What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the product for easy installation on standard plastic mailboxes, often completing setup in under 10 minutes, and appreciate its affordability as a functional replacement. However, many criticize the all-plastic construction as flimsy, reporting that flag stems slip through housings and mounting plates warp, requiring improvisation with bolts and washers. Several note missing hardware despite being necessary for installation. A few find instructions unclear or feel the product doesn't justify its cost. Overall, most consider it adequate for basic replacement needs, though durability concerns limit satisfaction.

Fits my Beautiful Mailbox Company perfectly

Would Recommend

Fits my Beautiful Mailbox Company perfectly - matching up with the holes in my mailbox. I had to add a washer, as the flag wobbled in the up position and did not lock well in the up position. Worked it out, but completes my paint spruce up of my mailbox - everyone says it looks brand new.

Don't waste your money.

Piece of junk. Had to drill 3 new holes. Plastic piece that was supposed to fit in the holes was cheap and didn't hold.

does the job, but barely

Would Not Recommend

Flimsy at best; it was the only choice available at the store. Would like a metal option or something more heavy duty. Seems to be barely holding on, and we just installed it last week.

Poor Quality

Would Not Recommend

Cheap plastic, knobs to secure did not line up to my metal mailbox holes and template was destroyed when opening package. This was the only option available at Lowes, no metal flags.

Deficient housing.

Would Recommend

The new flag is fine, but the square housing fails to hold the flag upright because its wider channel lets the flag's stem slide right past the catch. I re-used the old housing instead. The side-by-side photo, with the new one on the right, shows the difference in channel width. If you have to use the included case, you could try wrapping some tape around the stem to make it thicker.
