Has anyone applied on one of the plastic mailboxes? (Step2 Mailbox)

Yes. My husband put it on our mailbox and it went on pretty easy ... that was a few months ago and we havent had any chips or peels.

The sending unit has a sticky strip on it that you can peel paper off and then stick it directly to the mailbox door. However, what I did was attached Velcro to the unit and the other side of the Velcro to the mailbox door. That makes it easier to remove the unit if I need to. I don't know if it really matters, we'll see.

I sprayed it on the mailbox post and it did nothing. I did several layers, let each layer dry and different angles. Waste of money.

my mailbox is mounted to a wood fence. My son in law placed it on a piece of wood and nailed it to the fence. Hope this helps you.

I'm actually having the same experience. In 2 weeks I've gotten one egg laid in the new boxes. I've tried showing the boxes to the hens, putting eggs in them, and making the places they are laying less appealing for nesting. Not much luck yet. I am hoping time would help them get more comfortable with the plastic boxes, but based on your experience, maybe not. I'll be interested to see others' answers.

I'm surprised there aren't any directions. Not cool on the senders part. For most of these I've just had to rub them on using a flat edge, like a credit card. Once you rub the letters on, then you slowly peel the backing off. Takes practice and a little time.

I have the same answer as LLoyd. It really does not address envelopes (no pun intended) in the user guide. I have read on other sites where some have tried envelopes and said it works but it wrinkle the envelope quite badly.

It only takes 2 screws. It is the design where there is the wider opening of the hole where you put the box over the screw then slide the mailbox down to prevent it from falling off. Depending on your old mailbox, the screw holes might line up.

My application ontop of my mailbox held up the entire summer thru heavy rains, so getting it wet wouldn't be an issue if you have concerns about applying it around wet areas. Just don't spread it too thick or you'll find baby birds stuck in it. It can get pretty thick and gooey if too much is applied.

I have this mail box nailed to Hardy Board siding on my home for 4 years now. It is partially covered by an eave. To date I have never had any water enter the mailbox, my mail has always been dry even after several torrential rain and snow storms.

I have tried to get it to do 1 envelope and I was unsuccessful. Haven't tried multiple envelopes.

My numbers were included, but not attached to mailbox. I had to glue them in place (with my own glue). Customer service was surprised that they weren't attached, so I may have just been unlucky.

No, I have a letter box by my front door that was slightly crooked so I popped the letter box off to straight it out and it removed the paid and a chunk from the drywall. This is the stuff they use to attach spoilers and body trim panels on cars it's so tough.

Yes. The bottom is flat, with pre-drilled rows of holes. I lagged a PT board to the existing wooden post and drilled pilot holes in it using the plastic tray liner (included), for a template. You then lag the mailbox to the PT board using a socket and ratchet handle.

Lauren, the post COVER comes with the mail box. It is made of the same heavy duty plastic as the mail box and is very sturdy. We cut off the old metal mailbox from our wooden post and slipped this plastic cover over it and then attached it to the wooden post with the included bolts. Worked like a charm and was easy too! If you don't have a wooden post already in the ground, you'll need to purchase one. They are not that expensive but you'll need to dig a hole and fill it with cement and make sure the post doesn't lean while the cement dries. THEN put the plastic cover over it and bolt it in place. It looks nice and is very durable. Lauren, the post COVER comes with the mail box. It is made of the same heavy duty plastic as the mail box and is very sturdy.

I had difficulty with this install.I bought 2-gave one away and he installed it with screw driver and drill- mine is still in the drawer. It's not as easy as it looks because the mailboxes vary in type of opening latch and materials. Good Luck pjh

The mailbox I purchased was metal and extremely good quality. I do not understand why there would be any problem with it staying closed. Mine is definately a very well made mailbox..... no plastic anywhere.
