Frequently asked questions

Is mailbox post replacement always $400?

The public post replacement price is $400 for compatible standard jobs. Unusual site conditions or incompatible mailbox setups may require a different recommendation before scheduling.

Can I keep my existing mailbox and only replace the post?

Yes, if the mailbox is in good condition and compatible with the replacement post. Photos usually help us confirm this quickly.

When should I replace the whole mailbox instead?

If the mailbox body is rusted, dented, outdated, or incompatible with a new post, a full installed replacement package may be the better long-term value.
