Product suffers from cheap latch and flag
These mailboxes are widely distributed available at lumber yards and
hardware stores as well as on line.
They are conventional design of galvanized steel and are not hot dipped. They will rust quickly as soon as a scratch appears in the thin zinc coating. The paint bonds poorly to the zinc coating and quickly (one year) comes off in large flakes.
The Plastic latch and flag hinge quickly UV degrade become cracked and brittle as they lose their plasticizers. Parts are not readily available and are relatively expensive.
In short this is a once durable product that is now so cheapened as to be unsatisfactory. unfortunately there are few alternatives on the market at reasonable prices.
Update (2/9/2012): I also found some auctions for this item here.

T3 Mailbox
The mailbox T3 is everything we wanted. It is large enough to hold small packages, as well as regular mail. This works very well for our rural areas. It was easy to assemble the mailbox and the instructions were clear. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five, is that the red flag seems a bit small and fragile. I am afraid he will not hold more than several years of use.

Great service & product
Seller’s communication was excellent and notified me when item was mailed. Mailbox arrived in great time.
I mail quite a bit of small packages and needed a large mailbox to save trips to the post office. The size of this mailbox was perfect and easy to install on the post.
The mail lady said she was happy to see the larger size and more people on her route should have one like it.
