How Big Can My Parcels be to Fit in a Parcel Box

A parcel delivery box is a great solution to allow couriers to conveniently leave your packages somewhere safe without you needing to worry about missing the delivery. Even larger parcels that don’t fit through your letter box can be stored safely rather than left on the doorstep, at risk of theft or the elements. 

Now you can keep these larger packages hidden and secure even while you aren’t home until you return to collect them. But with that in mind, it’s important to understand just how big your parcels can be and still fit in your parcel box.

What different Parcel Box Sizes are available?

Brizebox offers three parcel box sizes meaning you can get the option that best suits your needs.

We provide either standalone or built-in styles, and our parcel box sizes are consistent across both choices. The designs are suitable for parcels that fit the below dimensions:

• Standard – 32×23x18cm
• Large – 41x31x22cm
• Extra-Large – 52x39x32cm

The above dimensions are not the measurements of the actual storage compartment for the parcel box but the drawer in which the courier places your package. This drawer has a trapdoor which automatically releases when a parcel is placed inside, and the door is closed, causing the parcel to drop into the storage compartment below.

You can continue to receive parcels until the secure storage is full. At this point, the parcel box will automatically lock to prevent any more deliveries. In this case, it’s important to empty your parcel box regularly, no matter what size it is, to prevent it from being too full and missing out on a delivery.

Now you know the dimensions your parcels can be to fit in each parcel box, what about their weight? Because the Brizebox is either securely planted on the floor, built-in directly to a wall or bolted to a post, the weight of your deliveries should not affect your parcel box in any way. Even packages with fragile contents are good to use in a parcel drop box as the lower storage area is fitted with a foam base to help absorb the impact when a parcel is delivered. 

How to decide between the parcel box sizes?

To help you decide which parcel box sizes will be best, it’s a good idea to assess the type of deliveries that you will be receiving regularly and what sizes they come in. Compare this to the sizes listed above to ensure that your frequent deliveries will be able to fit into the parcel box drawer. 

That being said, even smaller packages are often filled to the brim with excessive packaging, which bloats out the size to the point where they can’t be posted through the letterbox. In that case, you’ll want to pick an appropriate parcel box size to facilitate this.

Each style is ideal for any household without being too large to be intrusive or an eyesore. If you aren’t sure or would just like the freedom of not having to worry, going for the larger variations will be more suited to you.
