Mailboxes get damaged for all sorts of reasons. Cars run into them, the freeze-thaw cycle affects the soil, causing your mailbox to lean, and the weather rots wood, rusts metal, and much more.
Many people come up with different ways to install mailboxes. They use metal posts, bricks, cement bases, Home Depot buckets, and more.
In my opinion, a wood post without cement is the best way to install a mailbox. A mailbox post with a cement base won’t stand up against a car, and then removing and disposing of all that cement becomes a larger project. Digging a hole 24 inches deep and then compacting the soil as you fill it will give you a sturdy mailbox that’s easy to replace when a snowplow eventually hits it.

The national average cost to replace a mailbox $100 to $200 for labor. The price varies based on if an existing mailbox has to be removed, if it’s a metal or wood post, and whether the post was set in cement or not.
A mailbox takes between half an hour to two hours to replace depending on site conditions. Removing a mailbox set in cement takes considerabily more time to dig out than one set in dirt. Soil conditions also affect how long it’ll take to dig a new post hole.
Replacing a mailbox is a project home owners can take on themselves. The most challenging part is digging a hole that’s deep enough to support the mailbox and any normal wear it may take on.
The one problem I see from most home owner installations is they don’t dig a hole deep enough, fail to compact the soil when filling it in, or they resort to metal stakes that don’t keep the mailbox standing upright after a few months.
