Letter boxes for your residential address - February 10, 2010

If you live in a shared residential address you are at risk of a large number of people living in your building may have access to your post, this means that you may not be receiving all of your mail, which could be a great concern. So making sure that each individual address in your building has separate residential mailboxes is a way to make sure that you mail remains safe.

Having residential mailboxes guarantees that the post is only accessed by the name on the envelope and you are guaranteed security as the mailboxes all have locks on so that the key holder can only access it. Here at Mailbox Mania there are a range of residential mailboxes available and you need to make sure that you opt for a unit that is suitable for your building.

If you have a lobby then the mailboxes can be attached to the wall of the lobby. Each of the individual mailboxes are attached together and then attached to the wall and labelled for each individual address. It is then down to the postman to post the mail into the correct residential mailbox. These can also be attached to a wall on the outside of the building as well if you do not have a reception that can be accessed with ease.

There are also residential mailboxes that can be put through a wall so the mail is posted through the outside of the building and collected from the inside, but it depends on the residential situation.

Residential mailboxes for a flat - December 23, 2009

Living in a residential address means that you need to ensure that you have residential mailboxes, for the simple reason that this is the best method of keeping your personal post safe and secure.

There is such a wide range of residential mailboxes available on the market today that you need to make sure that you have the chosen right one to accommodate your residential needs - as well as the rest of the building’s.

No matter what sort of residential property you live in, here at Mailbox Mania we have mailboxes to suit your property. Living in a shared address such as a block of flats can have an easily resolved solution. There are multiple occupancy mailboxes, which involve having a number of mail boxes connected together so that each individual flat has a letter box in one central location.

These can be placed on the wall outside of the building, or if the postage delivery person can gain access to the reception of the building this is usually the ideal place to have it.  All of the mailboxes come predrilled and with all the fixings that you need so they are ready to install, no extra fuss.

Each individual mailbox has a cylinder lock so the resident to whom the mail box belongs is the only one to have access to it. These are a far better option than having all the post gathered in one large mailbox or, as often happens, scattered all across the back of the entrance door – leaving you open to identity fraud and lost mail.

So, in effort to avoid such a nuisance, contact Mailbox Mania and we will discuss how our extensive range of mailboxes can cater to your individual needs.

A mailbox to suit each home - June 3, 2009

Are residential mailboxes so different from the mailboxes used by businesses? The answer is yes and no. Yes, they are normally not as large as mailboxes found at a commerical place of work, because the sheer volume of mail going to business premises dictates very large boxes. Industrial mailboxes mostly need to be functional and ensure the security of the contents above all - sadly often above the aesthetics.

Residential mailboxes on the other hand can be whatever the person using them actually wants. When you can combine function and your own preferences and style - this means greater choice.

Residential mailboxes have endless variety in size, construction and in the manner of mounting the boxes. Many people prefer a simple mailbox that is a slot in the door or a slot through a wall. Others like their mailbox to form part of the decor of their home and many a Victorian house sports a beautiful solid brass wall-mounted mailbox.

Greater choice

The great thing about residential mailboxes is that sheer size and toughness is not the deciding factor only. Residential homes have more scope even when needing mailboxes for larger volumes.

If a simplistic door-slot letterbox is not suitable, they still have many options. Residential mailboxes can have extra size, or a special lockable one for parcel delivery. There are smart residential mailboxes with a special compartment for newspapers and magazines. People can choose between plastic, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

It really all depends on the volume of mail the box must hold and what the personal preferences of the home owner are. Small, large, ornate or plain; mailboxes are available for all needs and tastes.
