I’ve mentioned a few times over the last year that I need to get a new mailbox for our house, but yesterday it became clear that I’ve got to replace it soon, preferably this month.

Yesterday as I took the few pieces of mail that we’d received out of our mailbox it completely fell off the wall! That hinge that’s always acting up had caught on my hand and as I lifted out the mail the whole box came away attached to my hand and the mail I was trying to pull out of it.

No more of this! It’s time to get a new mailbox.

I took a look at the various mailboxes at Mailboxixchange and I was pleased with their selection. Our current, broken, mailbox came with our house so I’ve never really shopped for a mailbox.

Mailboxixchange carries the full line of Whitehall Mailboxes. Within that line of mailboxes you can choose from Personalized Mailboxes if you’d like. You know, ones with your monogram, your house number or even your house number and street name on them.

We live on a street with a long name so if we decided to purchase one of their Custom Mailboxes I think I’d just get our house number on it.

Along with the variety of styles that they have to choose from I also like that Whitehall mailboxes are cast from recycled die cast rust free aluminum. The metal is poured into a mold and then undergoes a substantial amount of pressure. This means that the mailboxes are lightweight yet made out of extremely dense metal that will withstand years of use.

Our current mailbox is a wallmount mailbox inside our enclosed porch. It’s very convenient to collect our mail – especially during the winter months. I might however, take a look at post mounted mailboxes. I’ve always liked the look of that type of mailbox and a post mounted mailbox might look nice. I’ll have to think about it.
