As part of our vote the end of April 2016 the Common Mailbox was relaxed to include options for other boxes.

Attached are images of the approved post and mailbox options.  We have also given some locations of where to purchase them.

The Standard Mailbox looks like this:

This will continue to be an option for the residents and has been the mailbox requested originally.

2021 Update:  If replacing the box, the cedar wrap on the mailboxes is no longer “Postmaster Approved”, so that box is not recommended moving forward

If you need a full replacement box and post or are looking for repair work, we have a couple of options for you to contact.

• US Post Company: Calvin Dunn – 616-915-0300
• Paul Karsten – 616-550-2429 or m.karsten@gmail.com

or The Solar Group Cedar Wrapped Mailbox can be purchased for $37 at ACE hardware (Cc-1r).  The Olympic stain color is Chestnut Brown.

Alternative Boxes can be placed on the above style post.

Here are a few options of boxes that residents can use.

• Bronze T1 Item 239356 $33 from Gemmen’s
• Solar Group Arlington Deluxe in Bronze $55 from ACE
• Bellevue 10″X11″ Oil Rubbed Bronze $60 from Lowe’s

Any deviation from the normal Dark Brown post and box must have ACC approval archreview@georgetownshores.org

Some residents have wanted to build their own post out of a composite material and have asked for plans for the post.  Plans can be found here: Mail Box Post Plans
