The front of all the other boxes are even with each other and this one sticks out like a sore thumb.

My block is mostly 2nd homeowners so there really isn't anybody around to complain. Hell, I don't even know any of my neighbors(which is fine by me). I'm not losing sleep over this. It's really not *that* big of a deal, it's just the principle of it. I'm going with them installing it to be easier for them rather than being clueless just based upon the quality of the majority of these cidiot 2nd homeowners.

Maybe the post office will acknowledge it being an issue and notify them it needs to be moved back.
Actually I'm surprised the mail carrier hasn't already done something about it since it seems it would interfere with their job. I've know mail carriers to be pretty particular and vocal about mail box placement and condition.

IDK. Some of the newcomers can be pretty clueless. On my road we have had a neighbor 1. pull up property stakes 2. put round up the grass along the creek 3. manipulate the riparian zone (not on his property) with his tractor 4. try to fence in the right of way that he sprays round up on. Another wanted to fill in the drainage ditch along the road. And then there is Ed's mailbox house sticking out in the road.

I would put a note in the offending mail box, explain nicely the problem it creates.
