Well, that got me to thinking outside the box and so I said, "Ya know, I wonder if putting that money toward a 3D printer would do the job, be useful for other things, and a whole lot more fun and than getting fleeced by a mailbox company that corners the market, holding homeowners hostage because their mailbox MUST MATCH the other mailboxes in the neighborhood, so the markup on price is exorbitant and just plain silly."

Sounds like that just might work! TAKE THAT, Rip-off Mailbox Company! HAH!

Thank you.

Just curious, but does your friend live in Silverthorn, in Spring Hill, FL?

They have the tackiest mailboxes I've ever seen. I almost didn't buy there, because of the dopy mailboxes .... $250 to replace one, too.
