We had purchased a cheaper version which proved to be a big mistake.This box is watertight . It is a solid construction and an excellent outdoor paint finish. Most sizes of mail fit the opening. Also it is a deep and has a roomy storage for the mail. The chances of anything hanging out of the box is rare. Ideal when one is away from home for a week. Easy installation and duplicate keys can be purchased easily when you quote its code number. Wished we had bought the Brabantia in the first place it would have saved us moneyThey are really the Post Box People . They give you a varied selection to choose from. Many Thanks

It has delivered in terms of capacity, weatherproofness and appearance. My one criticism is the wall fixing design which is a 2 person job and would be easier if 3 or 4 bolts could be first screwed into the wall (preferably using a template provided for accurate location) enabling the box to be slid onto these. The bolts would take the weight of the box whilst the nuts were attached inside the box and tightened, enabling one person to fit it.

This product is great our previous mail box let in water everywhere. We purchased this mail box in December last year and it has stood up to the very wet winter we have just got through. We have had dry mail and parcels all through the bad weather it has certainly lived up to its promises. It is very sturdy but still looks nice on the wall, well made and very easy to install and use. If I needed one at home I would not think twice about ordering one of these. This product is the Quality I have come to expect from Brabantia and would strongly recommend it for work or home use and find that as always you get what you pay for

Good size if you regularly receive magazines and journals/papers via post. The packaging doubles as a template for drilling the mounting holes which was really helpful. Another nice feature is the inclusion of thick rubber washers which serve to hold the box away from the wall accounting for uneven surfaces.
Importantly it has accepted even some parcels we had not expected and more-over has kept the deliveries dry even in the recent heavy rains.
One odd thing was that the keys were delivered inside the locked box so we had a few minutes juggling to remove them via the letter opening!

Excellent purchase and a very smart post box. Great price and fits in well with our property without standing out too much.
Delivery was on time and the product well packed. No difficulties with ordering and extremely helpful staff.
Would definitely recommend Safe.co.uk.
Thank you.

Generally the product is excellent & it does the job very well. Service received also excellent. The only problem was the fixings. The screws weren't sufficiently long enough to hold by the time you go through the stand off rubber. Bought some new longer stainless screws. The slotted fixing holes would be far better positioned at the top rather than bottom which would avoid having to fix & locate screws through the letter box flap. Minor things but would make the fixing very much easier.

I was looking for a replacement post box to one that was 20+ years old and was very similar in style the Decayeux D560. The old one had begun to leak and soggy letters were becoming a common theme. Having found my old one was a Brabantia, I discovered that Decayeux were the original manufacturer of the one that i had purchased previously which led me to this model. I then looked around for reviews and prices and decided to use safe.co.uk and am pleased to say I am very happy that I did. Ordering was fast and easy, confirmation of order was immediate (a relief when you are ordering from a company for the first time), dispatch confirmation, tracking and email of the invoice was done fast and without prompt! Super service and would definitely use again. Overall, really pleased with the product, it fits in place of the old one, the pre-drilled holes were not quite in the right place for us and i was concerned that i would again receive soggy mail so blocked those up. Very happy with the size, we regularly receive larger letters and magazines and they go in the box no problem, great quality and looks very smart and hoping it will last as long as the old one! Thanks

This is a great product, lots of colours to choose from. It is a little on the expensive side as there are a large number of similar products on the market. However, we had the same one at our old house for over 10 years (different colour) and was still in great condition, so I knew the quality was great and could withstand any weather conditions requiring little if no maintenance. It was a little tricky to line up but the drill hole cut out that came with it helped massively. Size wise it fits large meters and small parcels without any problems. Great service from safe uk too.
