Address AmericaUSA Handcrafted Custom Made Double Sided Park Place Super Reflective Mailbox Address Sign - Large 4" Easy to Read Numbers - ML

I bought this to replace a $14 unit that used stick-them-yourself numbers. The numbers on that one began to peel and fade after three years. When I got this sign, I was disappointed to find that it uses very similar stick-on numbers, though I will admit that they did a fine job in getting them centered and aligned. But I have no doubt that they will also peel after a few years.So, why the three stars? First, it comes with no screws, screw caps, or hardware of any type. Fortunately, I was able to re-use the black screw caps from the first sign and I had some stainless screws left over for installation. Second, the hole placement is absurd. Of the three pre-drilled holes used for mounting, NONE of them can be accessed directly with a cordless drill/screwdriver. In fact, at least two of the holes COULD have been located to be accessible, but they weren't. Third, the seam line from the molding process must be sanded flat or the sign wobbles. It's a significant ridge right down the flat portion that gets snugged up against the mounting surface. I had to scrape it with a knife and then sand it flat. This probably wouldn't have mattered that much...if you could get to all three screw holes for mounting.Summary: Looks nice, but I doubt it will last for more than three years. The design gave no thought to actually mounting it securely and in an attractive manner (i.e., no screw caps).

When reading the description of this item (and others by this company) you need an attorney's skill at reading between the lines to realize that this isn't made of premium metal with black powder finish. Here are some of the misleading selections from the item description:- "Made with long-lasting, engineer-grade materials: weather resistant, anti-rust, & no painting required"- "We start by cutting a steel tube to the length you choose then painting it black (a powder-coated process)"- "Our signs never need painting and will never rust."Upon unboxing the sign you realize that the reason the sign never rusts isn't some "engineer-grade" black powder treatment, but because the sign itself is actually made of plastic. Also the "radical and innovative" reflective address solution that presumably makes this sign "hand-crafted" simply consists of reflective number stickers that looks like those you can purchase at any hardware store.To be fair to Address America, the sign's plastic looks relatively sturdy and the reflective stickers customized with my house number were neatly applied. But fundamentally, I think a sign in the style of wrought iron but made of plastic would look kitschy anywhere except a trailer park. Despite that, I wouldn't be reviewing this product nearly as harshly if the sellers had simply communicated clearly what the product is made of in the item name. I'll even offer the company some free advice. If you call it "Premium ABS" instead of "Plastic" you can still make your product sound a lot more fancy and expensive than it's really worth. That is what you're going for, right?EDIT: I received an email from the CEO of Address America in response to my concerns about the sign. Here are some of the relevant portions from his comments: "The sign you received is not made of basic plastic. It is made of high-impact polypropylene, a thermoplastic polymer made for precise applications and high durability in extreme environments. [...] Regarding your address numbers, we use engineer grade material that is custom cut. This is a labor-intensive process, as a human must manually do most of the work by hand."I still stand by my reviews overall conclusion that the item's description as it currently stands is misleadingly vague. I wish Address America had communicated the advantages of their material choices that they put in their email to me clearly in the item description. Then I would have known exactly what I was purchasing instead of being surprised when I received a sign that was very different from what I thought I had purchased.

I was trying to find something like this but metal, good luck, I had zero success and since this was the only option of what I could find I ordered it.I was expecting some cheap hollow blow molded plastic light weight thing and for the high price charged I probably wasn’t going to be happy with it. I must admit, when I opened the box I was relieved to find its a solid injection molded plastic, and has a little weight to it. Its plastic, but it is a quality plastic, time will tell how it holds up to living in the weather though I expect it’ll probably hold up better than other materials and I’ll never have to worry about painting or rust.Yes the numbers are just stick on vinyl, but they’re perfectly spaced and laid out, a much better job than I would have been able to do myself and I’m a bit of a perfectionist. If you look closely at government posted signs they’re usually just stick on vinyl as well. I’m not sure how else people were expecting this to be done when they knocked it in their reviews.I’m happy with it, it looks a lot nicer than the crooked hardware store stick on numbers it replaced (that after just 2 weeks I was having to press back down every time I checked the mail). It does stick out past my mailbox towards the road, but that’s no fault of the product, its because I already had my post cemented into the ground and mailbox centered on the post before ordering this, it would match up well if I had put my box more forward on the post when I originally installed it.I have 2 drives onto my property about 1/4 mile apart. The mailbox sits at one, the house sits back another 1/4 mile hidden in the woods so I’ll certainly be ordering the matching yard address sign they sell to go at my other drive. When my mailbox and post eventually need replaced I’ll redesign a different idea utilizing the sign, or at least just set the new post a little further back and the new box a little more forward.

Très satisfaite du produit! Le panneau est solide, les chiffres sont assez gros, bien visibles et réfléchissent la lumière.Je m’attendais à recevoir des numéros à coller sur le panneau, car on ne nous demandait pas l’adresse lors de la commande. Le fournisseur nous a contacté pour connaître l’adresse et le panneau est arrivé prêt à être installé et ce, en 7 jours.

A-OK

For this price they should have included screws. Delivery was very quick. Address numbers came as I had requested them by email to supplier's service center.
