@_txgal most definitely. I repaired my father's mailbox several times. The plow never actually hit it. However, the box is at the end of the driveway on a county road. The drivers would come by plowing so fast that the wave of snow and ice would crush the box. An all-brick structure would probably have withstood the onslaught. His exposed aluminum box, even the super heavy duty ones, stood no chance. To their credit, the county repaired it a few times themselves.
