The Post Box

Even the modern world of communications and the internet, people are still inundated with mail received through Letter Boxes both at residential and at business premises. As we all try to cut down on waste in all forms, it is annoying to receive unsolicited mail and to have to sift through communications which are delivered through post boxes to separate bona fide letters from unwanted mail. Advertising fliers posted through letter boxes are often thrown away without being read, and even glossy magazines received through letter boxes can be put in the paper recycling without even having been opened.  This is not only a waste of paper, but a waste of money for the advertisers and promoters. People lead busy lives, and do not want to receive unsolicited mail through their letter boxes and to have to sort out the mail at the end of a busy day.

Some people who do not wish to receive unwanted mail through their post boxes put notices with “no junk mail” above their letter boxes, but this is bad news not only for the postman who has carried the mail and has to sort it out, but also for the company who has spent money producing the material.  It is not cost effective for advertisers to have their hard earned cash basically thrown in the bin. According to the BBC News site (November 2011), new measures are being introduced to reduce the amount of junk mail received through letter boxes. From April 2012 there is to be a single web site where the people can register to opt out of receiving unsolicited fliers and other mail.  Direct marketing companies have agreed to only use recyclable materials in advertisements whereas at the moment 80% of items received through your letter box do not fall into that category.   Currently people have to register on three separate web sites if they do not wish to receive junk mail – the Mailing Preference Service, the Your Choice Preference System and the Royal Mail’s Door-to-Door opt-out service.

Mail Boxes are often overflowing or letters are piled up behind the door when people return from holiday and much of it is unsolicited mail.  This all has to be sorted, causing aggravation when the majority of what has been delivered through the letter box is effectively rubbish. According to the BBC News report, on average the UK householder receives more than 370 items of unsolicited paper mail through their letter boxes each year, the greater part of it unaddressed.

In the same report, it was stated that an estimated nine billion items of unaddressed post are delivered through post boxes every year. Such mail inevitably ends up in the bin creating a lot of waste.    The Government are so concerned about the level of waste that they have brokered a deal with the Direct Marketing Association to reduce the level of unsolicited mail being delivered through post boxes in a crack down on junk mail as part of its waste review in the UK’s effort to forge ahead with a zero waste economy.

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.

Letter boxes - whether residential mailboxes or business metal post boxes - are often considered by individuals who already have a post box which performs an adequate daily function.

If letter boxes become damaged, however, and cause problems with receiving mail, then replacing the letter boxes become a priority.

Letter boxes are an essential part of every day life. However, unless a letter box becomes damaged irrevocably, or you move to a property that does have one, they are not often considered as essential purchases.

Residential mailboxes and stainless steel post boxes, as with any type of metal post boxes, often have to endure far harsher conditions from UK weather than letter boxes used in many other countries. This is accepted within the industry, and as such has lead to long-term, durable stainless steel post boxes being readily available in the UK. These offer a long-term investment in a product that can often last for decades.

To ensure the safety of your mail, choosing to invest in stainless steel post boxes is a wise choice, and also one that can offer great aesthetics - often updating the appearance of a door.

At Mailbox Mania, we are retailers of quality stainless steel post boxes, and metal letter boxes, which provide the durability, pleasing aesthetics and competitive pricing that makes our quality post boxes very popular - with thousands of people across the UK - when they need guaranteed durability, for decades of service.

Stainless steel post boxes are unequalled for their durability and pleasing aesthetics and, when they provide guaranteed security via a locking system, it brings about total peace of mind. Not only this, but stainless steel post boxes will always look bright and clean, much as they did when they were first purchased, will never rust or become worn or dirty such as weaker materials are prone to do.

Purchasing stainless steel post boxes and high quality metal letter boxes actually means it is one of the best investments a person can make for their property or business, and the likelihood is that they may never need to purchase new letter boxes or post boxes again unless they move properties. Of course, you can always take your post box with you!

Should the letter boxes or post boxes being sought be required for a commercial building, those purchasing for business use have been opting for the reliability afforded by the highest quality stainless steel post boxes.

The typical material used for letter boxes and post boxes, which were more prevalent in yesteryear, was plastic and throughout the decades, and indeed up until recently, plastic was the favourable material to use.

We at Mailbox Mania aim to do everything possible to provide the perfect answer to any independent person or business that requires secure and quality stainless steel letter boxes that come with a quality and durability guarantee, as well as being available for the most competitive prices on the market today.

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.

When you are picking out your post boxes you need to make sure that you have post boxes that are strong and reliable. This is where stainless steel post boxes come in useful as they are weatherproof.

When you have your mail delivered, you more than likely have it delivered through your letterbox. Unfortunately, not everyone has letter boxes that are accessible, so you need to make sure that all of your mail is kept safe and secure as you do not want to lose any of those important letters or packages.

Stainless steel post boxes would work well, as they are strong and reliable and they can be attached to either a wall, a gate or a fence that you have outside the property. These work well, especially if you have restricted access to your letter boxes, as they have a lock on so that only those with a key can get to the post in the post boxes.

If you have a shared address and you have unprotected letter boxes, which all of  the post comes through, investing in a number of stainless steel post boxes and attaching them together, so that each individual address has its own letterbox is ideal.  The stainless steel post boxes come in handy as stainless steel is such a strong, reliable metal for the post boxes that they will last for years. The stainless steel post boxes will withstand all weather conditions, be it extreme heat, cold or damp conditions.

Here at Mailbox Mania there are a wide range of post boxes to suit your needs, and there are also a variety of stainless steel post boxes that come in a range of sizes to accommodate your post.

There are also patterns that can be embossed on some of the metals so that it gives you more decorative, personal post boxes.

The metal post boxes come in a range of prices to suit a variety of budgets. They also come in a variety of sizes as each individual customer has different requirements; based on a different quantity of post delivered daily and also a difference in the letters and the parcels that they receive.

If your access to your letter box is restricted or if you do not have a letter box, then you need to invest in a solution to make sure that you can receive your post. Some people have a gate or fence and do not want the person delivering the post to gain access to their property, so there are post boxes that can be attached to the wall, a gate or a fence so that access is not necessary and your post can still be delivered with ease.

There are post boxes in a range of sizes to suit your needs; if you have parcels delivered regularly then you need to make sure that the post boxes that you have are big enough to fit the parcels. Post boxes are also made in a range of materials and in a range of colours so you can have a colour that coordinates with your home or fencing, to really make it feel part of your home.

The postage recieving system that each person has is related to them as individuals. We understand this at Mailbox Mania and therefore strive to offer a mailbox or post box to suit anyone and everyone.

When it comes to metal post boxes, the strongest and most reliable metal is stainless steel as it is made for the highest grade and quality that there is available. Stainless steel post boxes work really well as they are capable of withstanding all weather conditions, be it the rain, damp conditions or the extreme heat in direct sunlight on the front of your building. This means there will be no rust or corrosion on your post boxes, so they will last for years and years and look as good as the day that you purchased them.

Stainless steel post boxes come in a great silver colour, but they’re also available in either a matt or shiny finish to suit you. As stainless steel is so versatile the post boxes can have some embossed designs on, too, to give your post boxes that extra detailed design and personalisation.

Also, stainless steel post boxes come in a range of shapes and sizes to suit your needs and they have large doors so you can gain easy access to your mail.

These post boxes use a cylinder lock, with two keys provided.
