The Vacationer : Large Capacity Indestructible 1/4 Inch Steel Mailbox

We’ve just received and installed our new Fort Knox (Vacationer) mailbox and are very happy with our purchase. The mailbox is extremely sturdy, looks attractive, and has already been helpful, as we didn’t have to stop our mail while away from home for an extended period.

My brother wanted this so he could fit in with his neighbors who also have this same mailbox. He loves it and so do I. Thank you so much!

Excellent quality of construction and excellent client service!

Love these mailboxes. This is our third one. Also love the new color options.

The vacationer is awesome. I had a Masonry guy build a brick mailbox around it. Came out great.

Fantastic! Sturdy and really easy to install.

Hello Fort Knox Mailbox,
I just wanted to send Everyone a quick thank you note. You guys are a class act. The mailbox arrived pact very well this week & i installed it this weekend. The Vacationer Mailbox is the real deal, just as described on your website. Built with sound solid construction. Built to last. It reminds of how product purchased use to be made. I couldn’t be more pleased. Everything included with with details & explanations thoroughly described that make for a quick installation with no errors. The chocolate coin were a nice touch as well.
Thank you & have a happy thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Mark

I just wanted to thank you for making such a wonderful mailbox! We were having problems with mail theft in our office park. We purchased one of the common locking mailboxes. It was taken out with a crowbar the first night. Since installing the Fort Knox Mailbox our mail is safely waiting for us on Monday mornings. Thank you!

I recently purchased a new mailbox installed it started receiving mail and it is perfect. I enjoy getting the mail everyday just so I can look at it and give a couple man grunts....
I LOVE IT! Between the quality of the mailbox and the quality of the post a Mack Truck would be lucky to knock it down... Thanks a bunch for the prompt and excellent
service.... I recommend Fort Knox Mailboxes to everyone.

Best Regards,

Just wanted to say thank you for your GREAT SERVICE!!!
I have received my order of the additional keys for my mailbox, have tried them both and have made sure to right down the number and place one of the keys in a secure place where I KNOW IT WILL BE.
Again, I love the mailbox...and greatly appreciate the fact that your company can backup your products with such excellence.
Continued success, have a great day,

While serving on a Grand Jury I learned that rural mailbox theft was a serious problem. I purchased a Fort Knox mailbox. I am so pleased with the product that I wash & wax the mailbox on a regular basis. Yes, a Fort Knox mailbox is more expensive than the competition. You get what you pay for and you will never, ever be sorry.

We got the mailbox yesterday. What a beautiful job! Quality! We so appreciate it. You folks exceeded our expectations. We will be installing it soon.

Just installed my new mailbox and we can now take trips without having our mail held. With cutbacks taking place with the USPS, our local post office was closed resulting in a new assignment to a post office more than 15 miles away. Trips to and from the new post office to hold and pickup mail is now a thing of the past. Also, on several occasions mail never reached us which could point to someone helping themselves to our mail. My wife and I now feel secure about our mail arriving as expected. We did however have to educate our mailman about the out-going mail compartment. Our first delivery was placed in that compartment. Stranger things have happened.

Of course, the mailbox construction is a thing to behold. We installed a breakaway post since we expect to have the box hit from time to time since our property is situated where the road is on a downward slope along with a turn to the left. With rain or ice/snow, the road can be difficult to navigate and every year or so our mailbox is hit head on. I installed an extra-large concrete slab (24”x30”) so new anchor bolts can be installed if the box is knocked over. The breakaway post will ensure relatively minor damage to the hapless car or truck sliding off course. The mailbox will I’m sure survive undamaged.

We appreciate the good work you have done to create the Vacationer.

Dear Fort Knox Staff:
We are an owner of one of your mailboxes and are very, very pleased with it. I thought you might like to know this: In today's Vancouver, WA, newspaper, "The Columbian", there is an article that the Hough neighborhood, which is the core residential neighborhood in downtown Vancouver, is being told by the U.S. Postal service that they will no longer bring the mail to their mailboxes on the house and that they will need to install "curb" mailboxes. Thought you might like to know this as they are going to need a lot of mailboxes. And, this is a neighborhood that should really use locking mailboxes.
Hope your business is continuing to grow. You have a great product.

Sincerely,

Received my mailbox/post and it looks TERRIFIC! Can't wait to get it up. The craftsmanship is superb!!! I can't believe with having the breakaway post custom made that it was delivered to my door over 1000 miles away in 7 business days - that's what I call service! And the packing job - it was packed better than I would have packed my grandmother's heirloom china to ship cross country!!! I'll send you a pic when I get it installed. THANKS AGAIN, it was a pleasure doing business with you. I couldn't be more satisfied!

I thought you might enjoy this. Our large 9 slot CPU box was stolen some time ago and I tried to sell our business neighbors on the FK boxes. Only one joined me. Some went to PO boxes and others installed similar looking but inferior boxes in photo. You can see that two have been popped open and the key latches are broken. The post on my FK box is encased in a 10" PVC pipe full of concrete!
Thank you!

Just wanted you to know I am well pleased with my custom Fort Knox mailbox. It is now anchored in 200 lbs of concrete. You all got the color exactly right, and I really appreciate the extra trouble. My wife loves it, and as an engineer, I admire it every day as a supremely well designed piece of equipment.

Thanks again,

I recently ordered, received and installed a special box from you. It was the Vacationer extended to 36". It arrived in great shape, packed so securely that you could hardly damage the contents. I love the box and wanted to let you know that it really looks good with the gang of misc boxes we have at our rural delivery point.

It went together very well, but after I got it all installed I thought that something must be wrong. Why would you build a box so indestructable and tamper proof and have the four bolts sticking out the bottom with the nuts exposed. All you would have to do is quickly remove the nuts and take the box completely off site (if you were able to lift and move it). DUH! When all else fails, read the instructions. It says to install the bolts from the bottom of the post plate up into the box. After getting it all installed I had to redo the nuts and bolts. I'm one of those picture people who look at the picture and go from there. I didn't actually read all the instructions until after the installation was complete. Other than that it's a great box and will hold a lot of mail.

Thanks,

Tom B

To Whom,
We purchased a mailbox from your company for a client of ours. He was a dentist and had a unique idea to make the mailbox a tooth. Well i said to the sales rep that i would sent pics so that you may put it up on your website as a sales tool..
Thanks for your all help..
Thanks

We love our Fort Knox Mailbox! The owners are great to work with. We appreciate that our mail is secure, even when we can’t pick it up for days. Great purchase, would definitely recommend.

I love my Fort Knox mailbox! It is such a comfort to know when I am away, my mail can safely accommodate and no one can tell. Locked and safe! So much peace of mind! Trust me, this is a great product!

My old mailbox was never in secured place near the street -side (curb) and was inviting to walkers, dog walkers, etc. Now that I have this massive Fort mailbox, I feel so much better seeing all the walkers passing by...knowing full well, this mailbox cannot be tampered with!!

Amazing and sturdy quality. Must have a couple of strong people to lift it up for the installation. Stunning quality

I just wanted to let you and the future customers know what an amazing product you have. I was referred to your product many years ago by a friend in the NW. I Just bought a new home in SW Florida and this was the first addition to the home. Safety, security, functionality and course good looks at the top of my list. Fort Knox hits all the above. WOW, Thanks Guy and Gals for the quality products that you produce. I would 100% recommend this mailbox to everyone.

Got my mailbox today.
Everything looks great.
We will install it Sunday.
I am very happy with the construction as well as the workmanship.
So far everyone that has seen it - has the wow! response in terms of the workmanship and weight.
I just hope it does not get tested - smile.
In closing please tell your staff in the shop - job well done even the packing.
Russ

Wanted to say thanks, we received the mailbox and it is literally built like a tank lol we love it!
