5 Reasons Why Post Boxes Are Cool
The excitement and anticipation that comes with owning a post box is hugely addictive and should not be underestimated. We love the sense of mystery and intrigue they lend to such a simple everyday activity as collecting the mail. Has the post man been on his morning round? Has the long-awaited postcard from your best friend arrived? How about the gig tickets you’ve been expecting for months or festive greetings from friends and family?
Let’s face it, there’s just so much more enjoyment involved in checking a post box than there is in scooping up crumpled and torn letters from the floor. And, who out there doesn’t like to dream that there might be an unexpected card from a loved one (or a tax rebate from HMRC) waiting for them when they lift the lid?
Post boxes are cool and we can’t get enough of them. Here’s why…
1. They look great.
Metal Freestanding Post Box with Post
This modern freestanding post box is made of robust powder-coated steel and finished in a classic soft clay colour. There’s plenty of room for small parcels and letters and a security lock ensures your mail is secure at all times. Perfect for homes, businesses and farms.
2. They’re timeless.
Traditional Post Box – Galvanised
Take a step back in time and collect your post in style with this sleek and stylish galvanised letter box. The clever design incorporates a hinged flap which both prevents any rain getting inside the box and hides the lock from view. A timeless design that will complement both period and contemporary homes.
3. They make us feel nostalgic.
We love the look and feel of this traditional post box. The soft curves combined with the earthy clay colour help the design blend perfectly with nature. Of course, there’s no need to worry about soggy (or missing) letters and leaflets. This letter box comes complete with a hinged flap to protect your mail from the elements and a sturdy lock and key for security.
4. They’re built to last.
Metal Wall Mounted Post Box
Wall-mounted post boxes are incredibly practical because they can be attached to walls exactly where you need them. This powder-coated post box is made of robust steel that’s built to stand up to the elements and comes with a security lock and two keys for added peace of mind.
5. They are very handy!

Secure it to the wall by your front door and store all of your post, magazines and flyers in style.
