Your letterbox is one of the first details people notice when they arrive at your home – but finding the right design is about more than looks.
The perfect parcel letterbox should suit your installation space, have enough capacity for the deliveries you receive and complement the exterior of your home. Follow these three simple steps to find the right option for your front entry.
1. Choose your installation type
Start by considering where your new parcel letterbox will be installed. Milkcan parcel letterboxes are available in four main installation styles:
Freestanding parcel pillars: A freestanding pillar is a complete, standalone solution that can be installed directly into existing concrete flooring or a concrete slab.
Fence parcel letterboxes: Fence parcel letterboxes are designed to integrate neatly into your front fence, these letterboxes are a great choice for timber, metal, modular and other compatible fencing styles.
Brick-in parcel letterboxes: Brick-in parcel letterboxes are designed to be incorporated into brickwork, stonework or render, creating a clean and seamless built-in finish.
Wall-mount parcel letterboxes: Wall-mount parcel letterboxes are installed directly onto a suitable wall or solid surface, making them ideal for homes with an existing entrance wall with no rear access.
Whichever installation type you choose, Milkcan parcel letterboxes arrive fully assembled, helping to make the installation process as simple as possible.
2. Find the right size
Next, think about both the space you have available and the number of parcels your household receives.
Begin by considering the available space of your chosen installation area, as well as whether you would prefer to retrieve your deliveries from the front or rear. Remember to allow enough clearance for parcel and retrieval doors to open comfortably.
Once you know what will fit, consider your usual deliveries.
A compact parcel letterbox may be ideal for smaller frontages, narrow fences and households receiving occasional deliveries. A larger-capacity design provides more room for frequent online orders, multiple parcels or larger packages.
Choosing the right capacity means fewer parcels left at the front door and more deliveries stored safely until you arrive home. All of our parcel letterboxes are designed with clever anti-theft features to help keep deliveries secure, concealed and difficult to access through the parcel opening.
3. Choose your colour and finish
Once you have found the right installation style and size, it is time to choose the finish that brings everything together.
You may want your letterbox to blend seamlessly with your fence, garage door, window frames or roof. Alternatively, a contrasting finish can turn it into a standout feature at the front of your home.
Milkcan parcel letterboxes are available in a range of premium Dulux powder-coated finishes, including timeless white, black and charcoal options. Selected designs are also available in stainless steel.
Available colours vary between products, giving you the flexibility to find a parcel letterbox that complements both your home and personal style.
