Austin 2 Parcel Pillar Charcoal

With multiple shapes, styles and shades in our range, we have the perfect letterbox for every home.
 

Freestanding Pillars
Our freestanding pillars are shipped pre-assembled and ready to install. Freestanding pillars are best used to compliment your lawn or garden, and are a stylish yet functional way to complete the look of your home.

Brick-in Letterbox
Our brick in letterboxes have been designed to be not only functional but durable, with adjustable depth sleeves, and the choice of rear or front opening, for convenience. Unlike other suppliers, most of our brick in letterboxes arrive pre-assembled making installation a breeze.  

Picket Fence Letterbox
The design of our fence letterboxes ensures the range is suitable for easy installation into most fence types with a clever concealed mounting system, offering a stylish and clean finish. 

Wall Mount Letterbox
Designed to easily mount to your wall, this option is a fantastic choice for those who may be limited by space or access to their letterbox.

Our extensive range of parcel freestanding letterboxes accept a range of parcel sizes from small all the way up to extra-large parcels. Our Bondi and Parcel Pal 2 have the largest parcel capacity size, accepting up to extra-large parcels, whereas more slimline designs such as the Camden, accepts small parcels.  
 
We also offer a range of brick in and fence letterboxes that can accept smaller parcels. Our Geneva and Zurich letterboxes can be used in both brick or fence installation, and can accept larger parcels, whereas the remainder of our parcel brick in/fence letterboxes can easily accept small parcels.

You can view an image in the photo gallery for each parcel letterbox showing the maximum parcel size that product can receive. Please keep in mind, if you are receiving multiple packages/deliveries, the capacity for individual package size will be reduced.

We designed several of our letterboxes for the capacity to accept A4 mail for your convenience.  
Some of our most popular pillar letterbox designs include the Bondi, Noosa Extra Wide, Parcel Pal 2, Hamilton, Camden, Ascot and Camden Large. We also offer several brick in/fence letterboxes that offer A4 mail capability including the Geneva, Zurich, Palazzo and Siena. 

Our Hamilton, Parcel Pal 2 and Austin 2 letterboxes all have a separate letter slot/shelf at the top of the letterbox, meaning you don’t have to bend down to retrieve your mail.

Our powder coat letterboxes are all zinc coated and then protected with the durable powder coat finish. Similar to a car, only when a surface is exposed to the elements will there be potential for rusting. These are all offered with our 5 year structural warranty, which will cover any rusting issues, occurring naturally. 

Our stainless steel letterboxes won’t rust, but might present ‘tea staining’, especially if installed in coastal areas. Most of our stainless steel letterboxes are finished with a marine grade 316 stainless steel, which is more resistant to the elements (especially sea salt spray). We do have some products that offer both the regular stainless steel and the marine grade 316 stainless steel; if you live close to the ocean we do recommend selecting the marine grade 316 stainless steel option for longevity. 

Unfortunately, we only supply the letterboxes, however we do provide easy to follow installation instructions both on our website, and included in each product packaging. Many of our letterboxes have been designed for easy DIY install, otherwise you can contact a local handyman or tradesperson to install it for you.  

As every Milkcan letterbox is slightly different, they each come with individual and extensive installation instructions to ensure the process is as simple and easy to follow as possible.  These instructions will show how to install your letterbox on different mediums, as well as any tools that may be required for installation.  

The tools required will differ depending on not only the letterbox you have purchased, but the medium you are installing on/in. All fixings required for installation (e.g screws) are included with the letterbox. Our Pillar letterboxes generally require a hammer drill, 10mm masonry drill bit and spirit level for installation.  
 
The installation instructions for each letterbox will show any tools that may be required. 

Unfortunately, due to the nature of our letterbox designs, we do not recommend swapping a key lock for a combination lock.

We do however offer replacement locks if your current lock has been damaged. You can shop Spare parts here.

If you are interested in a letterbox with a combination lock we recommend the Vienna 2 , Monza, Amalfi or Siena.

The Hamilton, Parcel Pal 2 and Austin 2 all include ‘Letters’ and ‘Parcels’ screen printed on the letterbox, whereas Noosa, Camden Large, Camden and Ascot have ‘Lift’ screen printed on the front on the lid to assist the postman and couriers with delivering your mail and packages. The colour of the text may differ depending on the letterbox – please refer to the individual product listing imagery to confirm the colour on your preferred letterbox.

Alternatively, the Bondi, Como, Zurich and Geneva have ‘Parcels’ laser cut onto the lid or handle only.

We use our own specific colour finishes on our letterboxes, however we do have several colours similar to Colourbond colours.

Powder coat steel letterboxes:

Black – similar to ‘Night Sky’  
Charcoal – similar to ‘Monument’ 
Silver – similar to ‘Windspray’
White – similar to ‘Dover White’

Concrete pillars:

Black: 90% match to Monument  
Grey: 75% match to Monument 
Light Grey: 50% match to Shale Grey 
Mocca: 50% match to Dune
White: 50% match to Dover White

Powder-coat – We don’t recommend painting over our powder-coated letterboxes, which is why we are constantly expanding our range to offer a variety of different colours and combinations to suit most homes. 

Stainless Steel – We don’t recommend painting over stainless steel. 

Concrete – Yes. Mask the required areas. Remove all grease, dirt and debris from all surfaces. There is no need to prime the concrete piers, you can paint directly over the surface.  

Please note, repainting or customising your letterbox, may void warranty.

1. Start by wiping the surface gently with a wet sponge to remove any loose dirt and debris.
2. Apply a mild household detergent to the surface (Choose a detergent that is free from both solvents and petroleum-based chemicals).
3. Rinse the detergent off using clean, fresh water.
4. Use a clean, dry cloth to pat dry the surface.
