 Flambeau forgot to test it! May 31, 2008
John T. Kuhrke (Wayne County, Kentucky)
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? br / br / 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. br / br / 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 br / br / 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. br / br / 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. br / br / 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. br / br / 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.
 Best Product and Price Around! April 20, 2008

Great mailbox that will hold up to anything (except a baseball bat used by neighborhood delinquents). Replaces the same mailbox that I have used for 10+ years. It also is an easy landmark for guests that are looking for our house. The Red Barn style is quite distinctive.

The customer service and shipping from this company were excellent! br / br /I guess I didn't believe the other reviews and thought I would get one of the "good" ones. I was so disappointed because you need a crobar and leather gloves to get the door open. The knob has very sharp points and the door is almost impossible to open. I was going to try to fix it but I don't think the door fits properly and the latch isn't fixable. I'm sorry I had to return it because I don't think the mailman could get it open.
Fast, excellent service!! January 12, 2008

We are horse people and love the country look. This mailbox holds everything including br /newspapers and magazines. It keeps it all nice and dry in the rain. We purchased this one as a backup to the one that we have already had in service for over 8 years. Who knows how long the current one will last. It has not faded or cracked in the sun. The mailbox we ordered arrived in perfect condition and even faster than predicted. I can br /heartily recommend this product. FLAMBEAU PRODUCTS T1003 RED BARN MAILBOX
