Easybox 400 Contemporary Wall Mounted Letter Box: Review

If you had asked me just over a month ago what I thought about the idea of a contemporary wall-mounted letter box, I probably would have shrugged.

I mean, in principle, a wall-mounted post box seems like a good idea, but practically? How does it lock? Who’s going to use it? Will it really be useful?

Well, less than a month on, I have the answer to those questions, both from myself and parcel delivery people.

You see, I was contacted by LetterBox4You, who, knowing of my health issues, suggested such a box would be useful. After all, it would mean no more rushing to the door. I could wait for Ash to collect and bring in any parcels.

After checking with my Dad, who would be the one to put it up, and my landlord, it was a resounding yes to trying out the Easybox 400 Wall Mounted Letter and Parcel Box.

Letterbox4you.

Letterbox4you was launched in 2012, when they sold their first letterbox on eBay.

Since then, Letterbox4you has grown and become a supplier of letterboxes across the UK, Ireland, Germany and even Australia, while also being the letterbox supplier for some big names.

They pride themselves on only offering quality wall-mounted letterboxes with contemporary designs and are they are fully focused on customer support.

Easybox 400 Wall Mounted Letter and Parcel Box.

The Easybox 400 Wall Mounted Letter and Parcel Box is such a simple solution to have around the home.

Honestly, I was so surprised at how simple to use it was. For some reason, I thought having a parcel box would mean anyone who used it would need a key. However, that is definitely not true.

While the top compartment of the box is kept locked and used as a normal letterbox, the bottom parcel box is then accessed separately, with the door left unlocked. All your parcel delivery people need to do is turn the lock, which cannot be reopened without a key.

You are helpfully supplied with 4 keys which open both of the box sections.

If you are wondering about size, the box has the following measurements: height: 300mm, width: 400mm and depth: 270mm. The top letterbox has a capacity of 11 litres and a letter slot size of 44mm x 355mm, which is fine for A4-sized letters. The size of the parcel box is: 360mm x 170mm x 240mm.

This contemporary wall-mounted mail box is made from thermal powder-coated steel with the letter flap in brushed effect anodised aluminium. It’s a really modern design which doesn’t look out of place at our house.

We have set up our parcel box on the porch wall, and it was easy to install. However, it can be put up either inside or out, due to its weatherproof coating.

The faceplate can be taken out and engraved with a number or name, which might be useful, for example, at a block of flats, or if your front door is close to someone else’s.

What Our Parcel People Have Said.

As a blogger, we have a lot of parcels coming in. However, my health often means I’m in bed when the delivery people come knocking.

Which both makes it hard on them, waiting for me to get up, and hard on me.

That said, a number of delivery people have spoken to me about the parcel box, due to either needing a signature or having parcels too large.

All of those I have spoken to have been impressed with it. Commenting on how it will make life easier for them and how well-constructed and placed it seems to be.

Overall Thoughts.

If you had asked me a month ago what I thought of the idea of a wall-mounted letter and parcel box, I would have been confused.

Surely no one could put anything in it without a key?

Would people even bother to use it?

What’s the point when I’m in?

However, now I know it is useful, not only for people like me who have difficulty at times getting to the door, but also in the run-up to Christmas when people are working and waiting for parcels to arrive.

Having this contemporary wall-mounted letterbox means I know our parcels are going to be left safely.

It means I know if I am fatigued, I don’t have to worry about getting out of bed when the postman knocks.

It leaves me feeling in control of when I go and check for letters and parcels.

Inside the door, it has a notice to explain how anyone dropping a parcel off can lock it, but we are probably going to print something to go on the outside to make it clearer. However, most people seem to have had no issue working it out for themselves.

If you are thinking of getting something like the Easybox 400 Wall Mounted Letter and Parcel Box, I definitely say think about it no more! You will be surprised at just how much easier it makes life. Especially if you’re in a position like mine (or out at work when parcels arrive).

If you are after such a box, but this one doesn’t quite sound right, do check out all the external post boxes that Letterbox4you has.

What do you think of the sound of this postbox? Do you think it would be helpful for you?

This post contains a gifted item, this, however, doesn’t change my views, which are as always, honest.
