Ok, not asking for an appeal, but trying to understand the rejection reason.
The said postbox can be seen on Streetview as is.
The following link was added to the supplimental information to show that this is a valid postbox.
In this link, part way down, it shows the style of postbox with the same facia.
So I am confused as to why this was rejected. Any feedback would be appreciated.
(And yes, I know, it’s not straight!)
I don’t know. None of the reasons provided are true, but those reasons may be coupled with others in the review flow (like permanent or distinct).
Sometimes, I think reviewers experience a negative visceral reaction to the primary photo. They subsequently click wildly on the question marks until they find something that sounds right, or they just become tired and go on auto-pilot.
If you want to try again with a better photo you might try to emphasize how this style is uncommon or rare but is a full-time real post-box. Perhaps wait until the property gets a fresh coat of paint or whatever, because haters are gonna hate…
Seems like you did most things correctly, researched, provided evidence and so on. It’s often a struggle to make sense of the rejection reasons, much of the time they don’t mirror reality or provide useful feedback. This is clearly permanent and appears on streetview to prove it.
This seems like a good submission, I wonder if people saw ER and just assumed it was Elizabeth? Some reviewers really don’t take the time that they should to fully understand the submission, hopefully with an appeal or resubmission it could go through next time.
I will need to wait for an appeal to be available for me to request. I don’t want resubmit for it to be rejected again.
Also, you may want to think about why people would care about the item. If it is historic or unique, put that upfront. There are functioning postal boxes in many places (although fewer all the time) but that does not make them good wayspots.
Thats what I’m thinking! I would say put it in the title but IT IS 
Silly rejection
I sometimes shorthand King George Rex V postboxes as GR5 or GRV postboxes, because they are quite common. But a King Edward VII postbox without the VII isn’t that common, which is why I made an extra bit of effort to put the name in full.
These tend to be accepted in the UK due to the royal cypher (ER in this case) - these ones are pretty uncommon and are almost always easily accepted
Keep in mind reviewers can be from anywhere and may not know local acceptance practices.
Unless the nomination has been upgraded, the reviewers would be reasonably local. Can’t remember the exact area, but it’s unlikely to be global. If people are putting South England as their home or bonus location, they would be few and far between.
Yeah luckily with the UK we really only get people from the same country reviewing, maybe the odd French person. This is just a case of people not reading the nomination before voting
Just curious. Whats the different between king george and king edward
With regard to British Post Boxes, a shorter reign farther in the past will likely result in fewer boxes remaining in the present day.
The ‘ER’ without any roman numerals could easily be mistaken for the cypher of the long-reigning Elisabeth the Second, whose cypher appears on many thousands of postboxes, whereas Edward the Seventh had far fewer, longer ago, and most included both ‘ER’ and ‘VII’.
Oh i see thanks for the info
If you really want to delve into U.K. postboxes
There are a few Edward VIII around, really very rare because was only King within one year, abdicated.
