In my academic pursuits, I earned a BSc in Information Systems Design from UCLAN, before advancing my learning with a Master’s Degree in Computing. This advanced study also included Cisco CCNA accreditation, further demonstrating my commitment to understanding and staying ahead of the technology curve. I am James, a UK-based tech enthusiast and the creative mind behind Mighty Gadget, which I’ve proudly run since 2007. Passionate about all things technology, my expertise spans from computers and networking, to mobile, wearables, and smart home devices.

RESIN CONSTRUCTION: It's made out of all weather-resistant resin to protect deliveries from the elements

How it works

A parcel delivery box is designed in a way that allows a parcel to be delivered but not retrieved from a box unless you have a key. So, what are the best options? Or you may even wonder what a parcel box is compared to a generic garden storage box? What is a parcel delivery box? In your outdoor space, durability, functionality, and style must simultaneously work together. Keter has you, and your things, covered. Sadly, at the time of writing, it is not available to buy. But I would strongly recommend keeping an eye out for it. Yale Smart Delivery Box It looks like all the metal boxes on this list are galvanised steel with a rust-resistant coating, so they are not really waterproof, and they may start to get rusty if the underlying steel gets exposed. iParcelBox Smart Parcel Delivery Box

Unlike the relatively dumb Smart Parcel Box, this has actual smart features. The box has a companion app, and the box itself connects to the internet. There are all sorts of options on the market, different sizes and different methods to accepting and securing the parcel. There are even some smart delivery boxes on the market, as much as I love tech, I am not entirely sold on the idea of these. As a fitness fanatic who loves running and cycling, I also have a keen interest in fitness-related technology, and I take every opportunity to cover this niche on my blog. My diverse interests allow me to bring a unique perspective to tech blogging, merging lifestyle, fitness, and the latest tech trends. I did find there were some minor flaws compared to the usual quality from Eufy, but I think the unique nature of this box makes up for any niggles.Parcel Postboxes are ideally suited for a fast and easy local drop off which are open 24/7 for your convenience. The Keter Drop Box is the one I see recommended the most. It is a floor-standing model, which is what I am after, personal. It has an all-plastic construction making it weatherproof but light. You can secure it either by bolting it to the floor or weighing it down physically with weights. The company that makes this, Smart Parcel Box, includes a barcode within the lid of the box, allowing couriers to scan it and mark it as signed for. Some companies may not be willing to scan the code, if they require a physical signature, they may not be able to do it, but it should minimise the number of parcels you miss.

I have been considering parcel boxes for a while now, with the end of COVID in sight, it seems like a good time to invest in one. The Keter Delivery Box doesn’t come assembled. Customers report that assembly is not difficult or time consuming. Minimal tools are required and instructions are available here for you to read over before purchasing if you desire. As someone that receives a large number of deliveries due to review samples and the inevitable compulsive tech spending brought on by writing about it every day, parcel deliveries can be a nightmare. It is something that has caused me genuine stress in the past. Smart video doorbells and my growing number of outdoor surveillance cameras means I rarely miss the door when I am in, nowadays, but it is still frustrating having to sit in all day when some couriers turn up at random times. Our storage boxes are perfect for any outdoor living space. We make durability, functionality and style our priorities so that your outdoor space works for your family and your lifestyle.
