Ran Over the Mailbox

Yesterday, I was having some new furniture delivered.  The delivery truck slowly backed down our very narrow driveway.  They really took their time, one delivery man got out of the truck and tried to direct the driver.  Backward and forward they went over and over until they finally got the truck off the road and down the driveway.  
They very carefully took each piece of furniture off the truck, brought it into the house, put it in the right spot, unwrapped and polished each piece.    I was so happy with the furniture and the care of my furniture being delivered.  The driver seemed to be so cautions and delivery seemed to be flawless with very good customer service.  
When they were finished in the house, it was time for them to leave.  They walked out of the garage and got into their delivery truck.  As they started to pull away, we all happily waved good by to them.  They drove down the driveway and started to turn onto the road.  That is when we heard a crash with a dragging sound.  We did not see any other cars coming or going.  We ran down the driveway as they were getting out of their delivery truck.  To our surprise, our mailbox was under their truck and had been drug for some distance.   
We checked to make sure that everyone was ok and started to pull our flattened mailbox out from under their truck.  They called their office and were told to tell us that they would replace the mailbox.  
We started to look for replacements and found some great column mailboxes that we thought would be a good sturdy replacement.  
The one we like has a great look and would be a great replacement for the one that was ran over by the delivery truck.
