Dear Barre, Thank you for letting Outdoor Essentials know about your frustrating experience with the selection of wood fence posts that your local store has in stock and picked for your order. We do value you as a customer and can assure you that our posts are normally of excellent quality. However, as wood dries, it may split, cup and warp, which are natural occurrences of wood. We highly recommend hand-selecting your posts at your local store to make sure you are getting the pieces that work best for your project. If there is anything that we, as the manufacturer, can do regarding the posts, please contact us at CustomerService@OutdoorEssentialProducts.com, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

You get what you pay for I guess...
Ordered for store pickup, should have gone through the store stock to select a better post. Several cracks (almost as many as the old 15+ year old post), loose joints (used decking screws to repair).

Dear HomeDepotShopper, we are sorry to hear this product did not meet your expectations. Treated wood is typically still wet when it's delivered to our retailers. As lumber dries, it may split, cup and warp, which are natural occurrences of wood. If you would like the opportunity to discuss the issue further, please reach out to UFP Retail Solutions at UFPRetailCS@UFPI.com, referencing this review, and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

    Too short. Needs to be about a foot longer to meet postal regulations.

    Too short.
    A 6' post doesn't allow you to bury the post more than 1' and at that, the height of the actual box is at the minimum of postal regulations. I would think burying it at one foot could allow heaving from the ground in cold winters.

      The cuts are sloppy, and the fit and finish there's no pride put into it.

      All the posts in the store had slight defects of on kind or another. I picked one with the least amount of splits in the wood. This is my third post in 27 years as they tend to rot at ground level over time; for the price I can’t complain.

      A good, sturdy mailbox post replacing one that was damaged by a vehicle. You will have to look for one that is good (no splits, checks or knots that may cause problems) and you should check the nails holding the pieces together. I added GRK screws to make sure the Pressure Treated Gothic-top Mailbox Post was not coming apart any time soon.

      We like the look of this post, as it's a little different than just a 4X3. The post is good and lasts quite a long time. The one we replaced was 14 years old, so we don't expect to have to replace this one any time soon. It's a little pricey compared to others but when you divide that by 14 years, it's really not bad!

      Does not meet postal code requirements
      The top flat that would be the bottom of the mailbox is 56" from the bottom. After burying the post 24" postal code states it has to be 41" - 45". Put the two together it is 65" at the minimum. The posts are made 9" below the minimum specs!
