Mailboxes you can’t miss
There are four apartment units in the property we’re renting but we all share one common mailbox. We differ in house numbers but we only have one mailbox. Pathetic, right? Sometimes the poor thing overflows when it’s time for the bills to arrive. And really, where’s privacy in sharing one mailbox with the neighbors? For properties like the one we’re renting, we need multi-unit mailboxes to ensure that the mail reaches the recipient and the recipient alone, as much as possible.
I don’t know if the mailbox sharing is the reason why there are times that our broadband billing statement doesn’t reach us. I never bothered asking the service provider about it because I can pay without the bill anyway, as long as I have the user account number. But it’s a mystery to me whether the lost mails have been sent, lost in transit, or fell on the wrong recipient. Anyway, I sure hope Mr. Postman didn’t put them in the wrong mailbox.
Mailboxes easily grab attention when they look as cool as these, right? No postman could possibly miss something as pretty as these mail boxes that I found online. Sadly, what we actually have at the gate is almost rusty, but better than nothing.
Still, I wish we could at least have wall mount mailboxes for each apartment unit so our mails will be distributed properly. I really think it’s high time.

I love cool mailboxes. My husband wants a Steelers one. In case you don’t know what that is, it is his favorite football team, ugh.

Having one shared mailbox can definitely get confusing. I wouldn’t trust getting a “congratulations you’ve won….” letter without it being taken by a neighbor.
I love the first picture. When I first came to your site, I thought it was houses until I read the title of your post.

Our mailboxes lock. The mail person puts all the mail in through a special door.It swings open and exposes all the mailboxes. Has been pretty good.
The mailboxes above are fantastic. We had one like the log cabin. We lived in a house and one Halloween it was gone.Such is life.

hmmm it’s odd to not have your own mailbox. I would not be comfortable with other people seeing my mail or stealing it. I do however love those fancy mailboxes….pretty!
