What I sent them
Hello

This past thursday morning, the plow truck hit my mailbox. The mailbox itself is dented at the door, some of outer wood trim is dented from impact with the plow, one piece of trim was knocked off and the 2 x 4 bracing that supports the mailbox itself was knocked loose and cracked.

I nailed a piece of wood to the post to keep it somewhat secure and renailed bracing.

My address is Xxxxxxxx. Turning off of Xxxx onto Xxx, I'm the 9th house on the right ( counting the one on the corner ) if you want to look at it.

Not "jumping up and down", but who is responsible for properly fixing this?

Thanks for your time
Jeff

Here's the reply

Jeff,

Xxx Township will reimburse you for any parts that must be repaired or replaced. You can send receipt copies to the Administration Office along with your address and the Township will list the amount for payment on the next month’s bills list. The Township does not provide labor or pay for labor relating to the needed repairs.

Stan , Jr.
Township Manager

I almost feel like I hit the lottery

Impressive. I'm not sure if they do that here...but our mailboxes aren't on the road here. The mail carrier walks.

Shit, if a plow hits my mail box the truck will be in my living room.

The plow never hits my mailbox. It just knocks mailboxes over from the force of the snow from driving so fast. I literally have 4ft of snow piled up around my mailbox.

Same here, plus he would have to take out/make its way up the stairs to reach it.

My street is still only about a lane and a half wide.

That's all the wider my street is in the summer!

Indoor plumbing, yes, electricity, yes. Wide streets... yeah, not yet.
