The post box arrived quickly and very well packed, avoiding damage in transport. I was delighted to find it had such a substantial opening for letters and small packet. It also takes a large amount of post which is just what I needed, for when we are on holiday.
The only thing I have to do so far, is educate the postman to put magazines and news papers in the special compartment for them. The post box has now been outside, in most weathers and to date has not shown any deteriation in its appearance. It is so nice to find a quality product.
The only problem I have with the post box is that the people that deliver the 'Free Newspaper ' don't realise that it has a section for this and insist in putting them in the post section.
I have had to put a note on the box to get them to use the correct slot and not block up the post.
We changed our front door and wanted to do away with the drafty letter box. Forgot to order something as an alternative for our postman to deliver our letters. Went on the 'net' and found the Safe Shop. We chose the box with the paper receptacle underneath which although we don't have a newspaper delivered we do receive magazines in the post and it can be used for other packages, ( we've even had egg boxes put in there from the local farm ). So gone are most of the days of missed deliveries.
We can also open the front door without having to push the post out of the way.
Brilliant product that is perfect for us and looks good.
Pros: Looks very good and delivery excellent (I was kept informed via email when it was delayed by 24 hours). Postman seems to like it! Cons: Even though I ordered it a few months ago, it has only just gone up so have only been using it for a week. Am finding the lock a little tricky to unlock.....
Pros: This Burg Wachter Post Box looks great and ther is plenty of space for the mail. The section at the bottom of the post box for newpapers is good too -newpapers fit in really well including the sunday papers. We've had lots of rain recently and the newpapers have stayed dry Cons: The internal light is really dim
We ordered a secure post box on the advice of the local Police forceas I am a public figure and our previous front door contained a mail flap. There was a danger that a malicious event could result in something awful being put through out post flap. We changed the front door to one that is solid and therefore needed a post box that could securely receive out post and that was large enough to take A4 packages and letters. The Steel Post Box with a facility to take rolled up newspapers is effective, safe, attractive and perfect for our needs.
Love it - it's modern, sleek and stylish and looks far better than the twee one that was there before. It was easily fixed to the wall (my husband told me) and it does the job. I've yet to find a postie who understands there is a magazine slot underneath but this is a minor detail. Very please with it. Had it only a few months so cannot say how it will stand up to the test of time but so far so good.
