Summary
The customer needed a parcel/letterbox set into concrete and raised for easier access at their home in Burnside, Christchurch. They asked for the old letterbox to be removed while keeping the hanging number sign, and for concrete to be brought and laid to create a higher, more accessible mounting pad. Timing was flexible but preferred within the next few weeks, and most offers noted materials would be provided except the mailbox itself. Five offers came in and the job was accepted for $190. The agreed plan was followed: the old box was carefully removed, the number sign preserved, a boxed-up raised concrete pad was poured and finished, and the new parcel/letterbox was securely fastened once the concrete had set. The customer left a five-star review praising the excellent work, fast response and creative, efficient approach.

We have a parcel/letterbox that we would like to be installed into concrete. It would be handy to raise the box a bit higher for easier access. You’ll need to bring and lay down the concrete. If you could remove the old letterbox but keep the hanging number sign, that would be really helpful. We have attached a picture of the new letterbox, the old one, and what we would like done. Ideally, we’d to get this done within the next few weeks. If you have experience and are available, please get in touch with a quote.
