Our new red postbox looks fabulous on our wall in the College. We use it for the students to post suggestions and comments on their courses. It looks smart and eye catching.

We have used an old style font to label the box and it works well with the retro look of the box.

It certainly wasn't expensive and the quality feels more than adequate for the money spent. It feels sturdy and the lock feels secure. Two keys were included.

The box arrived quickly and in perfect condition and with all the bits need to fix it to the wall. We think it looks great and is quite an unusual feature.

A great product which looks good and does as required! We bought it for it's design - to fit on the rear of our front garden fence adjacent to the main gate - and it looks superb, as well as saving our postman the extra walk up to our front door! All we had to do was make an aperture in the fence for the post to pass through and we can now leave our new home fully secure if we are away and still get all of our post safely. Excellent value for money, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends.

Dissapointing. Will have to replace it as its really too small. The opening doesn't accept brochures or A4 letters. And the lock is starting to fail as he flimsy keys have started to bend!

The product is ideal for both home and small office use, we have ours mounted outside and is doing the job perfectly.

I have used the safe shop on a number of occasions and i would highly recommend them - the communication and speed of service is second to none.

The little post box seemed ok at first, but we have opened the back of the post box maybe around six times so far to retrieve our post and what is happening now is that the pin that holds the door in place and also acts as a hinge constantly falls out. This pin is difficult to put back in place and it means that the box insecure and it is not very easy to close. It seems that the post box is not of a very good quality, which is a shame because it looks quite attractive. unfortunately I would not recommend.

I couldn’t attach inside gate to make use of the rear box access as the screw holes didn’t line up with bars of gate.

Rain somehow does seep in so occasionally wet letters.

The weather has corroded the lock so always a fight to push the key in.

» Ask Question   

 
Can the postbox be free standing, or must it be fixed to something?
Mr. Alan Brown, Christchurch
I would personally advise that any post box should be securely installed. This particular model is designed to be fixed to a wall.

Can this be fitted to the inside of a door, so that it covers the letter plate / letterbox?
Anonymous
Yes the unit can be fitted to be lined up with an interior letter slot. However the letter slot is quite small and may prove difficult for A4 letters. I can recommend the A4 rear access post box if you do require a larger letter slot.

Standard Post Box Installation

We offer professional installation on our complete range of Post Boxes.

Our experienced engineer will complete a brief site inspection and then discuss their findings with you to agree positioning of your post box.

Your installation will include fixing the post box to an exterior wall using the fixings included with your post box. The fixings are designed for use with a solid surface such as brick or concrete.

The position of your post box will be governed by safe site access, and other obstructions such as submerged pipes or cables within the wall.

The engineer will carry out a final assessment to ensure the post box is secure before providing a brief demonstration of your post box and confirming the installation has been completed to your satisfaction.

Non-standard Installation

In some cases, it may be necessary to install additional materials or provide extra resources (manpower) to facilitate an installation in a safe manner.

If additional costs are likely these will be discussed with you prior to installation. Reasons for extra costs might include:

  • Specialised access equipment and permits such as hoists, lifts and cranes.
  • Outside of normal hours working (Mon-Fri, 9am to 5pm).
  • 4x4 Vehicular access requirements to remote rural sites.
  • Road closure including necessary permits.
  • Additional manpower to overcome technical, lifting or safety access issues.

We offer installation throughout the UK mainland, however some more remote and rural post codes in the Highlands are subject to a surcharge to cover additional fuel and traveling time costs.

The following areas will incur a rural travel surcharge:

£55.00 Surcharge Areas

  • PH 1 - 26 (No coverage in other PH postcodes)
  • PA 1 - 19 (No coverage in other PA postcodes)
  • KA 19, 26
  • ML 11, 12

£105.00 Surcharge Areas

  • IV 01-17, 30,31,32 (No coverage in other IV postcodes)
  • AB
  • DD
  • TD
  • DG
  • KW

These additional elements are deemed to fall outside the definition of a 'Standard Installation'. If you feel your installation might be non-standard please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

If applicable, additional costs are to be paid before installation begins.

Warranty Terms & Conditions

Our installer provides a standard 12 month warranty on all new installations and a 3 month warranty on all materials provided during maintenance visits.

Note: Existing system components and pre-supplied equipment are not included in the installation warranty as these elements are covered by the Manufacturer warranty.

We reserve the right to undertake an ‘Assessment Call’ without prejudice to investigate any complaints relating to materials failure or poor workmanship to assess if the complaint is valid. Please note that remedial service calls generated by elements outside of our sphere of influence or due to different fault conditions will be chargeable to you at an agreed call out charge.

In scenarios where you request a post installation service call and our assessment identifies the fault condition or cause of the fault falls outside of the limitations of the standard installation warranty (Force Majeure, different fault etc) a call out charge will be incurred for the visit.

Assessment calls raised for reasons outside our sphere of influence or responsibility and not covered by the standard installation will incur a call out charge for labour and additional materials.

The following are examples of when a call out charge would be incurred:

  • Accidental Damage
  • Malicious Damage
  • Materials or Manufacturer Failure
  • System Modification
  • Incorrect User Diagnosis
  • Broadband Related
  • App Related
  • User Error
