New Mailboxes

Tim Moynihan sent the following:

That price and part number includes a stain and black number son one side.

The price includes a 35% discount ( same as what the builders get ) and the only extra would be a charge of $27.50 to remove the old mailbox ( that is well worth it )

We could put an ad or notice to all members that if they want to replace their old mailbox than Oct. is new mailbox month and the complete package would be under $200.00.

Tony: I think this is a great idea and something we should pursue. Tim and I will talk about this soon.

Dan Hackett submitted the following:

Our neighbor recently had a new mailbox installed. The company that did it is:

Cedar Craft Products

P.O. Box 9

Blacklick, OH 43004

PH: 614-759-1600

Fax: 614-759-1418

www.cedar-craft.com

They charge $150 for item and installation. No staining or address numbers included in this price.

Item number: 4SFM52K1B (and/or) CM05 & CP02

It was suggested that the neighboorhood could get a discounted rate on mail boxes if a number of us bought them at the same time.

Tim Moyinhan contacted the City of Dublin to enquire about whether they provided a bulk rate for purchasing mailboxes. He received the following response from the city on June 27th:

Dear Mr. Moynihan,

I received your email regarding mailboxes. The City of Dublin does not sell

mailboxes. In fact, when we need to replace mailboxes damaged by city staff

(as in snowplowing), we purchase those mailboxes from the same vendors

everyone else does. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Thanks,

Ron

Tim intends to contact the city again about where they purchase mail boxes themselves and will approach the vendor directly.
