Some things I just never would have considered buying online. Not that I have anything against purchasing online, quite the contrary – the more things I can get online the better. But certain items I just instinctively head to the mall or to our local Ace store to purchase. For instance, I told you about how we redecorated last month. Well, we replaced our front gate too and figured that we should get a new mailbox to match the new design. Now, I would have never thought of searching for mailboxes online but Liz suggested that we try our luck.

We found the site mailboxixchange.com which offers a huge selection of residential and commercial mailboxes for sale. Their prices are actually a lot lower than what local stores charge but the truth is that what drew us to the site was their great selection of styles. Their residential mailboxes selection is divided into a number of sub sections including wall mount mailboxes, column mailboxes and even mailbox posts (remember those?). It’s real fun browsing around the site and looking at all the different styles. It’s too bad we have to only choose one…
