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.

Residential Postboxes - May 10, 2011

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:08 am

Whether country houses or city apartments, all properties need to have an effective way of receiving mail. Residential postboxes are becoming an increasingly popular way for people to receive their mail as they are available in a wide variety of styles and sizes, and have reliable security features. They can also help to give a property character as they have very stylish appeal.

Size
Mailboxes are available in standard sizes and larger sizes. Standard sizes can typically  accommodate mail which a standard letterbox would allow, whereas larger sizes can cater for plenty of over-sized mail such as parcels and multiple newspapers.

Security
Most postboxes are very secure as they can only be accessed from the top or back with a security key. Stainless steel boxes are a very popular choice as they are constructed from a thick, high grade steel which makes them incredibly robust and secure. Steel boxes are also incredibly durable and so are able to easily stand up to inclement weather. For added security, through-the-wall mailboxes can be the perfect option. These boxes are installed within the wall of a residence so that only the front panel of the box is accessible from the outside. This means that items deposited in the box can only be accessed by the occupant from the inside. These type of boxes represent maximum security as the postman only has limited access from the front when delivering post.

Magical Mailboxes - March 6, 2011

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 5:57 pm

At www.mailboxmania.co.uk, we are just mad about mailboxes and letterboxes. For us, it is much more than a business; it is a way of life. We love the functionality and style of mailboxes, and the amazing ways designers have managed to make a household item which could have been regarded as mundane into a veritable work of art which is functional yet beautiful.

Despite advances in technology and the advent of e-mail,  we know that so called ‘snail mail’ will never be replaced by its electronic cousin. There is something wonderfully and magically tactile about receiving a letter from a loved one abroad, or even a correspondence from a highly regarded business colleague.  At Mailbox Mania, we hope to provide pristine and premium mailboxes and letterboxes to the public for generations to come. We feel privileged to have secured a place in the provision of perfect post-boxes and magnificent mailboxes.

We always ensure that the quality of our products is optimal and offer a selection which includes multi-occupancy boxes, steel gates and railing letterboxes, through the wall boxes, cast aluminium boxes, large capacity newspaper boxes and even anti-arson post-boxes.  Whatever your requirements and desires, we can advise you on the very best post-box for your residential or business property which will enhance the appearance of your property’s facade.  We always welcome enquiries from those who collect mailboxes as well as those who need them for more practical reasons.

The popularity of the post box is directly linked to the development of modern industrial urban societies and the extension of communication infrastructures in both Europe and America. So it is therefore inextricably intertwined with the development of our modern Western civilisations, and we are proud to be associated with such wonderful products.

USA To UK - Mail Boxes - December 2, 2010

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:24 pm

A little bit of cultural diversity can be a wonderful thing! We stock a splendid range of US mail boxes, designed and created to perfectly echo the illustrious original design of US Postal Service employee Roy J. Joroleman.

Joroleman’s eponymous design first hit the curbs of US streets in 1915. The domed, tunnel shaped body, latched door and moveable signal flag are as cemented in American culture as Ford pick-ups and maple syrup on bacon! The now familiar curved top was designed with weather resilience in mind, preventing snow and water gathering and damaging the mail box itself or post held within.

The original intention of the red (or sometimes orange) signal flag was to alert both the resident of a property to new mail, and also the postman to outgoing mail – a godsend in rural and weather-beaten areas!

We offer a choice of mail box material – standard galvanised steel or fully rust/weatherproof aluminium. Of course our designs feature the legendary red signal flag and optional black pole stand.

Our Steel Range (available in black or white)

Traditionally, US mail boxes are made using galvanised steel. Although indisposed to the ravages of the environment, these mail boxes are built to last in the same way as Volvos, Granddads and tractors are. Simply put, it’ll take a LOT of the tempestuous British weather to mar our steel mail boxes!

Our Aluminium Range (available in black, white or silver)

As a completely weatherproof option, our aluminium mail boxes are a great option for those less concerned with authenticity.

Privacy and Your Mail - November 24, 2010

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:59 pm

The importance of guaranteed privacy in our growing population should never be underestimated. With a population exceeding 60,000,000 living, working and playing in an area 1/13 the size of Alaska, safeguarding personal space and security is an important step.

Whether at home or throughout the business world, postal services keep us connected and informed, providing a vital daily lifeline that most of us simply couldn’t live without. The security of this lifeline is certainly a valuable asset.

Occupancy
Multiple-occupancy mail boxes can present a problem when installed incorrectly. As unpleasant as it may sound, multiple-occupancy mail boxes often fall victim to vandalism, making their qualities of strength and durability more crucial than ever.

The absolute aim of our designers and instillation experts is the safety of occupant mail (be that from external threats or each other). We’re so confident in our multiple-occupancy mail boxes that we provide unique customer service post-instillation.

Commercial Business
Although potentially exposed to many of the same threats as multiple-occupancy post boxes, commercial business post boxes need be no less strong, professionally designed and installed, or durable. In busy atmospheres commercial post boxes make a fantastic way to guard the individual privacy of a person/business with incredible ease (resulting in far less lost post we’re sure!)

Whatever your mail issues, give one of our team a call to see what our designers and mailbox engineers could do for you in terms of providing workable, cost effective solutions that satisfy your mail needs 100%.

Choosing the Right Mailbox - October 24, 2010

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 11:08 am

Buying any product is now both easier and harder than ever before. There is a huge range of every imaginable invention and not only a plethora of places to purchase on the high street but also online. The downside for the more indecisive of us is that suddenly we are faced with such choice that making the right one can often seem a huge task.

Every home needs a mail box, and even the most indecisive of us may well find ourselves having to choose from the vast array of mailboxes on offer. However, at least here there are certain criteria you can check to see if you are getting the right mail box for you.

Location – where you want it standing will have a big impact on what style you buy. Choose your location first, knowing whether you want it on a wall, in a porch or at the end of a driveway.

Material – mailboxes standing at the side of the road will likely need to be much more hard-wearing than one inside the porch. Consider weather conditions as a plastic mail box will likely be blown down if you experience high winds, while certain metals may rust. You may also want to consider cast iron for a more rustic look, while stainless steel would add a very modern feel.

Size – if you receive large quantities of post, size will be important to ensure the post doesn’t overflow and disappear.

If you still need guidance as to what you might need, we at Mailbox Mania are sure to be able to help.

Safety in Numbers - October 14, 2010

Filed under: Letter Boxes — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:56 am

Keeping your correspondence safe is just as important whether you live in a building with three other flats, or a hundred others. With identity fraud on the rise, it might not even be your neighbours you have to look out for, but any number of visitors or contractors that might pass through your building.

Many smaller apartment blocks, and even some larger ones, still do not have individual mailboxes, but instead have a single letter box and let each occupant collect their own mail from the jumbled pile scattered across the floor or stuffed into a recess. If you want to keep your items safe, purchasing – or insisting upon being supplied – your own personal letter box is essential.

Multi-occupancy mailboxes are available in many styles, designed specifically to fit in or outside of any communal dwelling, whether you need two or two hundred. They can be attached to any wall or fitted into any recess meaning that gaining security doesn’t mean you necessarily have to lose a great deal of space. There is also the option to purchase predesigned versions for those who don’t want to have to choose separate letter boxes, surrounds and fixings.

Whatever your needs, Mailbox Mania can meet any requirements you may have, whether you need them freestanding, recessed or wall fixed. There are a wide range of colours to suit any colour scheme and a range of sizes to suit anyone, bringing you great quality, making your life that little bit simpler and giving you peace of mind all at the same time.

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.

Mail Boxes, Not Male Boxes - October 4, 2010

Filed under: mail box — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:42 am

Mailboxes don’t have to be masculine monstrosities. For those living off the beaten track, or simply those with a flavour for something a little more interesting and less intrusive than cutting a big hole in the front door, mailboxes can be both a practical answer and one that lends character to your garden and property.

While larger, stainless steel letterboxes might be more practical in terms of holding larger items and surviving any weather our fickle country might throw at it, they aren’t always particularly easy on the eye. If you are more interested in keeping the look of your carefully manicured garden in tact, then there are plenty of more rustic looking letterboxes that are equally tough against the weather.

Going for a more classic or interesting look, doesn’t have to mean you have to try and find something made a hundred years ago from rotting wood and tree sap. There are plenty of great quality items made from cast aluminium which are hard-wearing, attractive and versatile. For those with an eye for something more kitsch and quirky, there is also a range of US style mailboxes which are both durable and weatherproof, complete with the red flag to indicate when mail is ready to be collected.

Whatever style you need, we at Mailbox Mania are sure to have everything you need to ensure that neither looks nor practicality are overlooked and rather than being a blot on the landscape, your mailbox could add just the right amount of class that you are looking for.
