All mailboxes take at least 6-26 weeks or longer to be built and depending on style sometimes longer. The Custom Houses, Airplanes, Vehichles, etc have been known to take up to a year or more to get them proportionate and right. I accept nothing less than the absolute best and that sometimes takes a little time. Each one is handmade as they are ordered. They are warranted against manufacturing defects. All sales are final and we do not offer and returns or refunds at this time for any reason including if you think it takes to much time to build. If you order and we can not design your mailbox then we will notify you and refund your money as it is the right thing to do. In addition it will be no cost to you what so ever for us trying to design your mailbox. These take time and effort along with a lot of trial and error while making our mailboxes proportionate and as realistic as possible. We are not responsible for any theft, inclement weather, misuse, vandalism or any other acts of nature that may damage your mailbox. We insure all mailboxes for shipping so any damages in shipping are taken care of if applicable and we are not responsible for lost mail if you do not provide us with the correct address. We pack very tight and with extra packing materials to avoid any shipping problems. If you have any questions or concerns please email us at dcmailboxes@aol.com or call us at 919-751-0797.

Nearly all 'handmade' mailboxes I see on the internet are stamped out. I have been asked many times if I could make one... that is truly 'hand-crafted.' Designing these are actually a bit trickier than one might think (especially the doors and hinges) – but I enjoy the challenge.
I design these for a pole, pillar, hanger or on-the-house set-ups and mounting.
