Mailboxes Built to Last - June 10, 2011

If you are seeking to buy mailboxes, you are no doubt looking for items that are high quality. After all, there is no point in spending your hard-earned cash on offerings that fail to stand the test of time.

Not only would this be a waste of cash, it would also cause you hassle as before long, you would have to replace the postboxes.

The problem is, sometimes you have to make a trade off between price and the standard of the products you buy. If you are operating on a limited budget, you cannot afford to splash out on the most expensive items on the market. And some of the cheaper ones are substandard.

However, if you are careful, you can get the best of both worlds. For example, here at Mailbox Mania, we know the importance of providing our customers with great value mail boxes that are built to last.

We provide such products to both residential and commercial firms and have a history of fulfilling their needs. We only work with recognised manufacturers that consistently produce quality postboxes.

Traditional and Modern Ways to Receive Mail - May 20, 2011

If you are buying a new front door, you may well need to decide whether to fit a traditional letter box in it to receive your mail, or install a modern, residential postbox outside. Both options have their own respective benefits, so a little consideration may be needed before making your decision.

Traditional
Probably the most convincing argument for fitting a letter box is that you can pick-up your post without going outside. This can be a compelling factor on those winter days when the last thing you need is a an Arctic breeze in your face first thing in the morning. Security is also not an issue as once your post has been delivered, it is safely inside your home. Sadly, the key disadvantage of this option is in having to cut a hole in your attractive, new front door.

Modern
Residential boxes are made from highly-resistant materials with robust locking systems so they are incredibly secure. A residential box typically has a bigger access slot than a standard letter box, so it can accommodate those larger packages which you normally have to collect from the post office. A postbox can also be fitted near enough to the front door so that you don’t need to slip out of your pyjamas to collect your post first thing in the morning.

Private Letter Boxes - March 25, 2010

The private letter boxes that we take for granted these days were first seen in Paris in the late 18th century, and only made it across the Channel in the mid-19th century; before the mail was delivered to the local post office for collection.  When the postman doing his rounds first came on the scene in the UK, he would actually knock on the door to give the post directly to the householder.  On much of the continent and in North America, the preference has always been for external metal post boxes, either mounted on the side of a house or on a post.  In the USA they often have a flag on them that the postman flips to let the householder know that they have mail to collect.

Until recently these external post boxes were rare in the UK, although multi-tenancy buildings like apartments in city centres such as London would have individual mailboxes in the entrance way to the property, and this practice is still common.  External mail boxes are starting to become more widely seen these days in the UK at domestic properties, as they have several advantages over the traditional slot in the front door - and they can also be a decorative addition to the house.

Here at Mailbox Mania we stock all kinds of letter boxes, newspaper boxes and even boxes designed to take parcels.  From moulded Victorian styles right through to the most uber chic stainless steel post boxes we have the right look to complement your home at affordable prices.

Save the Postman from the Dog with a Mailbox - March 4, 2010

Dogs are the bane of the average postman or woman’s working life.  They can be barked at, chased and rather too often bitten whilst going about their daily job of delivering the post.  Unfortunately most owners see their beloved pets through rose tinted glasses and have difficulty believing that their dog can actually make the postie’s life very difficult.

The response that most people have to a letter from Royal Mail complaining about the postman being in fear of losing his fingers is that he shouldn’t put them through letter boxes, then.  However, the Royal Mail is well within the bounds of the law to refuse to deliver your post if you fail to restrain your pet.

The simple solution is to fit a residential mailbox on the wall by the door for your mail.  This is far more humane than having your dogs muzzled at all times, and need not cost a fortune.  Here at Mailbox Mania we can supply lots of different designs of mail boxes in a durable, strong steel that will stand the test of time.  By installing one of our post boxes you can resolve your post problem in minutes.

Don’t worry if you have your papers delivered as there are boxes that are perfect for both letters and papers, so even if you blocked up your letter box you could still get your papers delivered - and of course they wouldn’t have teeth marks in them anymore! Whatever kind of home you have we are sure to have a mailbox that will look great.

Make sure you get your birthday cards - February 24, 2010

If you live in a shared address you need to make sure that each individual address has secure residential mailboxes. You will find that some addresses have shared post boxes and this is not a good idea as your post could go missing and it could be down to anyone that has been into the building, so it is therefore hard to trace whoever took it.

If you do not receive your post you may miss out on an important letter, an important bill that needs paying or maybe birthday cards could go missing- especially if the thief thinks that there is a possibility that money could be in them.

You need to make sure that this does not happen and you can do this by making sure that each individual address in the building has their own residential mailboxes for the postman to deliver their mail into.

As the mailboxes have locks on and the postman posts each letter into the correct address, this means that your post is kept secure and guarantees that you will receive all of the post that is sent to you, without the fear of having to worry that someone else has taken it.

Here at Mailbox Mania we have a range of post boxes and they can be purchased individually and if you have a large number of post boxes needed they can be connected together so each address has a mailbox, while they are all located in the same place together making it easier for the postman to deliver your letters.

Letter boxes for your residential address - February 10, 2010

If you live in a shared residential address you are at risk of a large number of people living in your building may have access to your post, this means that you may not be receiving all of your mail, which could be a great concern. So making sure that each individual address in your building has separate residential mailboxes is a way to make sure that you mail remains safe.

Having residential mailboxes guarantees that the post is only accessed by the name on the envelope and you are guaranteed security as the mailboxes all have locks on so that the key holder can only access it. Here at Mailbox Mania there are a range of residential mailboxes available and you need to make sure that you opt for a unit that is suitable for your building.

If you have a lobby then the mailboxes can be attached to the wall of the lobby. Each of the individual mailboxes are attached together and then attached to the wall and labelled for each individual address. It is then down to the postman to post the mail into the correct residential mailbox. These can also be attached to a wall on the outside of the building as well if you do not have a reception that can be accessed with ease.

There are also residential mailboxes that can be put through a wall so the mail is posted through the outside of the building and collected from the inside, but it depends on the residential situation.

Bright and colourful residential Mailboxes - January 27, 2010

Filed under: Residential Mailboxes — Tags: , , , — admin @ 11:50 am

When you have post delivered to your home, you need to make sure that you have residential mailboxes that will meet your individual needs. Your post is very important, and there are a range of items that are delivered through your letterbox in your front door and you must make sure that they remain safe until you are ready to collect them.

Here at Mailbox Mania we appreciate that everyone needs a mailbox, and we have a wide range of mailboxes so that there is a mailbox that is suitable for every residential address.

Some of the mailboxes that we have come in stainless steel and they are finished in either a matt or shiny finish. However, if you would rather have a mailbox in a bright, attractive colour, we also have galvanised steel mailboxes that have been powder coated in a paint to suit the environment in which they will be displayed.

All of the mailboxes that we have here are predrilled and come with all of the fixings that you would need to make sure that your mailbox is hung correctly - and that it will stay hung in place for years to come. This is essential because if you use the incorrect fixings, you may injure someone when it falls off of the wall.

Your budget will influence the decision upon what mailbox you choose, as all of the mailboxes vary in prices.  All of our mailboxes have a lock and we guarantee that your post will be kept secure.

If you need Residential Mailboxes - January 20, 2010

If you have a shared address you need to make sure that each of the addresses have individual, residential mailboxes. You always need to make sure that your post is secure, and with a shared mailbox you cannot guarantee that your mail is secure and that you will receive everything that is sent to you.

Here at Mailbox Mania we have identified these problem areas and we have some great residential mailboxes that can be modified to meet each individual building’s needs - all of which have secure locks on, so that only the key holders can access the mail.

There are multiple occupancy mailboxes that come in a wide variety of options. There are free standing units that have mailboxes attached, and these are great if you do not have a spare wall to hang them on as the unit can be placed anywhere where there is a space.

Also, there are horizontal and vertical mailboxes. They come in a range of sizes and you can have as many of the units that you require, as they are attached together so that you can create a larger unit so each resident that lives in the address has a secure letterbox.  These can be mounted on a wall on either the inside or the outside of the property.

There are also mailboxes that can fit through the wall of the building, so the mail is posted through the front of the letter boxes and then the post can be retrieved by the key holder from the inside of the building.

Residential mailboxes for a flat - December 23, 2009

Living in a residential address means that you need to ensure that you have residential mailboxes, for the simple reason that this is the best method of keeping your personal post safe and secure.

There is such a wide range of residential mailboxes available on the market today that you need to make sure that you have the chosen right one to accommodate your residential needs - as well as the rest of the building’s.

No matter what sort of residential property you live in, here at Mailbox Mania we have mailboxes to suit your property. Living in a shared address such as a block of flats can have an easily resolved solution. There are multiple occupancy mailboxes, which involve having a number of mail boxes connected together so that each individual flat has a letter box in one central location.

These can be placed on the wall outside of the building, or if the postage delivery person can gain access to the reception of the building this is usually the ideal place to have it.  All of the mailboxes come predrilled and with all the fixings that you need so they are ready to install, no extra fuss.

Each individual mailbox has a cylinder lock so the resident to whom the mail box belongs is the only one to have access to it. These are a far better option than having all the post gathered in one large mailbox or, as often happens, scattered all across the back of the entrance door – leaving you open to identity fraud and lost mail.

So, in effort to avoid such a nuisance, contact Mailbox Mania and we will discuss how our extensive range of mailboxes can cater to your individual needs.
