Prepare for Christmas Cards with a Letterbox Alternative

Everyone gets letters, whether it’s promotional leaflets, personal statements with confidential information or sentimental letters from friends or family. But with Christmas just around the corner, you’ll no doubt be receiving an influx of letters filled with Christmas Cards and might be after a more effective solution to safely receive and store them until they’re needed. 

Almost all homes have a letterbox installed into their door to receive post but are they the most effective solution for receiving letters? If not, what is the best alternative to a letterbox and why?

Standard Door Letterbox for Christmas Cards

Letterboxes are typically fine for the majority of letter sizes, but when you’re expecting a large quantity, they can leave quite a mess on your doorstep and get easily trodden on by mistake as you come home. 

As well as this, couriers can sometimes not fully post them through, blocking up the letterbox and preventing any more from being posted. If this is the case, they can be left exposed to the outside, where they can become bent, damaged, or worse, stolen!

A standard letterbox does the job through most times of the year, but when Christmas comes around, you might be looking into a better alternative to protect your letters and their contents. 

Brizebox offer the best alternative to a letterbox

Some doors don’t include a letterbox, and letters must be left on the doorstep outside or wedged under the door until the homeowner returns to bring them in. In this case, letters are at even more risk of being stolen or the contents being damaged. 

Alternatively, the courier may need help to complete the delivery as some companies require the package to be handed to the occupant or ensure it gets into the home safely. They’ll often leave a note saying they couldn’t deliver with information when they’ll attempt again or for you to collect the letter yourself, which can be a big inconvenience costing you time and money. 

Even if your door has a letterbox, a smart parcel box is the best alternative to a letterbox as it can store many letters safely with its patented false door technology. The Brizebox is designed and developed in the UK, specifically with security and accessibility in mind. A courier can continue delivering parcels and letters until the secure container becomes full, which will need emptying.
