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.

The kind of post we receive on a regular basis has changed in recent years. Email and texting has become increasingly popular; therefore personal letter writing has tailed off. One recent survey revealed that one in ten 7-to-14 year olds have never written a personal letter.

At the same time we are taking advantage of e-commerce, making plentiful use of internet retail and auction sites.

Meanwhile our newspapers seem to be getting bigger, especially at the weekends, as the events of a busy world vie for our attention.

If you have your newspapers delivered then you will be no stranger to the problem of how the postman will struggle to get a pile of supplements through your front-door letterbox. It may be that, by agreement with your newsagent, your newspapers are left on the front porch, which is not the best solution as they are then prone to the elements as well as theft.

If you regularly make use of e-commerce, then you may be getting tired of that “whilst you were out” card from the postman that arrives to inform you that your package was the wrong size for your letter box.

Here at Mailbox Mania we offer you the ideal alternative to the front-door letter box: an externally installed post box. This could be a high capacity mailbox giving the postman plenty of room for large packages. We also offer post boxes combined with newspaper holders, which will instantly solve that pesky newspaper problem.

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 someone mentions post boxes to you, especially if you’ve grown up in the UK, you’ll most likely think of the traditional red letter boxes, used for posting letters, which are such a familiar part of our landscape.

The first of this type of pillar post box was erected in Jersey in 1852, and the novelist Anthony Trollope, working for the Post Office at the time, was a driving force behind what started as a trial.

It was a whole century, however, before the standardised EIIR pillar box, which we know and love today, first appeared on UK streets in 1952.

There is however, another type of post box, which is more usually associated with properties in the USA: this is the residential or business “mail box”, which is either standalone, or attached to the fencing around a property. These post boxes are used by the postman to drop off your mail on their rounds, are now increasingly common in the UK and Europe.

This type of post box is, for many consumers, a viable and attractive alternative to the traditional front-door letter boxes, which can cause problems; they sometimes have a spring mechanism which could trouble the postman, especially in combination with an unfriendly dog.

Here at Mailbox Mania, a friendly family business, we offer a wide variety of alternatives to the traditional front-door letter box. Whatever your needs, from freestanding stainless steel post boxes, to wall-mounted letter boxes for an apartment block, we are here to help.

If you’ve decided to purchase a residential post box, to be situated outside your house, you may well want to combine the practicalities with good looks.

If post boxes fit in with the look of your house, and your street as a whole, then this very much increases their appeal. It’s likely you will want your brand new post box to be attractive as well as secure, weather proof and durable.

One way you can achieve this is to make a stylistic acknowledgement of our friends “across the pond” in the USA, where residential post boxes are the norm. Here at Mailbox Mania we offer elegant, practical, and eye-catching US style post boxes, in either metal or aluminium. You could either go for a sleek glossy black colouring, or a more neutral matt white.

Alternatively, you could invest in a residential post box with a more “olde worlde” look by acquiring a cast aluminium post box. At Mailbox Mania we can offer you a beautiful “Imperial” style post box, complete with heraldic engraving on the front to give your post box a real gravitas in the neighbourhood.

However, if you’d like your post box to be a little more understated yet still elegant, you could consider one of our brushed silver aluminium post boxes.

Finally, remember it’s the little touches that can count: a workmanlike post box, such as our Large Capacity Newspaper Post Box, can be given a touch of style with an attractive gold address plate on the front.

If you’re considering buying a post box to be sited outside your residential or business property, you should think about a stainless steel model.

First and foremost stainless steel is a robust, versatile alloy, which in combination with a high quality lock, will give your precious mail invaluable protection against intrusion and theft.

Stainless steel post boxes are also both fire resistant and weatherproof, in particular being fully rainproof. Furthermore stainless steel post boxes are impervious to extreme cold and snow, as experienced last winter in the UK.

These post boxes are also rust proof, and therefore highly durable. They will continue looking great for years after your purchase, with no creaky doors, or catches in locks to worry about. Stainless steel post boxes are easy to clean and so require minimal fuss; they are incredibly low- maintenance.

One of the considerations when buying a post box is combining a pleasing, professional appearance to visitors, security and weather resistance, with sufficient room in the post box for large size packages and newspapers. Here at Mailbox Mania we offer a wide range of stainless steel post boxes with newspaper holders; this way you won’t be compromising on space and are still getting a quality stainless steel product.

Finally, stainless steel has the potential to be environmentally friendly, being 100% recyclable. Indeed some stainless steel post boxes are now made out of 40% recycled material.

Stainless steel post boxes are proof positive that post boxes have come a long way since they were first installed in the 1700s.

Letter boxes may be the last thing on your mind when setting up a small business from home. However, it pays to give some thought to how you’d like to receive your daily dose of mail.

Residential businesses can benefit greatly from a post box sited outside the house, but still on the owner’s land, most likely in the front garden.

Modern post boxes now come as fully lockable, so by having a separately sited, secure mailbox you will gain in security both from material and identity theft, should your house suffer a burglary.

In the unfortunate case of fire damage, then again by having a separately located mailbox gives you an initial level of protection that you can boost further by investing in an anti-arson mailbox.

What’s more, with a sturdy, easy accessible mailbox you make an instant friend of your postman. The postman is saved a walk up the garden path, saved grappling with a potentially more old-fashioned front door letterbox and in particular from having to squeeze bulky items through.

This brings us to another huge advantage of the standalone post box: a choice of wider and taller slots, making receipt of parcels and packages instantly easier. If you go for a large capacity post box you can even have one that has a separate slot just for newspapers.

Here at Mailbox Mania we provide a huge variety of post boxes to suit all your needs, be they business or residential.
