Roadside Mailbox System and Method

A roadside mailbox system, comprising:

• an above-ground support subsystem comprising a first post piece, a post adapter piece mounted to a top end of the first post piece, a mailbox base plate affixed to a top surface of the post adapter piece, and a mailbox housing mounted to a top surface of the mailbox base plate, the above-ground support subsystem comprises an adjustment capability which enables at least one of a height adjustment in a vertical plane or a rotational adjustment in a horizontal plane, wherein the first post piece is positioned vertically and internal to a support shell which extends from the post adapter piece to proximate the in-ground anchor area;
• an in-ground anchor subsystem comprising a second post piece, the second post piece having a bottom portion implanted into an in-ground anchor area and a top end connected to a bottom end of the first post piece, to secure the above-ground support subsystem to the in-ground anchor subsystem;
• a support shell installed over the above-ground support subsystem, the support shell and above-ground support subsystem oriented vertically to enable mail pickup and delivery operations relative to the mailbox housing;
• a breakaway subsystem which enables the above-ground support subsystem to respond to an impact to the support shell;
• and
• a standoff subsystem installed on the first post piece, and which enables adjustment of a standoff distance between the first post piece and an inside surface of the support shell, along at least one of one or two different vertical locations along the first post piece.

• a standoff subsystem installed on the first post piece, and which enables adjustment of a standoff distance between the first post piece and an inside surface of the outer shell, along at least one of one or two different vertical locations along the first post piece;
• and
• a coupling section between the first post piece and the second post piece, which second post piece is a ground implanted support post, the coupling section enables securement of the above-ground system to the in-ground anchor area.
