This was the largest capacity we could find with build up of mail over an average 2wk holiday in mind. This was also the best value for money

Easily fixed to fence, gate or railings. Made of strong metal, weather proof. Perfect for our use by staff/members dropping literature/keys off outside working hours. Perhaps a little too fancy, but this is only a minor point.

It looks good in colour and is a stylish, attractive shape.
It functions as expected .
Unfortunately the materials used are of poor quality .
The corner of the door gets stuck every time I close it and have to push into place separately.
I have not had it long enough yet to know how weatherproof and rustproof it is.
i often see the postman struggling to get the mail in the opening and with today's junk mail it easily fills up.
A larger transparent window would be better to see a rough idea of the contents without having to open with the key.

The post box was delivered in a fast time with no problems. I looks sturdy in construction and is a lovely colour green, this matches the garden greenery well, so that it does not stand out as 'too noticable' to people passing. It opens easily with one of the two keys supplied and all of my post always fits into it, even A4 envelopes. As it is nice and deep, books, magazines and catalouges also fit in no bother and because it opens up fully everything can be removed without damage. It is exactly as was described on the website when I was researching postboxes. Many thanks for a clear website and a good product at a fair price.

Good product and does what it says. My only complaint is regarding the lockable door. I think that the locking mechanism and the door itself could be more robust.

The box looks good and is easy to hang on a wooden frame. Quite flimsy though and the letter box cover keeps falling off and have to put it back on after every posting. The opening for the letters could also be a bit wider and deeper as larger letters have to be squeezed in to the opening which results in the letter box cover coming off. The box will not hold a lot of letters especially if they are large and if you are on holiday for a week or two and get a lot of junk Mail there will not be the capacity to hold this. You can also fit your hand inside the box and take Mail out without using key to open the box.

The box has an adequately sized aperture to allow insertion of large A4 size items, although no small packets can be inserted -obviously to prevent the removal of items by putting a hand through it. Useful slot for our name. The box was simple to attach to our entrance gate and has survived some very stormy weather. It appears to be weatherproof in spite of all the wet weather recently. Plenty of room inside for several items to be stored should we be away for a few days. The construction is sturdy enough to withstand casual efforts to break into it. Overall very satisfactory purchase.

I was extremely pleased with the service.

I was sceptical before I received this post box as I did not think it would do exactly the description said it would . How wrong I was! It is made up of a very strong robust steel arrived very well boxed up . In case the window puts people off I have covered up the plastic see through window by taping black card board on the inside. This has more to do with my security issus than the design.
I had my post stopped for 10 days it all fitted in when it was delivered .Even thick booklets of A4 size are not a problem. The post has stayed dry and I have not heard the flap rattling ,even though it is under my living room window. Not having a post box in my new front door and buying this instead was the right decision. No letter box draft into my house and a stylish very well designed and constructed wall mounted postbox next to my front door. I. Couldn't be happier.

The classic black, steel, post box was delivered as promised. The instructions were in the box along side all the fixing screws and attachments. The post box was easy to install. The post box looks just like the image on the internet, so no unpleasant surprises . As we live by the sea, corrosion by salt would be a problem, however the box seems to standing up the weather really well. The box has a lock and this also is functioning well. It holds quite large letters and posted journals with no difficulty. I think that I would be able to confidently recommend this box to any other customer.

Excellent product! Looks good and fit for purpose. Our postman is very pleased with it too as he no longer has to risk nipped fingers from our noisy Jack Russell cross dog! We also have the bonus of receiving our mail intact, rather than chewed. The box will just about accommodate large letters and catalogues. To simplify attaching the box to the wall we made a template out of the cardboard box to ensure the screw holes were in the right place, although the instructions did not suggest this. The inclusion of a ready-made template would be a useful addition to this product.

Looks good, comes with two keys. Metal is quite thin. It would be fine for the majority of people but not so much for heavy handed men.
We mounted it to a metal sheet as we were putting on a gate post but this was difficult because it is not rectangle shape but narrower at the bottom (it does show this in the picture).

After my letterbox was damaged by Royal Mail I decided to seal it up & buy a wall mailbox. It's brilliant!! Not only looking smart it's a safe & secure way to receive mail etc. My brother-in-law kindly put it up for me & was very impressed with the quality of the box & how easy it was to install it. I've found it very easy to use & having a spare key is very handy too. I would certainly recommend this product whether your letterbox works or not. It looks really nice & I think it enhances the look of my house & I've had many enquiries about where I purchased it from so hopefully you'll have plenty of sales for this great product.

The post box is very well made. It looks lovely. I have had loads of comments from friends and neighbours. The postman has no trouble putting in mail. It is easy accessible to retrieve the mail. It is completely waterproof. It is foolproof regarding theft of mail as you cannot get your hand in the box. You cannot even take the post box off the wall as all the fixings are inside and you would need a key to open the post box first. The only thing I could say to improve this item is if you would supply longer wall fixings.

When our cottage was being refurbished after a flood, we replaced the front door with one without a letter box.Looking on the internet for a suitable external box we discovered your website and had no difficulty in finding just what we wanted. It was delivered very promptly and was easy to fit.The postman is delighted to be able to deliver our mail without damaging his fingers. Despite some very inclement weather since installing our new mail box, all the contents have remained snug and dry. So although the reason for needing an external box was not a pleasant one, in fact we are grateful to be the proud owners of one.

The post box arrived in good time, well packed, in a perfect condition. The item was exactly as described in the on-line information. The box was a wee bit difficult to install, but once up in place has remained stable and sturdy. The capacity of the box is actually quite big and although I was worried that you can fit you hand in through the front of the flap and reach in, you can't actually reach the bottom which is important for the purposes I am using this deposit post box for. It's also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye! Well done on supplying a really good quality and fairly priced product.

Very good and everyone used the box straight away.
The brightness and shape attracted their attraction and stopped our dog chewing our mail.
That is at least 5 cheques we did not have to get replacements for.
One inland revenue, one car tax refund,car sold,one insurance cancelled,
. The car was sold in December 2014.
At the same time my disability buggy was returned and a cheque for this was received. The last one was insurance for the buggy.
all cheques for the simple reason of them hanging onto the money longer.Imagine if our
little terrier had chewed them up and we had to start again.

It's big enough to take A4 envelopes and magazines. It seems reasonably robust - but we have it on a sheltered wall. It means I don't have to lock our dog away in case post is delivered and I know it will be intact.
Not every deliverer realises it will take A4 or magazines, so although it does, it could do with being a wee bit bigger, but not so much that it would ruin the look.

Apart from finding a ding in the paint (corner front) where it looked as though the box had been damaged before being being sealed up in its plastic wrapper. There was no sign of damage to outer box and packing. And since no claim can be made after signing delivery chit, we just put up with it. We might get round to touching it up with some red paint...if only we could find the same red paint!!! Our Little Red Post Box does the job it was made to do.
The only frustrating think we found about this was the template for the fixing holes. It would have been better had the template been an actual OUTLINE of the postbox to make it easier to line it up on the wall, as you need to gauge where you actually want it to be when it's finally fixed.

I ordered the black classic post box for our daughter for Christmas, it was a late order but thanks to Safe.co.uk they delivered immediately. However, upon opening the package, it was apparent that the locking mechanism was faulty. I telephoned Safe.co.uk, who were extremely apologetic and was advised to send a photograph of the problem to them as soon as possible. Upon receipt of the photo, a replacement was sent on its way, still arriving in time for Christmas which was remarkable given the time of year. Plus, two days after receipt I received a follow up call to confirm that all was satisfactory. I have to say all in all a brilliant service all round! We would definitely recommend this company to anyone!

I would thoroughly recommend this product. It arrived well packaged and in very good time from the date of order. It looks stylish and I was pleasantly surprised at how roomy it is. We get quite a few periodicals delivered and they fit inside without any problem. It was ready assembled so there were no complicated instructions to follow. Fixing to the wall was a fairly simple task, if you can use a drill and screwdriver it takes no more than 5 minutes to put up. It is also easy to keep clean, with just a wipe over with a clean dry cloth it looks as good as new. I much prefer not having a letter box cut into the front door and would buy another one of these if ever move house again.

Love this post box. Arrived on time and easy to fit to the balcony outside our bungalow. We have a glass front door without a letterbox. The post is safe as it is lockable and there is enough room to take A4 envelopes. I have a newspaper delivered each week which usually has flyers inside and it fits in the box perfectly and doesn't poke out. It is so smart and stylish and I should think the design would match any type of house or flat. Everybody comments on it and asks where I bought it as they want one also. Although I do not have pets, I would think it is a much better way of keeping post clean rather than a dog or cat getting it off the carpet from a normal letterbox and chewing it up. I am going on holiday soon and feel confident that my post will be safely locked inside.

Perhaps not the normal reason for the purchase of a 'letter box' but maybe the most interesting.
Having recently had a new patio constructed at home there was a requirement for electrical supply for garden equipment.
Previous attempts to utilize so called waterproof sockets had proven to be a major irritation in winter months in particular but whenever to rain was brought on a strong wind from the south-west, it managed to infiltrate the socket sets and cause the MCB to cut out. Firstly we put a plastic shelter above the boxes then wrapping the sockets in cling film and covering them with a plastic box was the way we developed a waterproof socket. As you can understand very inconvenient when wanting to use the source.
Now by incorporating a steel square section tube attaching a back plate to it and then the Letterbox to that we have been able to install a double gang socket set within and what a difference.
Totally waterproof.
The post has been spray painted and a fairy in a tree among other simulated flowers, painted on it, it has become a real point of interest.
The real advantage is that we have a 'locked away' source of power in the garden which looks a treat.
Looking forward to a long hot spell so I can use a fan to regulate the temperature.
Thank you for providing the opportunity.

When the boxes came l was pleased to see they were very well packed, all four were to be fitted on the wall outside the estate gates, easy to install and secure. My only reservation was that I should have gone with the black boxes,as the the red looks quite loud with four of them together.but however looking at them with the new signage in place, I am pleased with the result.
Many complimentary remarks about the front of the estate have been made, so after all it can't be that bad.Thank you for the service. Regards

Good, well built, it is to be used in the school as two suggestion boxes and will be pinned on the wall, so the children and staff (if they want) can put in any ideas that will improve the school or any complaints that they think can be changed by the school, or things they do not like about the school, or things they do like about the school. The green box is for posting positives and the red box is for posting negatives, so far the post boxes have done what they are supposed to as everyone is aware that posting can be anonymous.

I bought this a few months ago, to replace a modern looking post box that had rusted and was becoming hard to open with the key . This one hasn't rusted and is large enough to hold a weeks worth of mail including some larger envelopes. However it is still proving difficult to open with the keys I may need some WD 40 . Rain does get in when windy but not too bad. Build quality is fair and is a bit tinny , but wasn't expensive, so you get what you pay for. Overall, I would recommend spending a bit more to get a more rebust one if you can affor to.

It was and is very difficult to screw to the wall. There is no room to get the lid open far enough to drill through and get hands in to screw to the wall. it is that bad we have put it back in the box. I wouldn't recommend this model to any one. This I am usually good at if I have bought something I like and think is good and worth its money I pass on to my family and friend and most of them follow as I have a good eye for value for money and a good product. I would have sent it back but couldn't be bothered and the deadline was too late for it to be returned.

This looks attractive and is exactly what we wanted for the outside wall of our house. It seems to be weather proof but it hasn't gone through the winter yet. We shall see. The lock mechanism is smooth and the keys turn easily. Whilst it doesn't have a huge capacity, it's enough for daily deliveries, although magazines sometimes do not fit in very well. I wouldn't want to leave emptying it more than a couple of days at the most. It was easy to fix on the wall and came with good instructions. Delivery was prompt and very efficient. Thank you.

All in all a good product for collecting post on a daily basis.
The only thing against this product is that it is not very security conscious!
I am able to easily put my hand in through the flap of the letterbox without unlocking it in order to collect my post. This does not apply to large bulky post.
In view of this I am now considering purchasing a larger letterbox for when I go away and hopefully this will be more secure.
Due to the fact that The Safe Shop delivered their product as promised I shall be shopping with them again.

The product appeared fine and as it has only been in use recently it is too soon to tell how it stands up to the weather we get here in the North of Scotland. The product itself looks good and is of a nice colour and shape. It is also an ideal size for us as we intend to use it outside the local community hall. It is very easy to open and close the mailbox to retrieve the mail. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for a stylish product that looks good in colour and the shape.

I needed a replacement for the steel box I purchased from yourselves in Frbruary as the classic White STE.MB01 did not take Newspapers delivered to our door.
I contacted your company by phone and asked for advice and mesturements so that newspaper would fit in the box. The genteleman I spoke to was very helpful and suggested I look at the Woerthersee White Box on line - which I duly did and ordered it over the telephone.
I was given 20% off as I had purchased the classic white from yourselves which wass greatly appreciated.
All in all It was a very professional service from polite and knowledgeable staff. It is perfect for the newspaper deliveries.

Somewhat flimsy, so that the opening flap bent making it more difficult to lock closed again, but not a serious problem.

The post box looks great and holds the daily post with ease (it would not cope with more than a couple of days if you were away). It seems strong enough. A minor point might be that it sometimes sticks when we push it shut making it hard to turn the key but it works fun - might be my technique for closing it! It has stopped the dog chewing the post when it arrives so that's the main thing! Definitely recommend.

from start to finish the process was easy and fully met my expectations the delivery arrived when the emails sent stated and the item was in brand new undamaged conditions better then I'd expected the finish was high gloss and fitted over the old post box exactly the difference between mark 1 and mark 2 where ease of use and should I say it! A bigger flap. which may or may not be a good thing as smaller hand will now fit through it. unlike the old version. does not appear to have rusted since it been hung on the wall and must say it enhances the look of the front of garage as I also have an authentic metal sign above it. So thank you for the quickness of this item as now I have a secure (as much as possible) place for the postman to deliver all the nuisance post. well done the Safe Shop

Bought this product as previous box was too narrow. Box arrived quickly, had a bit of a problem fixing it to gate pillar as it is made of sandstone. Had lots of advice from neighbours, none of us are engineers! Thought it through & created a wooden frame & fixed the box firmly - job done.
It is a good size & as we've given a spare key to the postman he can now fit in all our Ebay small parcels without having to chance being jumped on by our large lurcher pup.
It has proved to be water tight in extremes of weather.
We purchased extra set of keys which has prooved very useful.

A smart looking post box which was easy to install and complements our cottage porch. Not sure about the weather resistance yet as we have not had any severe wind and rain in the "right" direction to test whether it will keep the mail dry. My husband has put some scrunched up chicken wire in the base of the unit to raise any post above the drain holes as we have our doubts whether they will be sufficient to carry water away quickly. Haven't noticed either whether the flap rattles enough to become annoying. On the whole a good buy.

The product is very poor quality and not waterproof which is not much use as it's for exterior use.

Cannot fault the product it is quite sturdy and does everything we ask for. Delivery was excellent. No sooner had we placed the order it was at our door. Very pleased with every part - from product to order being delivered.

This product was very simple to install and looks good on the white wall next to my front door. The only disadvantage could be that a small hand can be inserted so far so if the box gets full a letter could be removed. If you only have a small amount of mail and empty the box daily then that would not cause a problem.

Like it. Bright white and does not seem to discolour or rust. Metal is thin and lightweight - but good enough.

I bought this to put on the wall of the house because my dogs were ripping up most things that came through the letterbox. This postbox was just right for the job. Easy for the postman to use and big enough for any magazines or catalogues, or even small parcels. Looks bright and cheerful too.

I think the red post box is very well made and very classy, I have fixed it to my mother in law's black metal gate.

Secure, weatherproof storage of mail where house letterbox is a distance from mail route.You can choose where to site it.
Rating could well be higher as I was only the sender.However the recipients said they were delighted with it as their listed building had no letterbox.

The first one which arrived was dented but was replaced with no problems.

This letter box was taken to switzerland as a present. It was happily received and admired by many. It was easily fixed to the outside of the chalet and looks really nice. It is manly to recievfe the keys once the chalet is closed to visitors.

Good looking product bought for use in my son's school for the parents to use for PTA events correspondence. Security feature very good and it is a light post box , excellent value for money.
Only thing I would say in the context for which it was purchased was, it would be good if it could have a bigger space for 'naming'. For us it would have been good to have Parents Association written somewhere on it, so that parents could easily identify what it was for and that it wasn't the normal school post box. the current name plate is too small for our purpose so the letterbox although looks nice doesn't stand out.

The post box provides the facilty we required to prevent our dog from getting to the mail brfore us when the postman pushed it through letter box.
We are disappointed with the quality of the paint applied to the box as within 2 months of fitting it to the outside wall alongside the front door the colour has faded badly from a vibrant bright red to a dull dusky pink.

It looks good. Its about the right size. The price was OK. Maybe longer screws should be provided to ensure a real good fix

Arrived on time and in good condition.
Looked good at first but after a couple of months it is no longer the lovely Sterling Classic red colour but a strange dark pink, the main reason I bought that letter box was for the deep red.

we actually use this product internally for primary aged EBD children so that they can relay messages to upper management. the product is ideal for this and strong enough to take some very rough treatment.
the actual opening is large enough for an adult to reach in and retrieve post.

Smart looking, easily identified as post box, not out of place in any location.
lets water in during very heavy rain so pick location well, paint colour fades in sunlight but can be restored with compound like T Cut.

Smart and stylish, attractive feature on outside wall. We receive quite a lot of journals and A4 size letters which quickly fill the available space. Flap often left open or ajar which allows rain (or snow!) in and post can get wet.

Very happy with my purchase that totally matches my new front door. We have had quite a lot of compliments and have been asked where we got it. It is definitely value for money and looks good on the wall beside our front door. I was also very pleased with how quickly it arrived, which was delivered earlier than was stated. I would most definitely go to Safe again if l needed any other item and would almost certainly recommend those who were interested in looking the company up on the internet to view the items that you have.

I purchased this post box during the summer and was initially very happy with the design and quality. It was easy to fix on the wall and I thought it was good value for money.
However, since the weather has deteriorated and we have had quite a bit of rain, I have had to change my mind. The post box leaks water in to it so every time it rains, my mail is all soaking wet! I have tried to figure out where the water is getting in but can't see where the gaps are. Consequently, I am looking to replace the post box with a better quality weatherproof version.
Very disappointing and a waste of money

This is a medium sized box with a good letter slot opening more than adequate for any letter.
The box is pressed steel and so is not so rigid as the much more expensive cast ones. This has not been a problem. it is too soon to comment on the robustness of the paint finish

The mail box was delivered pretty promptly and I must say, it is larger than I had anticipated but was glad as it stands out nicely outside my front door. Quite a quirky shape which is nice. Very easy to use and has a spare key. I would definitely recommend this.

Does exactly what it says! It's a good product for a reasonable price, robust enough to withstand the weather and it has a decent capacity for letters and small parcels. It was easy enough to attach to a brick wall outside the property.
