    If I may- when you do these things, it would be nice to have some kind of idea as to which name goes with which image in the above layout. A number key, or something. Otherwise you kind of have to click on a bunch of links to discern what's what, especially when, as above, there aren't really clear horizontal or vertical rows.

    Apologies, I am an information design geek. I'll be shutting up now.

    stonelake,
    we do try to do that...we follow the order of the photos by rows from the top left.

    we'll give your number idea a try soon though, thanks for the suggestion!

    "we follow the order of the photos by rows from the top left."
    I think if you had just put that explanation in the text that would have been fine.

    Are there any others that can go out at the curb?

    I found a really cool post mount mailbox at the Mailbox Works website at http://www.mailboxworks.com/HA_DaVinciPost.html. It's a little pricey, but they have a lot of others on the site.

    It looks like the mailbox mentioned in the last post is in a different spot on the website. I found it here: DaVinci Mailbox. You’ll see a lot of beautiful contemporary mailboxes on this site, MailboxWorks.

    I dont know, that company mailboxworks above seems a bit sketchy. Just found this comment about them:

    I purchased a column mounted mailbox online on Jan. 9th for almost $300. I received the order about a week later and was surprised when I opened the box and only the front piece of the mailbox was included. When I called the company, I learned that the remainder of the mailbox was an 'accessory' that I needed to purchase for an additional $290. This information is not easily seen on the webpage. After some discussion, I decided to go ahead and purchase the second piece. While taking my order online, the rep. stated that my total included a $50 shipping fee. The website clearly states that this mailbox has free shipping. I asked why I was being charged $50 shipping and they said that this item was an accessory ...despite the fact that I had to order seperately from the mailbox because of their unclear website! I am really unhappy with their service and would NOT SHOP with them again. When ordering, be very careful! L. Calaway

    Actual Review

    I am sure there are better companies out there to deal with.
