Architectural Mailboxes 7900-7R-SR Boulder Mailbox, Red

Roomy and well-made mailbox. Nice gloss red finish. Like the magnetic door latch- it works better than the standard mechanical ones.

I’m super pleased with this mailbox. It’s larger than a typical mailbox without looking huge. Roomy enough for a few small packages & a pile of mail. The red color is perfect. I specifically bought this so I could tell people “it’s the one with the red mailbox” because our house is easy to miss. And it works great! You wouldn’t believe all the compliments I get for it. It fit right onto the same post I already had for my smaller mailbox. Easy to install. No rust so far after more than 1 year. Still looks brand new. Door works well, no problems. My vinyl stickers stuck really well. Great buy!

After working for USPS, and I now understand their pain, I decided I wanted to do something nice for my letter carriers and get them a larger box so if I have packages/ spurs they can just put them in the mailbox and not have to dismount and literally run to the door and back to the truck as they are timed and tracked. It was a little bit of work to mount but mostly because it was bigger than the last one so we had to use a larger piece of wood to mount it to the post but when we were finished we were happy with the results. It’s attractive, durable and roomy. To me the price was reasonable. Overall I like it and serves the purpose. Do your letter carriers a favor and get a larger mailbox. They’ll thank you. Oh and I forgot to mention, the carpenter bee approved it too 😆.

Wonderfully large, simply made, my postman said he liked the size and ease of use.

Just had a couple of dents on the top. Didn't return, didn't want the hassle. Next one might be the same.

We live in the woods. Delivery drivers and friends always missed the drive. Now they can see it the red box. Our mail carrier loves it because it holds small packages. Very solid door closing mechanism. Mail is dry. Platform base is a perfect fit for the 4x4 wood post.

Really like the box - simple, sharp looking and (hopefully) built to last.Purchased the Zippity Outdoor Products ZP19013 Classica Mailbox Post system to install this on - neither Zippity or Architectural Mailboxes does a stellar job of helping the consumer properly design/prepare for install. It was unclear whether I would need a mailbox base/bracket, and even if I did no specific type was suggested/listed for this box (at the time of my purchase, at least).After receiving the mailbox (and comparing it to the part of the post system that it would attach to) it became clear I would need a board/base/bracket. I cut a piece of plywood to fit, but it wasn't quite thick enough to flush up the bottom of the box so I stopped at the local big box store to find one base available - luckily branded as Architectural Mailboxes! After a few attempts it became clear that this base would not work with this mailbox - the instruction of the base spelled out which type (letter) boxes it was compatible with, unfortunately the manufacturer didn't take the time to assign/disclose what type this particular box is.In any case I went with the plywood I had cut, marking holes and drilling as seemed appropriate, and mounted to the post system. I think it will be fine, but it certainly seemed unnecessary to have so much doubt and uncertainty leading up to installation time, let alone the amount of time I had to Macgyver a solution on the fly.

I'm pretty happy with this purchase, plenty of room to hold all the junk mail. I purchased this from Amazon Warehouse so there was a couple dings on it from not being packed up properly when it was returned originally. Color is nice, more like a Fire Engine Red, we'll have to see how it handles summer in the South. As others have mentioned the fasteners used to attach the door to the body and the magnet that holds it shut are all plastic, it seems like a silly engineering choice to do it like this, surely metal would be the more durable and longer lasting option and could hardly cost 5cents more. Also wish they offered an option for a Gold colored flag & handle.
