Summary

Securing a loose letter box in Riccarton, Christchurch required either firmly refixing it to the fence or installing a new post and mounting the box. The customer’s brief from the Mailbox Installation & Repair category emphasised a sturdy arrangement to stop the box ‘dropping off its perch’. The job attracted two offers and the selected offer was $70. The handyman outlined two clear options in the bid: refix the existing letter box to the fence or fully reinstate the letterbox onto a new post dug to 600mm if the original fixings were unsuitable. The handyman completed the agreed work and ensured the letter box was secure to prevent future detachment. The customer gave a 5-star rating and wrote: "Excellent job done. Solution focussed. Timely communication & reliable - would seek his assistance again. Would recommend to others."
