A smart parcel box makes package delivery stress a thing of the past and is an incredibly useful investment to any homeowner or tenant all year round, but it especially comes into its own at Christmas time.
Not only is the winter period renowned for its cold, wet weather, but with the number of deliveries you’ll be receiving sure to spike with both letters and parcels, a Christmas parcel box is a must-have.
Benefits of a Parcel Box this Christmas
Protected from the elements
As the winter season brings with it dark, cold and wet climates, it’s essential that your parcels aren’t left out on the doorstep in the rain to be damaged. A Christmas parcel box can ensure that your packages are placed out of harm’s way in a galvanised sheet metal container with rubber seals to prevent any water ingress and protect them from potential water damage.
Protected from thieves
Similarly, Christmas is a key time when would-be package thieves and porch pirates are most prevalent, looking to score high-value parcel thefts. A Christmas parcel box can not only protect your presents from the elements but also conceal them away from onlookers to deter stealing. Even if someone wanted to attempt to steal the packages from within the box, our Brizebox has a three-point locking system made with stainless steel levers making it very secure.
No need to be home
A Christmas parcel box can prevent the need for having to stay or pop home from work in order to be present for a delivery, as the courier can safely drop the parcel with no need for your interaction. This eliminates the risk of you worrying about the courier being unable to make a delivery and returning it to the post office for collection, which can be incredibly busy at that time of year. Instead, you can simply retrieve the present when you get home and find it waiting for you, dry and safe.
Perfect hiding place
If you have curious children in the house renowned for looking for their Christmas presents that you’d rather remain a secret. A parcel box can be the ideal hiding place to store them away from prying eyes until the time comes to wrap them. However, we would recommend emptying your parcel box regularly to avoid it becoming full and unable to accept more deliveries. That being said, even our smallest parcel box can fit multiple packages, and all Brizebox parcel delivery boxes can also be used as secure letterboxes for your Christmas cards.
Suitable for fragile goods
If you’re expecting to receive many orders over the festive period, consider a more substantial box – we have three size options with our Extra-large Parcel Box suitable for parcels that fit 52x39x32cm dimensions. If you’re considering buying more fragile intimate gifts for Christmas, such as glassware or crockery, and are concerned about the items being damaged on delivery when dropped into the parcel box, worry not. Our Extra-Large Box features a Soft-Drop to help cushion heavier parcels. This Soft-Drop is a floating base suspended from springs that help cushion your parcel as it lands.
A Parcel Box isn’t just for Christmas
While they are incredibly useful to have during the busy parcel season, a smart parcel box like BrizeBox is a great idea all year round to keep your parcels safe and secure, meaning you don’t need to be home to receive them.
