Citizens Advice reports that 21% of consumers experience parcel delivery problems every week. It’s a significant issue and with the rise in our desire for online shopping, many homeowners are looking for a solution. Let us share three of the best selling parcel boxes on the market.
Where to Leave Your Parcels
An investigation into complaints about mail delivery was undertaken by Citizens Advice*. It highlights the pressures on delivery drivers to drop off as many packages as possible. However, most parcels are too big to post through the letterbox, so what are the options?
The driver has little time to wait around or knock on neighbours’ doors. If they take the package back, they won’t get paid the ‘per drop’ rate and redelivery will add to their next round. Therefore, parcels are often left on the doorstep. Here they are at risk of theft or a soaking in the British weather. So, what’s the solution?
Parcel Boxes Are The Solution
For a growing number of households, parcel boxes are the solution. These provide a secure and dry hold for small to medium packages.
European-made parcel boxes are designed to be weather-resistant and are fitted with anti-theft features to prevent your goods from being stolen. They are available in a range of styles and sizes, so you can select a design to suit your home. If you are an avid online shopper or small business, you’ll be pleased to know that large-capacity parcel boxes are a thing!
So, Which Are the Best Selling Parcel Boxes?
We only source quality parcel boxes from trusted suppliers in Europe. As such, all options provide a practical solution for parcel delivery. However, three models have proven particularly popular with our buyers.
Sigma High Capacity Parcel Box for Gates & Fences
Gate Post Box Sigma Black Front View Fitted
This parcel box offers a stylish and practical delivery solution if you have a gateway or fence at the end of your driveway. Fitted as two adjoining parts, the faceplate belies the high capacity hold. Sigma can receive packages up to 80x300x400mm, keeping them dry and secure until you unlock the hold.
Sigma offers the option of a galvanised steel or stainless steel faceplate. The parcel box is powder coated twice to enhance durability and weather resistance. It comes with a 2-year warranty. With this solution, there is no need for delivery drivers, posties or leaflet distributors to come onto your property. As such, your gate can remain closed and security enhanced.
Our customers say:
“Great item good quality for price.”
“Looks great fitted into the gate. So much easier now that post/parcel people don’t have to enter the property and disturb our dog.”

Lovisa Freestanding Parcel Box
Parcel Box Lovisa Blue Lifesyle Image
Lovisa offers great flexibility in positioning. You can stand it near the front door or at the end of the driveway. It includes a base bolt to secure it into place. This Swedish design is practical and aesthetically pleasing. It is offered in a Scandi-inspired colour range.
The maximum parcel size is 120x290mm. When the parcels are deposited, the shelf drops down as the door shuts. This shelf then acts as a barrier, preventing someone from reaching in to retrieve your deliveries.
Our customers say:
“Excellent product and fast delivery. Came next day even though I only paid for standard delivery.”
“Beautiful letterbox, excellent quality product and excellent customer service.”
“Big enough for most things, small enough not to crowd the house entrance”
