The mailbox can be obtained in a letter from the post office after the player saves 100,000,000 Bells. This item can only be obtained once per player. For the purpose of fêng shui, its color is special. This item is lucky, meaning it gives a 777-point Happy Room Academy bonus when placed in the player's house.

No villagers have this item in their home.

Version differences

The mailbox in Doubutsu no Mori+

In Doubutsu no Mori+, the mailbox has a more traditionally Japanese design. Doubutsu no Mori e+ retains the design from Animal Crossing.

Leftover dummy item

The dummy model used by unused items in Animal Crossing.

In Animal Crossing, the original version of the mailbox from Doubutsu no Mori+ is still leftover in the game data as a dummy item, unobtainable without gameplay modification or glitches. It has the unused name "post box" and uses the dummy model, a white triangle with red Japanese text reading ダミー (damī, dummy). Its name was also translated to other languages in the European version of Animal Crossing, with the name "casilla postal" in Spanish, "boîte à lettres" in French, "Briefkasten" in German, and "cassetta lettere" in Italian.

The item remains unused in Doubutsu no Mori e+, where, as with all dummy items in that game, its name appears as "かぐ?" (kagu?, furniture?) in the player's inventory. However, when dropped on the ground outside, its name from Doubutsu no Mori+ is shown. The item appears as the same dummy model but cannot be placed down in the player's house if in their inventory.
