Just got my large parcel post big mail box on my big daddy post hit by a driver. Yep mail box was destroyed but minimal damage to big daddy post. Can say there was probably more damage to hit and run drivers truck. My damage was $$ thinking theirs was $$$$ exactly why I had it built!😂

Applause Applause!! Bravo ! Man! Yes I literally clapped my hands at the end of your video. Damn nice work. Getting ready to install the exact same mailbox and your video will be implemented. Can't go wrong man. Just what I needed. Thank you

Excellent video. You are da man!

I just finished making this mailbox post for my extra-large mailbox and used your dimensions and instructions. Turned out GREAT! I didn't realize how heavy a 93" 6x6 would be :-)... so I enlisted the help of my grandson to install the post. He did a great job.

Hay, Dennis, I found a mailbox matching the size to your mailbox, I found it in our local hard ware store and right at $62 /24"×15"×11", I plan on adding some extra boards for reinforcements, yeah, mailboxes can be made to look nice, but you know as well as I do, government regulation will only allow us to build it only so heavy, I'm sure we all have each other's back on these mailbox ideas, carry on fort Knox 😎🇺🇸👍

Thanks Dennis, you shared this just in time because I have to get a bigger mailbox as well.

Great job on both the project and the video!

Yet again another great job thanks for spending the time and effort...

Thanks for you time to make the mailbox video.

Hi, Dennis. Thanks for showing me how to do this. I did one for my in-laws and we’re all pleased how it turned out. 👍🏻📫👍🏻 Sorry I don’t know how to attach a photo of me standing next to the completed project to show you my version. Aaron

Great video Dennis thank you

Thanks so much for your time and effort on this instructional video. I followed your lead and am quite happy with the results. My equipment was a bit more crude, and as others have posted, a 6 x 6 is no joke. Ultimately the end result was well worth the effort. I did use your link for the purchase of the mail box so I hope it helped. Happy Easter!

Great video, Dennis. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Great job looks good

I can confirm that this mailbox is indeed a big daddy

Nice job thanks

awesome! been meaning to do this

I currently have a standard mailbox and I too receive packages. Since I moved here to S.C. my mail carriers think the box is large enough to shove boxes inside. It isn't. When I first moved here the mail carrier shoved an Amazon box in my mailbox that barely fit and it broke off my flag. I had a hard time pulling the box out and almost fell over backward doing it. This man would do this all the time because he was fat and lazy. After he retired his replacement or replacements did the same thing. I can't tell you how many times I have complained to the Post Office about this and they continue doing it to this day. Not only this but EVERY mail carrier will not close the mailbox door. I get so angry about this. The mailbox is plastic and to close the door you have to make sure it's closed or it won't close. Today I ordered a brand new steel mailbox and it's listed as an Architectural mailbox 6300B-10 Oasis locking mailbox extra large. The mail carrier won't be able to shove boxes in this mailbox; only letters and maybe thin padded envelopes. She will have to get her lazy butt out of that mail truck and bring my packages to my front porch. I won't have to worry about having any mail stolen. I haven't had any stolen that I am aware of but for sure none will get stolen when I install this new box. I don't need a new post, just the box. I hope it fits. Thank you for your video. It was very helpful!

Hello SIR , not gonna worry about names right now, but I'm gonna put it this way, l absolutely love the size of your mail box, I'd like to know where did you find that size mail box, that's exactly what I want, I've just recently been studying mailbox post and different videos, and you just made first place, the winner at 1st place design, with your mailbox being 12" wide, I plan on using the biggest possible post I can get away with, but not only am I gonna use the cross base for the box ,itself, I think I'm gonna use a piece the very same size over the top, and I wasn't sure about the regulations about postal residency rules, and apparently there are mailbox spec's that you have abide by, now I've got it, I absolutely love that monster mailbox, perfect ! ! !, and I also plan on putting plywood pieces on the inside and outside, just to match the contour of the mailbox, I'm not crazy about only being allowed to be only 2ft in the ground, ,but I have another idea to cover the given back up with the security of the mailbox itself, if you have a tree, a flowered Bush in your lawn/yard, or a handy security night post ,close by handy, a lot of deer hunters use a lot of trail cameras, and some of them use motion detection,,and you can also use a high quality security camera mounted somewhere close by, and if it does get hit , you have video proof, and I just decided the penalty will be ,repair cost plus fine cost, that would give them a reason to bitch about it for a while, stories are always drifting around, creativity of the mind never stops, my door is always open, wayneeden95@gmail.com

Mailbox visual notification of mail

I just received a mailbox that size that I ordered. Looking at the shipping box I am worried it will look ridiculous when I get it set up.

How far should the mailbox be from the curb/road? Too close and it may get hit by cars, too far and it is an arm stretcher for the mailman

Hello, I live in Belgium and I would like to build the same thing but I do not know the dimensions of: the height of the mailbox from the ground Thank you Very good work anyway

What SPECIFIC brand of extra large mailbox did you buy?
