Ratings & Reviews for RELIABILT Mailbox Post Black Steel Flat Mount Mailbox Post

Needed wood block as tapping block that came with

Easy to install.

Poor Craftsmanship

Do not buy. I thought this would be easier than other posts but it proved to be a pain to install and none of the holes lined up. You have to hammer this into the ground which is a workout, then you have to hammer the top portion to the one you hammered into the ground and screw it together, however the holes didn't align and it was hammered flush. I managed to get the screws in but it didn't look pretty. Then the top portion that holds the mailbox is off center and also the holes didn't line up...

Decent if came with all parts

Missing hardware

Very sturdy

The post is easy to put together and install. The "drilling" cap could be made a little better it broke on me. Also not to.be used with a sledgehammer

This product is trash

This product is trash. The mating connection only has 2 screws witch give it a pivot point ant the post wobbles if you look at it wrong.

Issue with Joining the two post parts together

I like the product design. It works well with where it had to be located. However, after putting the full post in the ground, I inserted the screws that secured the posts together. When I tighten the screws the top post rocked back and forth, not a lot, but seems to me over time something would come loose. I even used a 2x4 and hammer and hit the tip post on the top edge thinking it wasn't seated, that didn't do anything. When I assembled the unit in my house both posts fit tight together (...

Post needs re- design as just one piece.

My new siding on the house will have less holes in

Easy to install

You need a mallet for installation.

It was very easy to install and did not need concrete or post hole diggers.

Highly recommend.

Excellent product!

Works but be careful when pounding

The universal mount fit the 20-year-old mailbox from my broken old post. I chose this new post so that I wouldn't have to deal with concrete. Two weeks in and it's still standing. This post comes with two plastic caps, one to use when pounding the post into the ground and another to seal the post after installing. The instructions say to use a separate pounding block (like a piece of dense wood) "if you have hard soil". I would say you should use a separate block regardless, because if you use t...

Front or Side Mounted??? Actually Front

I needed a new mailbox post - the old wooden one had rotted through below ground and broke - and this looked like a good replacement. So I got it - but never thought to see if the mailbox would be front or side mounted, as I thought they are all front mounted. Got it home and, as I opened the box I saw the pic on the box clearly showing side mounting as did the instructions and the pix in Customer Reviews. Aaarrrghh! But then I looked at the actual Support Arm and it was configured for front mou...

Isn't wide enough for mail to fit right

It should be wider for big envelopes to fit better.
