Why not just put an individual mailbox next to the street in front of your house?
He lives in a pretty rural area off a long dirt road that non-4x4s have gotten stuck so it may not be conducive for a mail truck to go down it.

Pretty sure he lives on an unpaved rural road that the postal carrier does not drive down. All the homes on the road have their mail boxes out by the highway.Why not just put an individual mailbox next to the street in front of your house?
That's how my mail service is and that is almost exactly what I told them, lol.Neither rain nor snow, etc etc but we're drawing the line at getting out of the car.
OP said it was a 45 minute drive. OuchPO Box at post office is your best bet.
I guess you haven't been out west? Street? LoL! I'm the Last house on a dirt road. Here the mailman doesn't leave the street.Why not just put an individual mailbox next to the street in front of your house?
They drive the square post office truck thingIs this serviced by the post office or by rural mail carriers in their own vehicles? Many of those people use 4x4 Jeeps with right hand drive.
I'm sure that wooden box is not approved. I hate it as the door always falls open and is in my way.Whatever may happen to the top rail is whatever happens to the top rail since the neighbors seem to have the attitude that it's everyone for themselves. You are there to move your box back to its proper location. Is that thing above yours with the + on the front even USPS approved?
Since it all needs to be replaced anyway it may be better to not have any sort of stacked common structure and just say that each address has a certain footage to place their box. There seems to be a lot of road to work with.
A neighbor built it about 40 years agoHere, a guy named "Trent" posted he was planning to destroy his landlord's washing machine in order to force purchase of a new one.
Don't be Trent...and destroy the mailboxes completely to force action. They will get YOU.
Aren't mailboxes sacred cows by any measure? I wouldn't be surprised if the P.O. had regs to condemn that array of mailboxes.
Who constructed the array in the first place?
Mine is cantilevered out on a 1.5" pipe about 4 foot. It's a 6 ft pipe total. I can adjust it out when the snow piles up.Mail boxes, signs, etc. should break away in a crash. Building something very solid right next to the road can be a liability.
Roughly 45 minutes 1 way with traffic and what not in an area I never had a reason to go to.Stuff like this is so aggravating. I have no ideas on a remedy. How far is the main post office? I'm sure they're going to hold the mail for you. Only caveat is you have to go get it.
