Lockable Parcel Boxes: The History of the Postal Delivery

Brizebox has dragged innovation in post boxes into the modern era with the invention of our lockable parcel box. 

 

We haven’t really had anything change since the Victorian Era, apart from the occasional aesthetic update which is pretty surprising. In fact, up until 1840, people had to organise their own delivery or wait for a Bellman who could deliver your letter for you. He would ring a bell as he walked along so that people knew he was passing.

Britain's First Pox Box

In France and Belgium, post boxes were already in existence, but it wasn’t until 1852 that Britain got its first post box in Jersey. Fast forward to 1853, and they were everywhere, but there was no uniform design, the only consistent feature being the slit they all had for the post.

A Stagnant Design

In 1859, it was decided all boxes would be green, until people had trouble seeing where they were, so the government made them red, as most post boxes are to this day. At the same time, a standard design was issued containing the most useful features from the range that had been in use. 

 

Surprisingly, that really is the last innovation in post boxes in the U.K., pretty amazing.

Modern Era In Lockable Parcel Box Design

Thankfully, with its lockable parcel box design, the Brizebox has brought us a product that once again retains the features that work, while adding modern knowledge and materials to solve a modern problem. Something that we all agree was definitely needed.

 

Expanding from what was before considered the norm, the three revolutionary designs introduced by Brizebox mean you can have the size, positioning, and functionality of your choice. The added flexibility of the standalone, built-in, and apartment-style options means there is a solution for everyone, no matter the property type, space available, or delivery frequency.

 

This product is not only the ideal solution for individual properties but is also perfect for property developers with our commercial parcel box capabilities, meaning we can carry out large-scale projects and property developments where lockable parcel boxes are required.
