This wiki has been updated 38 times since it was first published in June of 2015. Don't limit the pride you take in your home to just the indoors. You can display your design preferences all the way out to the curb with one of these stylish and functional mailboxes. They are, obviously, ideal for receiving regular mail, but we've also included a few options designed to cope with today's Internet shopping, as well as some lockable models to help keep your deliveries safe.

Editor's Notes

July 28, 2019:

These days, you can never be too cautious when it comes to identity protection, and mail theft is just one of the many ways fraudsters get your personal information. Even if you aren't concerned about identity protection, which you really should be, we know that you'll want to safeguard those Amazon deliveries. Because of this, the lockable Mail Boss Package Master and Mail Boss Epoch claimed the top two spots on our list. The Architectural Mailboxes Oasis and Step2 StoreMore are also lockable options, though offer slightly less security than the previous two, either due to design elements or material strength.

If adding some additional charm to your home's exterior is a top priority, then we think you'll like the Addresses of Distinction Charleston, Dress the Yard Amish SMB-WN, Gibraltar Garrison, and 4Ever Homestead. Of these, the Addresses of Distinction Charleston and Dress the Yard Amish SMB-WN definitely make the largest statements, while the Gibraltar Garrison and 4Ever Homestead are slightly more subdued.

Those who often travel for weeks at a time should definitely consider the Step2 StoreMore, which has a removable trap door that turns the entire base into a storage area, so you won't have to worry about an overstuffed mailbox while you are out of town.

Special Honors

Gaines Keystone Series The Keystone Series is one of the more decorative options from Gaines manufacturing, and it comes in a variety of options that allow you to customize it to your needs and taste. For example, you can choose an eagle or fleur-de-lis design, and get it with or without a number plate. You can also add a lockable insert and newspaper holder if you desire. gainesmfg.com

Stevenson Locking Post Mount Copper A traditional design combined with brass accents give this offering a very elegant look. It is crafted from solid copper, which means it will naturally patina over time, and it is lockable to keep your mail secure. However, it is worth noting that the incoming slot can only accommodate small envelopes. signaturehardware.com
