When this arrived it was not well packaged and I was concerned that it might be damaged given the state of the box. This was not the case and the box had arrived safely. On first inspection It did not seem as robust as I had imagined (given the price of the thing) but now installed, I am happy with it. Installation was simple and it seems secure. I used to fish letters out from the old post box when I'd forgotten the key but there is no way I can do that with this one.

In the recent heavy rain, it has proved to be completely waterproof. It takes most normal size parcels and the postman likes it.

The reason for the 3* for build quality is that when you open the box to retrieve post and parcels you need to hold on to the door as there is no restrictor to stop the thing falling right away from you which could potentially damage the box. A small thing that does not take away from my overall satisfaction with the box.

I would recommend this and may well buy another when we move next year.

The parcel box was delivered very quickly and easy to install. The reason for the box was to protect letters and parcels from the weather (rain) as we were forever getting wet letters and parcels that were stuffed into the old box, even though it was supposed to be water proof. I can definitely say without doubt that to date I have not had one wet letter or parcel and we've had lots of wet weather and a bit of snow in the North Pennines of late. The build quality is good apart from the lock which is a bit suspect as the key sometimes will not full engage until I pull it out and try again. A better quality lock would only hence the box. It's too early to comment on the long term durability of the paint finish, but it seems ok for now.

I purchased this letter box as I was going to be away a lot and needed to secure my post as well as having an increased capacity. It arrived on time, and was easy to put up. 2 problems, firstly one of the opening arms was not properly welded. I would have sent it back, but it had been a couple of months since I ordered it, to putting it up. The other problem is for the size and weight it doesn't fit that securely to the wall. It fell off after my daughter leaned on it! So I would not recommend this product.

We have a security gate and a post box outside. We are frequently away for a week at a time and standard boxes were insufficient to hold that much post. Getting post held by the post office was inconvenient and expensive. We were unsuccessful in finding a really large and secure post box until we discovered the G2 which easily holds two weeks' post even including a few packages and is very secure as you cannot reach post through the posting tray once it has dropped into the locked box. Excellent design, great capacity and strongly engineered so highly recommended. And an equally good service from the Safe Shop.

We needed a post box that was able to take both letters and parcels for newly installed iron gates on our driveway. After reading the reviews on the website, we thought this was the ideal product. What we didn't realise was this was not meant for mounting on a gate, it's actually only suppose to be wall mounted. So when we mounted it on the gates, it leaked straight away in the first rain fall. My husband put a bit of silicone on the gap at the back which has fixed it and works a treat! Overall, we are pleased with the postbox and it is now weather proof following the minor modification!

Really pleased with the parcel box, nice and sturdy, our packages and post are kept dry which is exactly what we wanted. Just be careful when opening as it doesn't have a latch so will swing open and your packages might fall out!

This is an excellent parcel safe and is definitely value for money.

There is one minor issue which has stopped me from giving it five stars in every category.

The self adhesive label provided for proof of delivery information is very thin plastic which is affected by changes in the weather. It has faded after a few months to become illegible.

Otherwise an excellent quality product.

Can you tell me how the anti theft mechanism works please.?
Judith, Delph
The Anti-Fishing mechanism is pivoted by the lid, when the lid is lifted open there is a baffle which is lifted towards the opening to prevent the mail being lifted out by hands or any implements. When the lid is closed the security baffle will draw back, allowing the parcel to drop into the box.

As the deposit aperture is 210x360x100mm, does that mean that a standard C4 size envelope (229mm x 324mm) can't be deposited in it?
Anonymous
The deposit aperture is wide enough for a c4 envelope however its not deep enough by 2 cm. However once the envelope is sat in the box at an angle it will fit in fine.

What is the size when the aperture is fully extended. I would like to fit under a window sill and need to know full dimension.

When the lid is extended the dimension from the bottom of the post box to the highest point is 675mm.

Hi, I'm looking to fix this to the back side of our solid wooden gate into which our letter plate is being installed. The letter plate has an opening of 350mm x 80mm - my question is this. Can this product be adapted so that post/parcels can be posted into/through the back wall of the box. I am happy to have a slot cut out if necessary, as I am having difficulty finding such a sized box which otherwise looks an excellent fit for what I'm looking for. Thanks, Mike
Mike Hallam, Nottingham
This unit has a top loading slot which is controlled by a mechanism inside which drops to the back of the box when the lid is in use. Customising the unit will affect the mechanism and void the warranty.

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
