Running Your Business from Home? - July 21, 2011

Filed under: commercial letter boxes — Tags: , , , — admin @ 11:11 am

If you’re one of those “lucky” people who work from home (the jury’s still out on how beneficial it is to have a sofa and flatscreen TV tempting you daily from just a few doors away!), you’ll be familiar with the idea of boundaries between work and home life. As with all the elements of your business, making sure the right components and resources are readily available as and when you need them is essential.

Although we’ve cross-referenced our postbox collection to be accessed under both “Domestic” and “Commercial” headings, the home office tends to cover a little of both. So, what’s the best postbox for your home business hub?

Normal Use
For some, the home office mail needs only slightly elevate above that of the normal home. In such cases you can afford to scale back on the commercial search and look instead to secure domestic postboxes. These are designs like wall mounted lockable steel postboxes that store your mail inside until you’re ready to access it (so no pet accidents or child scribbles to worry about!) We stock lots of designs in a variety of colours.

High Capacity
Extra large domestic postboxes are ideal for the home businessperson who expects a high volume of mail. Some of our domestic large capacity designs go up to a massive forty-eight litres, and come in a great variety of colours.

If you’d like more information, please get in touch on 01943 463998 to chat things through with one of our advisors.

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.

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.

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.

How to Keep Your Pet from Bothering the Postman - February 13, 2011

Filed under: Maibox Articles — Tags: , , , — admin @ 3:20 pm

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.

Taking Care of Your Postbox - February 3, 2011

Filed under: Post Boxes — Tags: , , — admin @ 12:08 pm

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.

How To Make a Cupboard from a Postbox - January 20, 2011

Filed under: Post Boxes — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:15 am

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.
