a few hours Mr. Jim Hughes responded to my request to have my mailbox repaired. Although we did not schedule an exact time for the repair, Mr. Hughes came to my home on Monday evening and installed my new mailbox in the dark. I was thinking to myself, you gotta be kidding me, he is going to try and install a new mailbox in the dark. Not only did he install a better mailbox than I had before, he also repainted my address to the wooden stand as well as the mailbox for a very reasonable price. I couldn't thank Jim enough for such great work and saving the day for me. Jim is without a doubt a consummate professional who is very passionate about his work!.

Arrived on the date promised at 11 pm. Took out the old post and mail box. Cut up the old post and put in the trash. Salvaged the old letters and attached to the new post. Redug and reshaped existing hole to permit placement of dry concrete mix. Installed new mailbox with requested lettering. Was done and out in approx 30-40 mins. Truck had work lights so he could work in the dark, Very quite so as not to wake up the neighbours.

We're very happy with our new mailbox and post. Jim did a very good job. He makes the posts himself and takes great pride in his work, which is quite refreshing in this day and age. In late July, Jim had left a flyer at our home. Since our old mailbox and post were getting very shabby, we gave him a call. We preferred to have the mailbox and post replaced quickly, since we were going on vacation within a few days. We also requested a gray mailbox, which is not one of his usual colors. Jim worked hard to accommodate us. He is very meticulous, and there were a couple of phone conversations because he wanted to make sure that he had just the right shade of gray paint, and he did! Jim cares a lot about customer service, and we were very pleased!

I called Mailbox Xpress on a Friday evening. Jim called me back on Saturday, and agreed to install the new post on Sunday. Despite the problems caused by Hurrican Irene that Saturday afternoon and evening, he showed up on Sunday and installed the post. Very easy to deal with, and a man of his word. I would highly recommend Mailbox Xpress to anyone.
Description of Work: Removed our old mailbox post, which had been broken by vandals. Detached our mailbox from old post and attached it to new one. Installed new mailbox post, embedding it in concrete.

It looks great. We didn't have to be home. He didn't make a mess. He cleaned up everything and left the cement where we could dispose of it. It rained the day he promised he would come, but he called and told us he couldn't do it in the rain. We are very happy with his work and his professionalism with the job. The materials are first rate and it was worth the money not to do it ourselves.
Description of Work: He removed our old mailbox and post. This wasn't easy since it was set in concrete and a concrete block. It involved a lot of digging. A new post and mailbox was put in it's place.

Typical situation, someone backed into my mailbox knocking it to the ground. No note. The mailmen really don't want to have to get out of their trucks to place your mail in the box laying sadly on the ground. I called Mailbox Express, Jim, late yesterday and after asking just a few questions he was on it. I left a check in a plastic bag under my front door mat and SURPRISE mailbox that I thought was a goner was back up and good as new. I am not sure what he did to repair but it looks great and I am one HAPPY customer! Magically happened early morning or overnight (not even sure which) but thanks Jim!

Initial contact Saturday 6/11. Despite problems with personal injury (which may have slowed his response slightly), Jim installed a new high-quality mailbox on Monday, as he originally promised. Very professionally done from start to finish.

I was extremely pleased with the service. All of my communication with the company owner was done over the phone and he was extremely prompt and responsive.He made recommendations about the product, but gave me ample space to make choices without feeling pressured. He allowed me to send a check by mail as payment, which was very convenient. He also did extra work to make the mailbox more accessible to my friend and the carrier.
Description of Work: I purchased a mailbox for a friend as a gift. The old mailbox and post were removed and a new post and mailbox were set up according to my specifications. In addition, the owner called to ask me if I would like the vegetation around the mailbox removed, at no additional charge, which he did. All work was completed on the date and time that was promised.

A car knocked over my mailbox and I'm both busy and not handy so I needed a new mailbox quickly. Jim was working in the neighborhood and left a circular so I called. As a previous user who rated him an F indicated, the owner Jim is clearly quirky. He called back once and missed me and then I couldn't reach him for several days. When I did reach him, though, he went out of his way to help. He explained (at greater length than I cared to hear) that his wood posts got wet in recent rains so he couldn't put in a new box with a painted post immediately for fear the wood would warp. But he came the next day and reinstalled my old mailbox for free so I would have it to use until he did install the new one.. When he put in the new box it looked good and was just as ordered.

He never arrived nor did he call to say that he could not come. I contacted him on Monday April 21st and he gave all kinds of excuses why he did not come on Saturday and then told me he would be at the house on Tuesday. He did not show up again and I called him to find out why he did not come to the house. We did not have to pay him until the job was completed, but since no service was done I told him to come and pick up the mailbox and post and that we did not want his services. He became belligerent and started yelling and then hung up on me. I would not recommend his services at all.
Description of Work: There was no service performed...we received a flyer in the mail advertising mailbox installations on Friday April 18th. We contacted the owner, Jim to let him know that we wanted our mailbox replaced. He came to our house in Olney, MD that evening and dropped off a mailbox and new post.

Response from Mailbox Xpress Inc
due to ilnesses and deaths, i probably owe this customer an apology! I don't think an F grade was appropriate as the price had to be fair or I wouldn't have even had the opportunity to do the work. I promise to be more diligent in the areas of timeliness and professionalism to all my future prospects/clients> p.s. As the potential client had seen the post/mailbox that I left, he would have cancelled the install based on that knowledge alone. As that was not the case an F in those areas was kind of just mean. Please also note that my company has a 5 year warranty and you don't pay until the work is completed to your satisfaction. I will address personally the other issues immediately. :)
