Can't argue against that decision. If there are no laws or regulations that have to be followed in building a mailbox, and your previous mailboxes have been torn down due to vandalism, build it vandalism-proof.
I noted they didn't say the mailbox was too close to the road. There are some along our little two-lane blacktop that I sometimes worry about tearing a side mirror off, they're that close.

Several years ago we got a new mail carrier. She made everyone raise their mailboxes to the prescribed height. Seems like it was 42”. I was fortunate, mine was already at the required height, but it did not have my address number on it. One the same post there is the house number, put there by the fire department. This was not good enough. Does not seemed to do any good, about twice a week I end up delivering someone’s mail to them that was placed in my box.

The good news is, the pay and benefits aren't bad. Keep track of your hours and send them a bill.  |

I don't know if it was the postal service or the 911 people, but about a year after we'd moved here they changed our address. Problem is, everyone on the South side of the road is an odd number, but since our house is on the North side of our driveway, and our driveway many times gets confused with the road, our address is an even number.
In the instance that we might need an ambulance I put a post with our house number at the top of the driveway, as they'd be looking on the wrong side of the road for us.

That’s a wise move, your house number would be really confusing. I have very large address numbers on my mailboxes plus a bright yellow reflective sign on our gate with large house numbers…very easy to see at night. Because I have 2 houses, I have house numbers well marked on each. Our fire chief has thanked me, he said in cases like mine, even a couple minutes delay in finding the right house could be a life or death situation. |

I wonder if it would help to make a phone call or visit to the post office. Had that happen here where our renters were having to deliver various neighbors’ mail on a weekly basis. They let the mail carrier know, didn’t help. Finally called or went in to the post office to complain, no more problem after that. |
