By C. MacPhail
Disclosure: The manufacturer sent me a free mailbox for review after seeing my amazon review of the Solar Group RSKB0000 Curbside Locking Mailbox. I feel this is an impartial review. I have no connection to any mailbox manufacturer.I researched several locking mailboxes for the benefit of 104 homeowners in my neighborhood. Hoped to find a 5-star box. Not yet. Mail Boss is one of the better choices.Security: It's way more secure than your neighbor's sub-$100 locking mailbox. Prying it open with a 24" crowbar would take some time and effort. However, someone could fish for mail using a 10" grabber tool, and you'd never know. (Security comparison below.)Comparison with Architectural Mailboxes Oasis Mailbox: [not Oasis Jr.] I did a careful hands-on comparison. Advantages to each, but I did end up preferring the Mail Boss. The Mail Boss is:- - Much more pry resistant. Thicker steel (14/12 gauge vs 16/14). Recessed door top. Heavier lock, Hook-style lock tab.- - About equally resistant to fishing for mail.- - More resistant to fishing for packages (Packages in the Oasis may stand tall.)- - Will not accept packages thicker than 1-7/8" (Oasis hopper style door will accept appx 12" x 6" x 4")- - Will accept some large 1-3/4"+ packages that the Oasis won't (rare)- - Deeper and much less tall than the Oasis (MB: 11.2"w x 13.7"h x 21"d; Oasis: 13.5"w x 20"h x 18.5"d)- - Similar Capacity: appx 1400 cu in. (Oasis has appx 28% more capacity than Mail Boss at hand-fishing limit. See below.)- - Protects from wind-blown rain using inset door-tops (Oasis will more easily take in water if its rubber seals degrade.)- - Slightly less expensivePro's:- - Serious anti-pry design- - Includes 3 keys and reflective address numbers- - Clean look. Not too tall; Looks OK mounted next to smaller mailboxes- - Easy mounting system. Lag screws & drill bit providedCons:- - Rust will eventually get to it (like any steel mailbox)...(Avoid white model.)- - It's possible to fish for mail.- - 10"x13" envelopes hang in the mail slot due to textured mailbox floor (like most other mailboxes) (add smooth cardboard to rear of floor)- - Workmanship is flawed, but acceptable (like most other mailboxes)Specs:- - Inbound Slot: 1-7/8"h x 10.2"w- - Max Package: 1-7/8"h x 10.2"w x 14.5"- - Mail Capacity: 11"w x 18-1/4"d x appx 3-1/2"h**(3-1/2" to 7" high mail pile is reach-able through slot)Warranty: "Limited Lifetime Warranty...original owner...requires proof of purchase...does not cover lock replacement...finishes...or rust."Security Comparison:Pry Open . . . .

The mailbox was better than expected. After I put it up, I had a car back into it. It broke their back window, knocked it completely down, but there was no damage to the mailbox. We put it back up and it works great! Love it!
