Deluxe Wooden Mailbox and Mail Set

1. Posted: Aug 27 2008

   My son received this as a gift. Like to other reviews we had issues. The lock fell off and my children ended up using it as a dog house, a $40- dog house! I e-mailed the company and they were horrified that this happened and within 2 weeks my children had a new mailbox to play with (and they have been playing non-stop with it). The new mailbox is different. The doors are different. The lock is held on with screws instead of glue and the other door has 3 circles of velcro and a small hole to put one finger inside to open the door. There is no more magnet. They have made great changes in this product so I give the old version of the mailbox 2 stars, the company 5 stars and the new mailbox style 5 stars!

   .. it's toast. Both doors have broken off and can no longer even be fixed anymore. The mail is horribly dinged up, just from banging against each other in the mailbox. The stamps don't tend to stay on well after a couple months of intermitten use and sadly it's now sitting in our closet since the door splintered when coming off and can't be glued again.

   THis was a terrific idea. THe kids loved it. The door held my magnets would open when they dropped the mail in, this frustrated the kids. The piece that held the lock in place came off (the glue didn't hold). We repaired it with s screw. It was an easy fix but you shouldn't have to fix a new toy.
