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.
Residential mailboxes are a practical part of your home but they can also look decorative. These kinds of letter boxes can either be basic or you can have one that is a little more elaborate. Here are some hints and tips below to make the most out of residential mailboxes.
You need to put your mailbox in the correct place. This should be near to the outside boundary of your home, close to the pavement and at the correct height, so it is easily accessible for the postman.
Ensure that you dig a hole for a post that is at least twice the size of its width and 1 foot deep.
Once you have put the post in place, you now need to pour concrete around the bottom of it. Once the concrete has hardened you can now fill the hole with some of the soil that was dug up, as this will enable the post to stand alone. Now leave the post for a day or two so it will be stable.
Once the post is stabilised, you need to attach the letter box to the top of the post. There are many different ways to do this and it all depends on what style of mailbox you have purchased and what kind of post you have used. Always follow manufacturer’s instructions when erecting your residential mailbox.
What ever style of mailbox you are looking for, here at Mailbox Mania we have a wide range for you to choose from that will meet your needs and requirements.
Many smaller businesses these days operate from serviced offices, or even virtual offices. A serviced office tends to be in a building that has been specifically converted, or even constructed just to house lots of offices and workspaces of different sizes so that tenants can just rent the space they need. A serviced office will generally have a reception and receptionists, and often offer back up secretarial services for the clients. A virtual office is generally just a mailing address that gives the embryonic starter company an image of being established at a prestigious address; one thing that both offer is somewhere for your business post to be delivered.
However, if you are developing a serviced or virtual office, or indeed renting one, you may be interested to know that one thing that the people renting them do not like is the ‘pigeon-hole’ method of mailboxes. This is when, rather than having a secure individual mail box for your post to be delivered to, it is put into open wall-mounted post boxes for you to collect. This offers no security for your post and it is too easy for someone to take it by mistake, or by design. The only way to make sure that your post is safe is if you have an individual locked box for which only you have the key.
Here at Mailbox Mania we specialise in selling all manner of mail boxes for internal and external use and have the perfect mail boxes for both multi-tenancy business properties and domestic properties.
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.
