I have seen other plastic type mailboxes be hit by a car (or with a baseball bat...) with no damage. How does this hold up to that type of abuse? Thx!

I LOVE these mail boxes. I have two side by side in front of a duplex that I own. They are pretty tough but do not think they would hold up against a car. A baseball bat maybe.

This is a very solid mailbox. The main post is supported internally by a wooden 4x4. I've never hit it with a baseball bat but ... I think it would hold up well.

This mailbox is much more durable than my previous metal one. We too have mailbox bashers...also snowplows that occasionally go off course. I will know more after this winter.

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.

Plastic construction (hard material and is water resistant). Best mailbox I ever owned.

I've had one in my front yard knocked off - probably by a dog from the neighborhood but none are missing. So far no other problems.

Mine was delivered by a special-handling freight carrier and the box was still completely beat up. It's too heavy/dense to go regular ground, so it gets handed off to a local company in your area. Unless you can contact them about picking it up, don't plan on the box being pretty when it gets there. Nothing was damaged inside, but the box was in terrible shape.

no damage to the car. would probably destroy the cone. I use these in my classroom that has a construction theme.

Yes, but it will be twisted, but don't think you can't use it. Out here in the country a lot of people just leave their mailboxes disfigured after somebody tries to destroy them, I think because the owners just get tired of replacing them. The postal service still puts mail in them, but the mail gets wet when it rains. Hope this helps.

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.

Mine held up quite well. I still have yet to use it and it's still in perfect shape. No tears or rips.

My unit fell off the back of a Ford Expedition onto pavement. It landed on the head. It just dinged the head with a little scratch and the tank was just fine. I use every day since and it works great. I don't think it's fragile or it would have been "toast" when it fell earlier.

We bought this for a gift in dec. 2012. At that time it was boxed in a carton.?once we opened it the entire unit was bound with heavy duty plastic strips. I don't think the item would get damaged, but I would try calling the company since this was my experience a year ago. Good luck!

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.

Hi! I'm sure that size will fit on this post. My mailbox is 20" x 12" x 7 1/4 and it fits fine. Of course the neighbor hit the new post and mailbox..the post cover had no damage but the 4x4 needs to be replaced! He couldn't have hit the 25 year old box right??? More damage to his car than my mailbox and post!!!

It appears to be a very tough plastic. Mine has lived through one cold winter here in Md. without any damage or distortion.

The short answer would be most likely...... but in a driveway with cars going over it and weather issues it would wear off I would think or be damaged. I have used it outdoors and it is still holding strong on my rain gutter for the past year. Send an email to the company and ask them.

It's a very sturdy crate. I rolled my car off a 30 foot embankment and the crate was not damaged at all until they cut it with a saw while trying to cut me out of the car. I immediately bought another one. Thankfully, my "baby" wasn't with me at the time, but I have no doubt she would have survived if she had been.
