While a Smart Parcel Box is useful all year round, it\u2019s especially handy when it comes to Christmas time. With <\/span>complaints about deliveries spiking<\/span><\/a> in the lead up to the festive season, Ofcom has stepped in to help the most vulnerable of online shoppers. This will, in short, hold delivery companies accountable for the arrival of the parcels, and in reasonable condition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ofcom is said to be bringing in more protection for disabled customers who are shopping online. However, with more than 10 million parcels being delivered daily, it\u2019s hard for that protection to be guaranteed. That\u2019s where Smart Parcel Box can assist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already talked about how our <\/span>parcel boxes can make your life easier<\/span><\/a>. From helping with medicine drop-offs to ensuring disabled people can get their parcels without stress, getting a parcel box has many perks. Having a parcel box also paves the way to ensuring that identity theft via mail becomes completely obsolete.<\/span><\/p>\n

A closer look at the anti-fishing bar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Depending on the size of your parcel box, you\u2019ll be able to fit several parcels into the safe container. Only with one of the keys we provide will you be able to access the parcels. Our anti-fishing bar will also keep any grabby hands at bay, <\/span>blocking thieves from reaching in to steal<\/span><\/a> your delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Parcel Boxes also helps to reduce C02 emissions, as it offers the delivery staff the ability to deliver on the first visit. This means no extra petrol required going back and forth from your address or by needing to visit the Post Office depot. In the long run, it even helps to cut back on the use of paper, as it means no more \u201csorry we missed you\u201d cards will be posted through your door.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas Presents<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"During the festive time of year, Smart Parcel Box can also become a great hiding place for all those Christmas gifts! Looking for somewhere to put the parcels before you wrap them? Just keep them locked in the container until you need them!*<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, giving the gift of a Smart Parcel Box to a loved one is a useful and functional gift that every house needs! Available in a variety of sizes and colours, the Smart Parcel Box will help to modernise the home. It also helps to eradicate parcel panic<\/a>, and ensures no more missed deliveries.\u00a0
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>*We do traditionally advise to empty your parcel box frequently, to avoid the box becoming full and preventing further deliveries. However, as a short term solution, they make a great hiding place for gifts you don\u2019t want the household to immediately find – especially if you have curious children desperate to find out what Santa will be bringing them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
