Questions & Answers
Does the height of the post comply with USPS regulations.
Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes our product is USPS approved. We suggest contacting your local post office for correct placement and height requirements.
Where do I get Replacement Mounting Plate for Architectural Mailbox #7507B which has 3" diameter post?
How tall is this post?
This is 56 inches tall.
About 55 inches. The post really adds some class to your mailbox. I added a couple of red reflector tapes to each side.
The product specifications for this post on Homedepot.com list the height as 56 inches.
Does this post comply with USPS guidelines? It appears that the diameter (4”) is too wide to meet the requirements.
Yes, it does. The regulation of 4" diameter is for wood posts. The actual metal post is enclosed in the decorative light weight outside part, and inside the metal post meets requirements. I also installed the new Next Generation metal mailbox which is a flatter box shape and can hold packages. See usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htn
See this page on the USPS site regarding mailbox and post size recommendations: https://www.usps.com/manage/mailboxes.htm. The post size recommendations are taken from the Federal Highway Administration and mention an upper size range of 4" X 4". At a 4" maximum diameter, this post falls within that range.
Our USPS never complained about our mailbox post. In fact this post is smaller than many on the street. This is a very classy post.
Hi Lisa, the steel post has a 3 inch diameter and complies with USPS guidelines. Thanks for reaching out and let us know if you have any other questions!
Is the pole hollow all the way through? Is it capable of running an power line through it?
Yes, the pole is hollow with plenty of room for wires.
Hello, the steel post is not solid and although it is hollow and a line could run through the post, the post is designed to be be installed into the ground. We recommend using a square foot of concrete to install the post, which would make running a power line through the post difficult. Thanks for reaching out!
What is this post made of?
Steel - It holds our English Post Box great!
Hello, the 3 in. round post is constructed of galvanized steel and the base cover is a cast aluminum fluted base. All parts are fully powder coated. Thanks for reaching out!
The post is made of galvanized steel.
The post is galvanized powder-coated steel. The decorative cover is powder-coated cast aluminum.
Will this base work with the Chadwick model?
Yes, it should.
Hi Dawn, Model #8950B-10 Chadwick Post Mount Mailbox is compatible with the Basic In-Ground Post with Decorative Cover (Model #7507B). Thanks for reaching out!
I just received this item and was wondering what the extra hardware is for. Specifically the 4 2" screws and nuts and 4 black plastic spacers that are about an inch long and 1/2 thick? Looks like those black spacers fit over the 2" screws, but for what? The instructions do not reference this extra hardware.
Hi flanker, it sounds like the extra hardware you have is for attaching your mailbox to the post. You are correct that the black spacers fit over the 2" screws. You would use these if you were to install your mailbox via the side mounting holes that we offer on some of our mailboxes. Your post is fully assembled! Thank you for reaching out.
It is used to screw in your mailbox into the post. It is extra strength to keep the mailbox and the post together.
