Ideal for decorative mailbox covers!

I bought some decorative mailbox covers and the numbers that come with them are too small to be useful for people trying to locate my house. These 2 inch numbers are perfect for uniquely identifying my house. Easy to see, easy to read and they hold up well. I bought several packages; They are amazing!

Pros
  • Elegant Design
Cons
  • Some Cons

All #5s and one #4 and one #6 are missing. OUT!

Appears like the item has been repackaged. #5 is missing completely. and a #4 and a #6. Since I NEED #5, this entire purchase is worthless to me. So, quality control of returned/shipped items, zero stars. It's probably good for the product itself, but I'm not just going to post a bunch of numbers on my mailbox, it just sabotages everything.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Some defects

Waste of money

Numbers don't separate well from paper. Instead the paper split into 2 layers leaving a very thin layer of paper where the sticky side of the number should be. This thin paper could not be removed. Out of two complete sets I was only able to get one figure on paper in usable condition. Very disappointing! A vendor needs to open multiple packages of their products and encounters a problem.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • There are doubts

Not sure if they are suitable for outdoor use

I bought these for use on metal mailboxes. They are very thin and light and I'm not sure they will last long. They were VERY difficult to remove from the backing paper. We wanted to bring them back because we could get them to separate in the right place, but after a few tries we were able to remove them again. The glue was also very light and I was able to rearrange the numbers. I will update the review in 6-8 months to see if they have any longevity.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Updates

Numbers do not come off the backing

Only about half of the numbers come off the backing even though I removed them very carefully and slowly from the paper backing. Most numbers came off with the top layer of backing paper attached to the number's adhesive, rendering them unusable. Maybe they got hot on the way to me, but overall the experience was very disappointing. The numbers I was able to get without peeling off the backing seem to work fine on my 18 gallon Rubbermaid tubs.

Pros
  • Solid
Cons
  • Damaged

Buyer Warning! suitable for house numbers, signs and signs

These stickers are a complete waste of money. They cannot be torn from the wax paper they are attached to without tearing the paper in half with half of the paper still attached to the sticker without exposing the adhesive. This renders them completely useless because now they have no way of holding on to anything. I threw them all away when it became clear I couldn't attach them to anything. I know they're only $2 so I won't even waste time returning them. However, $2 is still $2 and I wish…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
