I just order this mailbox, and the rear access door where you retrieve your mail is slightly askew (crooked) is that normal?

I looked at mine and it is not crooked at all. I would think that is not normal at all.

When I received the one I ordered it was not askew. Prior to installing it, I would suggest setting it on a surface where the main body is level and locking the rear access panel. Is there any gaps? If so, I would want to do an exchange. It could leak in rainy weather.

Mine was not askew. I don't believe that to be "normal". The rear door, unlike the rest of the mailbox, is very lightweight and could get off center very easily. If it will not operate properly, and not easily fixed, I would return it.

Mine is not bent at all. It lies flat and tight. It does sound like the one you received may be damaged. I hope this info is helpful. Good luck.

i have an issue with the middle door on mine, not with overlapping but i have tried and tried to get it to hang straight , even removed and reinstalled but it hangs crooked.

The back is open, but blends well with the plastic--I think the whole thing looks great--you can also open the mail from the back-- away from traffic, if that's an issue.

Yes it is normal. You have nothing to worry about. The hinges are to lose for it to stay up at 90 degrees.

Put it all the way up on your door. I guest you need to adjust it to make it fix. Take me a few times to get it right.&#128522;

Sorry, I'm a little behind on mail. Yes it is finished on all sides, so looks good from the back too!

Mine wasn't upside down but it was crooked inside the box. It still worked though.

didn't have that problem. what I would do is contact who you got it from and ask for an exchange or refund.it might be just a default in that one. it did settle when the box spring and matters was added.

No issues with mine. It is also a challenge to pull mail out from the delivery slot.

The only issue we had with shipping, was one of the doors was inverted when it arrived - causing a tiny gap in the seal when we had to pull the door back through. Other than the tiny gap, we did not have any other issues.

You have to have a vertical post and a horizontal thing on which to screw the box down to. But...I do not recommend this mailbox at all if you are getting it to prevent mail theft. It's easy for someone with a relatively slim arm to reach in and grab mail.

The holder is probably upside down, I had that happen to me when I first installed

Yes Gordon....there is a storage door in the back and also through doors, both sides to get mail. I really like it looks very good and blends with our brick. The floor of the mail box comes out and all the mail can go into a huge area......nice if you go on vacation, all drops to the bottom. It is very well made and I think we will be very happy.

I couldn't answer you question regarding poor construction as I haven't had those issues. However, I do live in South Florida and have NO issues with warpage of any kind with the door or frame. I did have an issue with a hydraulic cylinder that had broken away from its mount during shipping and was impossible for me to reinstall due to pressures within the cylinder not allowing for compression. This issue was resolved by the company sending s new pre-compressed cylinder no charge. Since then the access door has been 100% perfect. I love it.

No, it sounds like they mailed you the wrong style. Your aperture should be straight up and down with everything squared up. If it doesn't look just like the pic send it back~
