A mailbox arrangement features a mailbox; a pipe for coupling and/or affixing the mailbox to the ground in a desired position, the pipe being arranged on a slanted axis in relation to the axis of force of gravity acting on the mailbox; and a swing bearing assembly arranged between the mailbox and the pipe for rotating the mailbox 360 degrees or more in relation to the pipe in response to impact, including that from snow, slush, ice or water thrown from a plowblade when streets are being cleaned in the winter time, as well as impact from vandalism, and for returning the mailbox to the desired position based on the force of gravity acting on the mailbox. The swing bearing assembly may include a flange bearing or a wheel bearing.
