Parcel Delivery Box and Letterbox

Posted by

Our hugely popular freestanding pillar letterbox for home parcel delivery will be back in production and ready for dispatch by early October 2020.  To all those customers on our waiting list, thanks for your patience.  Our products are the best on the world market, and our designs and specifications are far ahead of the pack, based on our background in automotive design and engineering.

August 2020 has been our six year anniversary of the launch of our world-leading parcel letterboxes.  Our rendered pillar letterbox has evolved over that time.  We are now at Generation 3 and made them in Australia for 4 years.  In order to avoid cost increases, as of October the bodies will be imported.  However the product will actually be improved.  

The key benefits of our pillar letterbox are:

- Largest parcels securely.  Others take smaller parcels AND can be fished out by hand when the door is half open!

- Most durable.  The mechanism is tested to 25 years of use.  Competitors use rivets as pivot points, which wear out quickly based on our testing.

- Most corrosion resistant.  On top of the galvanised steel and phosphating we use three coatings (5 in total) where our competitors use one coating, or one plus a render which won't stick. We looked at using our competitors' factories but most did not even do phosphating, which is essential for adhesion and corrosion resistance of the base layer.  Our coatings all pass ASTM crosscut adhesion tests.

The body is made from heavy-duty, galvanized steel, with zinc phosphate, plus 3 extra coatings including the barrier primer and a primer we apply in Australia that has undergone 1000+ hours salt spray resistance testing.   We then finish with an Australian exterior render paint to give a beautiful and durable coating.  The rear door is now rendered to blend in.  Unlike powder coating, our render can be over-painted with any water or oil based exterior paint.  We have carried out ASTM crosscut adhesion tests and verified all conventional paints adhere to it.  In contrast, no paint we have tested or heard of will pass this test on outdoor powder coating, which other companies use.  This and other important quality factors are what we pride ourselves on.

Aesthetically, the Mosman pillar parcel drop box is carefully designed to look like a rendered brick pillar, but with so much more functionality.
