How to Keep Your Pet from Bothering the Postman - February 13, 2011

Filed under: Maibox Articles — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:20 pm

If you have a dog or cat that’s just a little bit too friendly with the postman—or perhaps unfriendly—and you want to teach them not to bother him or other strangers when they come to your door, here are some tips to help you keep your pet from bothering the postman.

First, if you let your pet outside during the day and he or she is out when the postman comes to the postboxes, warn your postman that you have pets. If you see your postman you can tell him, but if you don’t, you can put up a “beware of dog” sign or some other sign indicating that you have pets. Warning the postman in advance may help a lot because the pet won’t surprise them when he’s putting post in the postboxes.

Next, teach your dog or cat not to bother strangers with loud noises, clawing, biting, etc. You can use books or the internet to find ways of training your pet, or you could take your pet to an obedience class.

If you keep your pet inside but they bother the postman by barking loudly, or perhaps sticking their paws through letterboxes or post slots in the door, you can get letterboxes with slits that open on the outside, or you can get some kind of an insert that will keep your pet from being able to stick its paws through.

The best prevention is to train your pet. And there is no excuse for a misbehaving pet when there are so many resources out there on how to train your animal to be nice and friendly.

How to Decorate Your Postbox - January 30, 2011

Filed under: Maibox Articles — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:35 am

Are you an individual with a big personality? If so, you probably love being different, and trying to stand out from the crowd. Well, here’s another way to do that—decorate your postbox! Why not make it a statement of your creativity and personality? Here are some ideas on how to decorate a postbox or letter box.

First, gather together some craft materials. You can use stickers, vinyl cling-ons, paints, glitter glue, and anything that you could glue onto the postbox or draw onto it with.

Now, get some ideas down on paper. Do a rough sketch of what you have in mind so that you can work from it with your final design. That way you will make fewer mistakes and you will have a basic idea of how your letter box will look when it’s finished.

If you want to do a flower/garden theme, you could use flower stickers and paint stems and blaids of grass with green paint. Be sure to use waterproof paint, or go over the whole box with a waterproof finish when you are done so it won’t be spoiled by the weather.

Another idea is to paint the outside with little windows and doors as if it were a house or barn. You could even paint little animal faces looking out of the windows of your barn.

Bring a smile to the faces of everyone who sees your new post box. Be creative, colourful, and express your personality to the world.

The Benefits of Exterior Mailboxes - October 19, 2010

Filed under: Maibox Articles — Tags: , , , — admin @ 1:01 pm

It may be nice to simply have to make the trek to the front door to get the morning’s post, but for those with more over eager postmen, the sound of the letter box going can be enough to wake them, or if not them then the dog whose plaintive howling - at what is a common occurrence but still seems to always take them by surprise - will surely be enough to rouse even the deepest sleeper.

Then there is the worry that those perturbed puppies might in turn rip into that important letter or bank statement, leaving you with a shower of costly confetti across your hallway.

If these scenarios sound all too familiar, it is worth considering purchasing an outside mail box. An exterior mail box is not only practically superior in many ways, but can also be a great addition to the look of your house. While the standard letter box will leave you sawing a huge chunk out of what may well have been an expensive and attractive door, exterior mailboxes can be chosen to complement any aesthetic from the chic modern look to the old world rustic feel of the countryside.

Using an exterior mail box will also grant freedom from pesky drafts, so not only will you be treating yourself, you’ll also be treating the environment a little bit too. Mailbox Mania have a wide range of products to suit any needs, so if you want some peace, quiet and warmth, we are here to help.

Mailboxes for the Ardent Traveller - October 9, 2010

Filed under: Maibox Articles — Tags: , , , — admin @ 2:52 pm

With today’s fast paced, expeditious lifestyles combined with the surge in low cost flight and holiday companies, being away from home for long periods of time has never been more standard than it is today. And unless you have a neighbour you can really trust to empty them on a regular basis, freestanding mailboxes can soon reach brimming point and leave your frustrated postman stuffing letters in places they shouldn’t go and leave thoughtless winds prone to scattering the contents of your life across your lawn for anyone to pick up.

Choosing the right mail box is much more important than one might think. Looks and material seem to be the main requirements, with most people opting for hard-wearing, weather resistant models which complement their pre-planned aesthetic. However, for those who may regularly be away for days on end, size should play a much more important part.

At Mailbox Mania we have an array of attractive, high quality mailboxes with larger than normal capacities to ensure that your mail stays your mail. Our Bobi range is widely regarded as the finest on the market offering you unbeatable quality and piece of mind for even longer sojourns.

Having extra space will also help when you’re not away too, meaning that larger packages can be left in your mail box, saving numerous trips to the post-office to pick up deliveries you might have missed.

If size matters to you, we’re almost certain to have the right style to fulfil all of your needs.

These days the range of post boxes and letter boxes fitted with safety locking features now available to consumers is vast. Many people prefer to feel safe in the knowledge that their letter boxes have a lockable feature protecting delivered mail.

Residential mailboxes fitted with safety locking can generally be split into the following groups:

Mounted residential mailboxes of this variety which have lockable security can be found in a range of durable materials including; aluminium, brass and the most popular of all is the stainless steel post boxes.

Curb-side Residential Mailboxes

Probably the most popular of all residential mailboxes (with or without locking facilities); this type are mostly seen in highly populated areas but also used by many in rural areas too. Typically, curb-side mailboxes which provide long-term quality and safety provide an excellent locking feature, space to hold newspapers and ease of recovering mail items from inside and outside an external door.

At Mailbox Mania we are relied upon to provide the best quality post boxes and letter boxes with the largest range of lockable and standard letter boxes and post boxes available on the UK market at the best prices around.

From Paris with Love - July 13, 2010

Post boxes, whether residential mailboxes or those used for commercial reasons such as stainless steel post boxes and metal post boxes, are some of the most common items used in everyday life.

Whilst letter boxes are used daily and absolutely millions of them are regularly used and one of the most commonly sighted view at or in a door of a residential property it is a subject that is rarely discussed as it is rather limited in its context.

For instance, there are not many people who know the history of the first letter boxes and surprisingly enough their concept first evolved in the fashion capital of Europe in Paris, France as far back as early 1700. During the forthcoming years cities and countries across the world began to realise the importance and convenience of owning letter boxes and as such these important but lesser discussed features began to appear at the front of properties across the globe.

As the world has evolved to the next stage of communication via the internet, it is still necessary to have mail boxes within our homes and places of work. Much emphasis is still put on the legal nature of exchanging physical documents and in many cases this is due to the demand for authentic personal signatures that form an integral part of legalising a transaction or agreement.

During the past 3 years we at Mailbox Mania have enjoyed success after success and we are now one of the largest retailers in the UK who provide exceptional quality stainless steel post boxes.
