Find the Perfect Mailbox, Mailbox Numbers and More at Lowe’s

Choosing a mailbox for your home or business takes a little thought — especially if you want it to be stylish as well as functional. From residential mailboxes to apartment mailboxes, Lowe’s has the selection to meet your needs. Whether you want a simple wooden mailbox or a fancy mailbox with an intricate design, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for either in store or online. Just need accessories, like reflective mailbox numbers? From simple add-ons to all-new mailbox setups, we can help you find exactly what you need.

Mailbox Styles

Before choosing a mailbox, consider how your mail is delivered. If mail comes by vehicle, post-mount rural mailboxes or pedestal mailboxes are ideal choices. These are usually located at the end of your driveway or along the curb. If your mail carrier gets out of the vehicle for delivery or drops mail door to door, check out wall-mount mailboxes and wall mail slots. 

Worried about keeping your mail and packages secure? Opt for a locking mailbox to protect against mail theft. Or you can attach a lock and start locking and unlocking your mailbox with a key. Locks for mailboxes are a simple yet effective way to deter mail theft. 

Mailboxes have come a long way, and today there are plenty of decorative mailboxes to choose from. Whether you prefer an antique or modern aesthetic, we have a variety of options. Shop by color or material to make it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. If you want to switch up the look of your mailbox regularly, check out magnetic mailbox covers. We have several options, like New York Giants mailbox wraps, Chicago Bears options and more.

Mailbox Sizes and Materials

Something else to consider when choosing a mailbox is the volume of mail that arrives on a regular basis. We have sizes ranging from small mailboxes to extra-large mailboxes, which are great for large packages and high volumes of post. You might also consider a heavy-duty mailbox, which can withstand the weather and elements where you live. Metal options like steel and aluminum provide strength and durability, while plastic options are easy to maintain and are resistant to damaging factors like rust. 

From post-mount mailboxes and wall-mount mailboxes to locking mailboxes, Lowe’s is your one-stop shop for unique options. We even have the parts and accessories you need to complete installation or repair, including mailbox door replacements and mailbox numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the best material for a mailbox?

A: When it comes to choosing the best mailbox, think about durability first. Mailboxes must withstand the elements daily, including extreme heat and cold, rain, snow, and more. Plastic mailboxes are great because they’re durable and aren’t prone to issues like rust. That said, they’re not the best choice in extremely hot climates. Aluminum and steel mailboxes are very durable, and they’re highly rust-resistant. Consider your home’s geographic location when choosing the best mailbox material for your needs.

Q: How does a mail slot work?

A: You can use a mail slot for walk-up delivery of mail as opposed to options for curbside delivery like post-mount mailboxes. The mail carrier delivering mail simply opens the mail slot on a door and pushes mail through the slot into the home or business. For instructions on how to install a mail slot, check out our how-to guide.

Q: Should mailbox numbers go on both sides of a mailbox?

A: Ideally, mailbox numbers should go on both sides of a mailbox to make your home easier to find. This is important for mail and package delivery but also for allowing emergency responders and guests to easily identify your home.
