The forms, priced apart by frame
| Form, as quoted | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Post-mount form | no post-mount row printed in Frame A | standard installation at $150-$350; premium mailbox with decorative post at $400-$600 |
| Wall-mount form | no wall-mount row printed in Frame A | no separate wall-mount band printed; the standard band stands at $150-$350 |
| Brick/column form | new brick mailbox at $600-$1,500 | masonry-structure labor at $500-$1,200 |
Each reading is one frame's own counting, on a new mailbox unit or structure installed. Frame A answers only the brick/column form, as one new-structure band; Frame B answers the post-mount form with its standard and premium bands and the brick/column form with its masonry-structure labor line, so the form figures land differently by frame and are never averaged together. Neither frame prints a separate wall-mount band: the wall-mount form reads against the unit-alone and labor-alone lines in Frame B and carries no Frame A row.

The brick/column row and its new-structure band print inside Frame A beside the form rows; the post-mount and wall-mount rows carry no Frame A reading, and the repair line stands apart from every form row.
The Frame B lines behind the form rows
| Line, as published | Frame | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Standard installation, average | Frame B | $150-$350 |
| Premium mailbox with decorative post | Frame B | $400-$600 |
| Installation labor alone | Frame B | $100-$400 |
| Unit alone | Frame B | $20-$500+ |
| Posts | Frame B | $25-$250 |
| Masonry-structure labor, brick/column form | Frame B | $500-$1,200 |
Frame B answers the form question by its own lines: the standard and premium bands carry the post-mount row, and the masonry-structure labor line carries the brick/column row. The new brick mailbox band stands in Frame A alone at $600-$1,500, with the existing-brick repair line named apart at $150-$400.
Forms priced apart, neighbours named apart
A form line answers the form question only inside its own frame, on a new mailbox installation alone. Named apart, never a row here: repair of an existing masonry mailbox structure; mail slots; and cluster box units.
