Tools and Hardware Reviews of Flambeau 6533ME Mailbox Red Barn With Black Roof, 21-Inch by 12-Inch by 11-3/4-Inch
Customer Review: Flambeau forgot to test it!
Summary: 3 Stars
I hate companies that don't test a product. And they obviously didn't test it. How could anyone in good conscience put this out?
I've had my Flambeau T-1003 Barn Mailbox up for a couple weeks now. I noticed immediately that the latch was a problem, as stated in all the reviews. I was either gonna install a pneumatic blasting device to open the door for the mailman, or hire Ox from down the road to stand next to the mailbox when the mailman arrives everyday.
Instead, I adjusted mine by filing down the little do-hickey on the door that goes in to the wha-cha-ma-callit. It works pretty good now, but the mailman had to learn all over again how to close a mailbox. It takes a pretty postive thump to get the door to close all the way. And, if he doesn't thump it, it falls back down
Also, I don't believe the review that says it keeps the stuff instead nice and dry. When it rains, my mailbox gets a few drops of water in it. Another sign they obviously didn't test this thing out.
Another thing that's a little gay is the flag. When you raise it up, you can push it down a tad, and it locks up. But if someone doesn't know this, they will just push on it to put it back down, and possibly break it. When I put the flag up, I don't bother putting it into the locked position. It stays up just fine. Just another sign that they didn't bother testing this thing.
Overall, I like the mailbox. Don't get me wrong. The wet problem isn't that serious, and the latch thing isn't insurmountable. I think the cute factor and the basic construction outweighs everything else.
The mailbox is a litte expensive when you consider everything. I have some bird feeders (North States out of Minnesota, tests their stuff with a lot of well thought out design touches) made of the same plastic, same look and basic design, and the mailbox costs about twice as much as I paid for them. I expect the color on the mailbox to hold as well as it has on my North States birdfeeders. Time will tell.
