It\u2019s clear that a Smart Parcel Box is a brilliant addition to your home, purely because of its functionality. \u00a0It\u2019s a safe and secure way to receive parcels at any time of the day. But, if that doesn\u2019t convince you to get hold of your very own, here are our top five perks of owning one that you might not have thought of!<\/p>\n

Perk #1: Modernises Your Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Having a parcel box is a must for adding a modern touch to your home. It has been designed with elegant aesthetics in mind. With its sleek shape and clean-cut lines, your outdoor parcel box is sure to get compliments from visitors. Not to mention, its rust-resistant galvanised steel powder coating is available in a range of colours.
\nIf you\u2019re looking for something a bit smaller, have a look at our parcel boxes in the Lift Top Delivery<\/a> style. It is the perfect solution for a discreet yet stylish parcel box in your home.
\n\ud83d\udca1Top Tip: Many of our customers coordinate their parcel boxes with their door colour!<\/p>\n

Perk #2: Protects From Identity Theft<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Currently, there is a cyber crisis in the UK as reported on the government website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cCyber criminals are tricking UK citizens into downloading a malicious app by sending convincing-looking ‘missed parcel’ <\/strong>text messages. The messages contain links to a page that either tells you to download a tracking app for the parcel delivery. [This software is then able to] steal your banking details, passwords, and other sensitive information. The app also accesses your contacts and sends them to the criminals. [This will] send additional text messages from your device to other people’s contacts, further spreading itself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But, with a parcel box for your home, you won\u2019t have anything to worry about. While you may still get these messages, you\u2019ll know that even when you\u2019re out, delivery staff are able to simply deposit your items into the parcel box. You\u2019ll therefore be much less likely to fall victim to one of these scams, as you’ll know your parcels are already safely stored.<\/p>\n

Perk #3: Protect Delivery Staff From Pets\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our furry friends are a part of the population that we need to chew over when thinking about parcels and letters. Pets can be quite excitable around new people, but not everyone is open to their affections. This includes some delivery staff. Having a parcel box for your home solves this problem because parcels are delivered directly to the box rather than to your door. Not only is this really convenient for you, but it also eliminates any chance of unwanted contact with delivery staff and your pets.<\/p>\n

Perk #4: Weather-Resistant\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Concerned about how your box will hold up against rain and bad weather? Well, considering the UK\u2019s increasingly extreme weather patterns, your worries aren’t unfounded. However, there’s no need to worry because the Smart Parcel Box is durable, weather and rust-resistant! It won\u2019t wear down over time so you can remain confident that your parcels are consistently safe.<\/p>\n

Top perk #5: Versatile\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your outdoor parcel box is designed to be adaptable to different environments and can be re-installed easily. This can be done by removing it, repairing holes in the surface of your wall, and re-fitting the box into your new home. This is made easier by our pre-drilled panel holes, found in every parcel box.
\nThere\u2019s also no need for you to have a separate letter box, as your parcel box can hold parcels and letters alike. Your postie can simply slide your letters into the box, keeping all your post safe and in one place. Then, whenever you\u2019re ready you can collect parcels and post at the same time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
