All over my neighborhood, my neighbors are sprucing up their yards now that it’s Spring. They are planting flowers, resurfacing their sidewalks and driveways, spreading woodchips around their bushes and trees, but you know what they are missing? Exchanging their battered, rusty mailboxes for new ones! Mailboxixchange is an online marketplace for all kinds of mail boxes, and they want to let MomReviews readers know more about their products.
In my neighborhood, which was built in the 50s, the older houses each have a wall-mounted mailbox next to the front door. While those are generally more protected from the elements, the lid hinges get rusty, and the lids themselves can get bent out of shape from having heavy packages leaned up against them (ahem, MomReviews’ mail carrier, lol). Mailboxixchange has a bunch of great ones, some even have hooks underneath to hold a rolled-up newspaper.
The site also has dozens of styles of traditional driveway mailboxes, with personalization plaques included. If it’s been a while since you bought a new mail box and yours is looking worse for the wear, check out the options available at Mailboxixchange!

This is a great idea! When we lived in town, we had a clear glass mailbox. I wish we had taken that with us when we sold the house. I guess they are valuable now.
ooh, I’ve never seen a clear glass mailbox! Our first house was built in 1929, and we didn’t even have a mailbox. We had a slot cut into the wall next to the front door with a hinged door, the mailman pushed the mail through it and it dropped into the front hall closet!
