Mailbox Upgrade

[calntom]

I am upgrading ye ole mailbox. I was looking at this listing  -- 222846989381

This box is 18x14x12. 

My existing box is a stardard box, what they call a large rural box.

Before I buy this, I thought I would ask if anybody might know of one even bigger?

I will mount on my existing setup made out of 4x4's and will make a new platform for the new box.

This is a fun thread. Imagine something as mundane as a mailbox  being a subject  affording such an expansive variety of comments. See, members here do care.

Oh and by the way, we have one of those monument boxes down the street that have small letter compartments and some much larger package storage spaces.  All of which makes it more efficient for mail employees to deliver the mail and who still lose more than $27 Billion dollars a year....

Have you wondered where the money comes from to cover those yearly loses?

You missed a decimal point between the 2 and the 7, I know a minor mistake only off by  $24.3 Billion.
