Mail Boxes

Mail boxes are containers designed for receiving and storing mail, providing a secure and organised way for individuals and businesses to receive correspondence.

Here at Cromwell, we stock a choice range of mail boxes from national brands Helix and Phoenix Safe.

Types of mail boxes

• Wall-Mounted Mail boxes - Wall-mounted mail boxes are attached to the exterior walls of homes or buildings. They are commonly found in residential settings and can vary in size and design.

• Freestanding Mail boxes - Freestanding mail boxes, also known as post-mounted mail boxes, are standalone units typically installed near the entrance of a property or at the end of a driveway.

Considerations when choosing a mail box

• **Material** - Choose a mail box made from durable materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, or heavy-duty plastic. The material should be weather-resistant to withstand outdoor elements.

• **Size and Capacity** - Consider the size of the mail box based on the volume of mail you typically receive. Ensure it has enough capacity to accommodate various mail sizes, including packages and magazines.

• **Security Features** - If security is a concern, opt for a mail box with locking features to prevent unauthorised access. Check the quality of the locking mechanism and the overall tamper resistance of the mail box.

• **Weather Resistance** - Ensure that the mail box is designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and sunlight. Weather-resistant finishes can help prevent corrosion and fading.

By considering these factors, you can choose a mail box that not only meets your practical needs for receiving mail but also enhances the overall functionality and aesthetics of your property. Whether for residential or commercial use, selecting the right mail box ensures the security and convenience of your mail delivery and pickup.
