Customer Rating: Summary: Secure and attractive 2008-05-21 Comment: This mailbox allows my financial firm to securely receive priority mailers filled with highly sensitive information. Although it is intended to stand on a post, we mounted it on a wall with a decorative wood brace underneath it.
The flag is a bit stiff to raise and lower, which means our mailman often doesn't really push it down, but I guess I prefer that to one that won't stay up!
My only disappointment was that after I bought it online, I saw it for less money (and no shipping!) at Home Depot.

Customer Rating: Summary: Security Plus!! 2007-10-19 Comment: I wanted an attractive yet secure locking mailbox and decided on the bronze Oasis Jr with the metal post. It was easy to cement and install and I had black reflective tape numbers made so it really looks modern and architectual standing out on the road in my rural setting. I was gone for 5 days in September and there was ample room for more mail. What a great purchase this was!

Customer Rating: Summary: Oasis Jr. Mailbox 2007-03-17 Comment: This is a sturdy mailbox with a crisp silhouette. It stands head and shoulders above my old standard mailbox that the post-person kept complaining about. However, my complaint is that this box does not accommodate the weekly grocery store flyers and magazines that are a little too big to fall down to the floor of the box. Instead they get wedged in a diagonal position and block the rest of the mail from accumulating neatly; making the whole pile of mail difficult to wrest from the bowels of the box. It seems to me that pieces as standard and ubiquitous as flyers and magazines should be taken into account when designing a mailbox that is expressly constructed to accommodate larger pieces of mail.

Customer Rating: Summary: Great except for the nuts & bolts 2007-03-05 Comment: Overall we are very staisfied with the mailbox.
The one complaint is the included nuts & bolts. For a product that is selling a "Secure" mailbox, I was disappointed to find it was sold with standard hex bolts. The problem with this is the box can be easily removed from the post with a simple wrench. The solution, get one way bolts or rounded top to make it tougher for a potential thief...

Customer Rating: Summary: Great mailbox 2007-02-06 Comment: This is an excellent mailbox for rural delivery - my postmistress has complemented us several times.
However, the lock is a little 'off' and you have to jiggle the key in it a few times to get it to open.
That is probably why it was returned the first time. When we received it and took it out of the box it had someone else's address on it.
Too much trouble to return, we scraped off the numbers and will continue to jiggle the key.
This is why it only received 3 stars - because we received a previously used model.
