The Post Box

For customers who require that extra level of security and discretion for their personal correspondence, through-the-wall mailboxes are an innovative solution to problems with mail security.

Through-the-wall post boxes have an ingenious design which only allows the postman access to the front mail slot, whilst only the home owner has access to the mail. Large capacity fixed depth post boxes are designed with various sizes of fixed depth mail chutes which allow the mail to slide safely to the bottom of the chute, only to be retrieved by the key holder. From the outside, these mailboxes look identical to more orthodox boxes and can be used either in walls, or on gate posts.  They are constructed from tough, galvanised, zinc coated steel, are weather proof, rust resistant, and include a cylinder lock with two keys included and an external window in which you can mount your name and/or address. These prime products are guaranteed for five years.

Our telescopic post boxes provide another versatile and innovative option. Their telescopic design allows the depth of mail chute to be easily adjusted and several mailboxes can be stacked on top of each other on your side of the wall in order to offer you ever increasing mailbox capacity. These boxes are available complete with letter plates in a variety of colours and are secured by cylinder lock with keys provided, have all fittings included and a three years manufacturer’s warranty. They have an adjustable depth which makes them suitable for any wall thickness up to 490mm.

Mailbox Mania will always keep your post safe and secure whatever the weather!

If you are looking for a secure and durable solution to your mailbox requirements you would do well to consider metal post boxes.

Metal post boxes are weather resistant, giving your mail protection against rain, sleet, and snow, icy conditions, and also intense, continuous hot weather. In a rapidly changing climate, full of extremes, as seen in the UK, you could really benefit from having one of these robust mailboxes.

Metal post boxes, especially of the stainless steel variety, are rust proof, and likely to last you for a number of years.

Metal post boxes are especially secure and are made of strong intruder-proof materials. When coming with a combination lock these post boxes are highly theft resistant. With identity theft being a growing problem these days, it’s important to have the strongest protection in place for your mail.

Fortunately, there are a lot of choices when it comes to the types of metal post box most suited to residential or business use.

Here at Mailbox Mania we offer a high variety of metal post boxes to suit all your needs, from a modest indoor suggestion box to an arson proof standalone mailbox for outdoor installation.

Should privacy be a special concern we also offer “through the wall” metal post boxes. These are installed in a wall or pillar, so the postman only has access to the front posting slot whilst you only have access to the mail retrieval.

When it comes to mail, nobody likes getting bills, but everyone likes getting tasty mail tidbits, special letters from friends, family and lovers, vouchers and competitions. That is just how the mail cookie crumbles. However, everyone needs a mail receptacle in order to ensure that they get their mail every time, bills or not.

That is why shopping for post boxes is such an important task. You need to look at the variety of post boxes available to you and make the right decision about the best one for your needs.

Picking perfection

Now, the types of post boxes you will be looking at and browsing through will depend on your needs. Is your post box going have to stand up to the elements or is it going to be sheltered? Do you want one that is free standing or wall mounted, maybe mounted in your door?

Do you want a high security or anti-arson post box? All of these factors play a part in your final decision when you are out shopping for post boxes. Are you going to need an irregularly large box for packages and irregular parcels?

Do you want something to add to the looks of your home or garden? Here at Mailbox Mania, we offer you a huge variety of post boxes to choose from. Not only that, but we make life easier for you with online shopping.

Come to us for a complete and comprehensive solution when shopping for post boxes that offer you the best value for your hard-earned money.
