Answer This Question

Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes this post has to pieces that are held together by an expansion joiner.

    The poles turn where they are connected. I have tightened the headless screws which keeps the 2 poles from separating but it still twists. I fear this will eventually loosen the base. What can I do to keep it from turning at that connection?

    You can try "sealing washers" and larger sheet metal screws.

          Answer This Question

          The headless screw is long enough you just have to keep tightening the screw until you feel resistance is felt and the inner expansion joiner does not move. Tighten at least another rotation until the expansion joiner is locked in place. I have linked below our company video on how to assemble this post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrBD4Rc-cgU

                        How can you put the mail box in the ground 20" and have enough height left on the post to place the mailbox at 45" off the ground according to Postal Regulations? The post is only 53" and when you take 45" from 53" how do you hold it up?

                        The regulated height requirement is 41"-45" from road surface according to USPS. Depending on your installation and location, this post may not work and it is good to check prior to purchasing as we try to accomodate most installations.

                              Unable to complete installation due to faulty part
                              The product arrived in good condition and the initial assembly was easy. However, after securing the lower section of the tube with concrete, I encountered an issue when using the jointer to connect the two pipe sections. The upper screw installed without any problems. However, when I moved to the second screw on the lower tube, I noticed an issue with the threads on the jointer, and the headless screw would not thread properly. I tried using an electric drill, and the screw was able to go in about one-third of the way before completely seizing. When I attempted to remove it, the screw became stuck and cannot be taken out. As a result, the post is not fully secured, and I am also unable to remove the screw from the section that has already been set in concrete, which makes it very difficult to correct the issue or return it.

                                Horrible design
                                I bought this a while back, but I haven’t had time to install it, the bracket that goes in the center if you tighten the screws down, they go in and the brace drops all the way to the bottom. It is a horrible design.

                                  Easy install and easy to attach to our existing mailbox.we dug a hole and added cement which was a little more work, but this pole is easy to attach to mailbox. Excellent quality, heavy duty metal. Would buy again, but hopefully not needed.

                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our old mailbox post was wood and I had to paint it twice a year because it flaked off. It looked horrible. It’s amazing how a simple post can make all the difference. This does require concrete to be set, which I didn’t realize when I got it but a quick trip to the hardware store fixed that quickly. My husband got some foaming concrete kit that expands as it locks into place. Very simple to install. Very happy with how it looks!

                                        No More Wobble
                                        Installed by a previous owner who did a poor job. Like one reviewer said, my mailbox wobbled like a bobble head. Initially I though nothing of it. After the third time after a strong wind knocked it down, I decided to fix the problem. I initially was going to replace it, but did not feel inclined to dig, etc. Straight to the point, I bought two 3/8-16x2 Hex Tap bolts. Problem solved. No more wobble. If you just want a mailbox that is inexpensive and serves it purpose, choose this one.

                                          Poor construction, poor quality control
                                          Like others have said, you get what you pay for. The connector will not hold the two parts of the pole tightly no matter how tight the screws are. I ended up putting a brace in the ground next to the pole and connecting with zip ties, to keep the top from flopping around. It looks terrible but I figure this won't last the winter anyway and I'll have to redo the whole project. Poor quality control as there are 4 bolts for attaching the mailbox; each bolt needs a nut and two washers. One of the bolts had no washers with it (or loose in the bag). So I'll have to go to the store to get two washers since they weren't careful enough to include everything that is needed. Stay away from this piece of junk!
