Modbox new midcentury modern wall-mount mailbox — on Kickstarter now

pam kueber - October 19, 2015, Updated: October 18, 2015

midcentury-modern-mailboxFirst there was the Modbox post-mounted mailbox. Now: Company owner and entrepreneur Greg Kelly is back on Kickstarter with a second Modbox design — a wall-mount mailbox. It’s a really ingenious design that allows you to mix and match colors — and wait until you see the additional letter tray.

Some details from Kickstarter page:

Crafted in America using 20 gauge cold rolled galvanized steel that is 75% thicker than most mailboxes today.

We’ll powder coat the mailbox inside and out, baking at 400 degrees. This method is more environmentally friendly than using baked enamel.

Anodized aluminum will be used for the handle (8 gauge). Looks great with the color options!

The modbox measures 15″ long x 6″ high x 4.5″ deep.

    I agree with another poster, please make a LOCKED version. These are sad times we are living in and after several stolen packages/letters, this has become a necessary addition for us. Thanks!

    I would love a recessed wall box. I have existing masonry brick walls at the main entrance with an adjacent small window that I am going to close in and I would love to recess a letter box in its place. Do you the ability to make a trim that would allow this box to be recessed?

    These are beautiful but looks like they won’t hold 9 x 12 envelopes without bending??
