This postbox has been a great disappointment. The description and images on your website suggested that it would meet all my requirements and that it would be a step up from the shoddily manufactured postbox that I inherited with this flat. The price reflected these aspirations, at about twice the price of the box I inherited.

So what is wrong with it?

First, the fitting entailed a great deal of measuring and levelling: how much easier if there had been a paper template on the back of the enclosed documents.

Next, it gives little better access for the postman through the oblique letter-slot than its predecessor gave through the flat letter slot, so the postman still can't deliver packets as thick as a paperback book and has to call me to the door just as before.

This is the noisiest postbox I have ever heard. There is no damping for the lid and in the many winter gales the banging of the lid was a serious nuisance to my neighbours and me. A simple magnetic strip would help.

Finally and most serious, it is not watertight. Every time there is rain and wind my post gets wet and has to be dried out. It has a couple of drain holes, but it does not drain adequately and this means that my post is sitting in water.

We needed a safe and secure post box as we are a Charitable Care farm for people with learning disabilities based on a farm that has many business Units. The box fits perfectly to our gate and takes all sizes of envelopes. Just wish it would reject junk mail for me though!!!

It is secure and keeps the mail safe as no one can get their hand inside to pinch the post. The lid could do with being a bit heavier as when the wind blows hard the top does occaissionally lift up and the mail gets wet.

On the whole however the product meets our requirements an I would recommend it to others

First box delivered had broken lid and replacement took rather too long. However, when second box received it fulfilled all specified description. It has good capacity for large (A4) size packages and is of an 'adequate' construction point of view. The mounting is fairly easy to fix, in our case, to a stone wall (on the Church!). The keys are a 'bit fiddly' to get seated into the keyhole but this is only a minor irritation and we will soon get 'the hang of it'. Door opens sensibly to allow good access for removal of mail. Overall we are all satisfied with the purchase and will doubtless use your firm again.

It stops unauthorised opening . My only, very slight, criticism is that it is not that easy to unlock. But thank you

Hi, Once again it would be useful to know how far from the edge of this box are the pre-drilled holes. Many thanks

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

  • 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.

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
