Imagine a world without letter boxes, with nowhere to safely and securely store your personal mail, it’s not a common concern amongst the general population, because like many everyday objects, the letter box is very often overlooked, and under valued. The letter box is something that we all take for granted, but we would struggle to live without.

But fear not, it is highly unlikely that the letter box will ever become extinct, but that is largely because it is a much needed and crucial communication tool; it maybe under appreciated but a letter box is a portal to a private and safe place for all your documents, letters, cards and bills (which you might be less inclined to feel the need to keep safe!) but let’s face it, there really are very few people who could live without their own secure letter box and the peace of mind that it provides.

So that is precisely why here at Mailbox Mania, we can help you to find exactly the right kind of letter box that will suit your everyday needs; we worry about the business of letter boxes, so that you don’t have to.

Whether you are a business that is looking to secure the mail you receive to your business address, perhaps with a lockable letter box that ensures your personal business post is kept safe and secure, accessible only to key holders, or maybe you need an extra large capacity letter box that is capable of receiving larger quantities of mail, or even if you are a homeowner who is just looking for a particular type of letter box, perhaps one that is unique, or durable and secure, one that you can trust to house your personal post, then Mailbox Mania is here to help you to find the right letter box solution that will meet your individual needs.

With a vast range of letter boxes available to choose from, and including a variety of shapes and sizes, made from a number of different materials, such as high grade plastic, steel and stainless steel or even cast aluminium letter boxes, as well as newspaper holders, or multi-occupancy and through the wall letter boxes, all available to choose from our range, with Mailbox Mania you can be sure that you will find the right kind of letter box to suit you, from a number of different options that are available now to order online.

Despite the growth of using email and other electronic communications for correspondence, letter boxes still have a place in society. Security and convenience are just two advantages of continuing what has become known as the “snail mail” service with a letter box to receive incoming mail.

Businesses and private users want to ensure that documents delivered to their premises is safe and that thieves cannot access the letter box to retrieve the mail. There is a growth in identity theft and determined criminals can access private information from unlocked letter boxes and use the information to commit fraudulent activities. Whether you are a business or an individual, the security of your mail at risk if you do not have a lockable mail box, and even then, thieves can break into them. Users in apartment and office blocks are potentially at the greatest risk as the letter boxes are often located in the lobby of the building where there are times when people are not around. People are starting to take theft of mail from the mail box very seriously, as the threat grows and criminals find new ways to steal what is rightfully yours. It is not feasible or cost effective to have every letter sent by registered or recorded delivery so that it requires a signature and therefore the correspondence is not put into the letter box but handed to the addressee. By selecting a lockable letterbox with only selected people having the key, you have taken the first step to ensuring that your mail is safe and secure. Some letter boxes have two compartments, so that the mail is dropped into the first compartment, which then slips through into the second sealed compartment underneath which can only be opened with a key. If you are looking for a locking letter box, do not only consider the price, but also whether it is truly tamperproof, even with the use of a screwdriver.

Letter boxes are convenient as the postman can deliver the mail at any time of day or night and you do not have to be at home to receive it. In the business situation, multi occupancy letter boxes are convenient for the postman so that he does not have to spend time delivering mail to individual offices, which saves time. Large capacity letter boxes and newspaper boxes may be more suitable for organisations, whether they are home working businesses or larger companies.

Whether you receive correspondence for your company or as an individual, you will need to consider both the convenience of receiving mail through the letter box and the security aspects. Offsetting convenience against security need not be an “either or” situation, but considering the style of letter box you have will be a big factor, as will the individual circumstances of the location of your premises, whether it is an office or apartment block with a multi occupancy style letter box. In the latter circumstances, if you are really worried about theft of your mail, you can collect it from the post office yourself, or ask the postman to ring the bell of your apartment or office when he has deposited the mail in the letter box so that you can retrieve it immediately.

In an ideal world, your home or business would never be subject to criminal attacks. However, unfortunately we do not occupy such a world and there is always a risk that your property will be targeted by those intent on causing damage.

Thankfully, there are a number of security measures you can take these days in order to reduce the risk of such incidents occurring. For example, you can invest in CCTV to act as a deterrent, and to help catch individuals who trespass on your premises.

Also, you can fit high strength locks and security alarms to scare intruders off and to alert the attention of others.

Meanwhile, you can also purchase special mailboxes that are designed to extinguish fires. Here at Mailbox Mania, we offer such products. Our anti-arson postboxes can fit over the inside of your letterbox to form a cover.

The items have unique heat sensitive fire extinguishers built into them, meaning they will eliminate any fire within seconds, preventing it from spreading around your building.

By investing in mailboxes that have this additional feature, you can achieve greater peace of mind. As well as helping to protect your property, you can also reduce the risk of harm coming to your fellow householders or employees.

If you have a dog or cat that’s just a little bit too friendly with the postman—or perhaps unfriendly—and you want to teach them not to bother him or other strangers when they come to your door, here are some tips to help you keep your pet from bothering the postman.

First, if you let your pet outside during the day and he or she is out when the postman comes to the postboxes, warn your postman that you have pets. If you see your postman you can tell him, but if you don’t, you can put up a “beware of dog” sign or some other sign indicating that you have pets. Warning the postman in advance may help a lot because the pet won’t surprise them when he’s putting post in the postboxes.

Next, teach your dog or cat not to bother strangers with loud noises, clawing, biting, etc. You can use books or the internet to find ways of training your pet, or you could take your pet to an obedience class.

If you keep your pet inside but they bother the postman by barking loudly, or perhaps sticking their paws through letterboxes or post slots in the door, you can get letterboxes with slits that open on the outside, or you can get some kind of an insert that will keep your pet from being able to stick its paws through.

The best prevention is to train your pet. And there is no excuse for a misbehaving pet when there are so many resources out there on how to train your animal to be nice and friendly.

Postboxes don’t last forever, but if you take good care of yours, it should last for many, many years. Here are some tips to help you maintain and take care of your postbox so that you may never have to buy a new one.

First, when buying a new one, choose something weather proof and sturdy such as stainless steel. Plastic is good too, especially if it’s heavy duty.

Next, keep your bostbox mounted in a place where it will not easily be knocked, bumped into, or even smashed by a car backing up, or vandalized by someone. If you have a gate, it’s a good idea to keep the postbox inside the gate, although this may make it more difficult for the postman to deliver your post.

Although you may not think of it, postboxes should be cleaned now and then to ensure that they stay in good shape. Over time, dust, spider webs, and dirty can accumulate in your box. You may want to clean it out once a year just to make sure it’s not getting rusty and dirty. After all, you want your post to arrive to you clean and in good condition.

Finally, ensure that if your box is in bad shape or has some damage to it that you replace it as soon as you notice. It always looks better to have a good new box than one in poor condition. And your neighbours will appreciate that your box looks good and makes the neighbourhood a cleaner, tidier place.

If you love crafting and decorating, you’re probably always looking for new ideas. Here’s an idea for a small cupboard or shelf that you can make from a postbox. Decorate it any way you like, and it won’t take you long to come up with some beautiful ideas.

First, find some old postboxes, or buy some new ones. You can get used ones from flats, schools, or other buildings that are remodelling or need to buy new ones and will otherwise just throw the old ones away. You can ask your friends and family to watch out for old ones too, but if you can’t find any, buy a new one from a company like Mailbox Mania.

Now come up with some ideas for decorating your postbox cupboard or shelf. You could decoupage, paint, or eve glue little beads and buttons on it. You could decorate the inside like a little dollhouse and put some ornaments and miniatures inside.

Decide whether you want to keep the door on the box or not. If you decide to remove the door, you can use your postboxes as little shelves to hang on the wall. If you leave the door on, you can make a little cupboard that you could keep on a table or your kitchen counter. You could store tea or biscuits inside.

Decorate your shelf, and when you’re happy with how it looks, let any paint or glue dry before you put things inside or hang it on a wall.

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!)
