Overview: Architectural Mailboxes 6900B Elephant Trunk Parcel Drop Box Black is a strong sturdy parcel box designed to keep my packages safe from theft.Pros: Most of the Parcel Drop Box is already preassembled. I only need to install the handle and bottom feet of the container. It has a pull drop design where the delivery driver pulls the handle and places the parcel into the container. When the delivery driver close it, the package drops into a secret compartment where I can only assess it with a key. The Parcel Drop Box comes with two sets of keys. It also features a bracket to mount on the wall and it can also be bolted to the ground. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if I’m away no one would steal it.Cons: Designed only for small packagesNo big /wide packages can fit.Conclusion: Awesome product, I highly recommended it to everyone.

On a positive note, our postal service delivered the package to our front door and waited for a response before lifting the parcel down from the delivery truck, and carried it to my front door for me (with a smile, so kudos to them). Delivery was in a very timely and professional manner.The Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box arrived in a carefully packaged corrugated cardboard box with protective packaging on the interior of the parcel, in excellent condition.The craftsmanship of the Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box exceeds all expectactions, it is sturdy, user friendly and the black satin finish is much better in person. It certainly adds to curb appeal and serves it's purpose well as a mailbox and parcel delivery box. To assist in the transition from my usual wallmounted mailbox, I have posted a typed instruction for use notice and covered my mailbox completely with this notice, so that the letter carriers will know that ALL delivery mail and parcels are to be placed inside the Elephantrunk.Conversely, although we have had no issues with mail delivery into our very spacious, sponge-lined Elephantrunk, two very small packages that AMAZON has delivered to our home have both been dropped on the front doorstep, despite the fact that any delivery person must pass by our Elephantrunk and the mail/parcel instruction notice in order to reach our front door.Since the height of the Elephantrunk is lower than our standard mailbox height, we have bolted it to 8" x 8" concrete Cinder Blocks for added security, and for ease of access. As such, although the pre-drilled bolt at the base of the trunk is suffice, it is positioned at the centerpoint of the trunk base. This mounting option is great for ground mounting, however, it would be nice to have had the option to anchor to the back legs as well for added stability when mounting on raised platforms to meet mail/parcel delivery box height standards.Overall, we are extremely pleased with our purchase and we most certainly recommend the Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box as an addition to any home or business for added piece of mind that delivered mail and parcels will be stored safely and securely until you are able to retrieve them.

La boite à colis est très jolie et de qualité, malheureusement elle n'est pas aux normes de la Poste, ce qui veut dire que la Poste ne peut pas en profiter pour y déposer des colis plus gros directement à l'intérieur.Le changement de clés pour des clés conformes est possible, mais demande des travaux importants.Un forêt conique Acier pour percer un trou plus grand et quelques talents et matériaux pour le bricolage d'une cane coudée en remplacement de celle fournie avec la serrure conforme à La Poste.A surveiller dans le temps que la qualité est au RDV et qu'elle est bien étanche.

Dopo più di un anno dall'installazione posso affermare che questa cassetta postale è solida e non arrugginisce.L'ho sistemata sotto la tettoia che protegge il cancello di ingresso, in prossimità di una strada con traffico sostenuto. Non vi è mai entrata dell'acqua, né per la pioggia né per gli schizzi delle automobili.Il meccanismo di apertura dello sportello superiore, quello destinato all'introduzione dei pacchi, non permette in alcun modo di raggiungere dall'esterno il contenuto della cassetta. Proprio questo meccanismo limita però la dimensione massima dei pacchi. Per esempio, accetta senza problemi un pacco contenente quattro o cinque libri scolastici ma un atlante geografico, per via della sua maggiore altezza, potrebbe non entrare.La serratura dello sportello si è rivelata finora affidabile così come il sistema di fissaggio al pavimento.La cassetta ha al suo interno una base di gomma piuma per attutire la caduta dei pacchi.L'unico vero problema è stato convincere i postini e i corrieri ad utilizzarla, vista la scarsa familiarità nella mia zona con questi oggetti. Ma certo non è una questione che possa risolvere il suo costruttore.

I love the Elephantrunk, a lot. Not as much as my wife and kids but not far behind!We previously had a naff small metal mailbox on the wall in our porch and it was really easy to squeeze your hand in and get the mail without unlocking it. Added to this we buy most of our 'must-have' purchases online and we were getting fed up of wondering if we'd be in when they were delivered....so I wanted to get something which was big, strong and would take mail and parcels.There are quite a few options on the market but none that look as good or as designed as well as this. Yes it's more than a ton to buy but how much do you spend online or even on the weekly supermarket trip?It's well packaged, has simple instructions and took less than half an hour to get in-place. The anchor bolt through the bottom is extremely sturdy and I'm confident that it would withstand all but a determined angle-grinder attempt to try and nick it - but it isn't a safe, and we might notice if someone tried to power-tool it out!Remember to make sure you have a decent 16mm masonry or wood drill bit to make the hole for the anchor fitting.The drop-box part of it is really well designed, strong and feels well-engineered. The lock seems capable enough and certainly would again take some (obvious) effort and noise to try and get through.Takes loads of parcels and mail and has a great sponge in the bottom to soften landings.Also has a bar code inside the drop-box which I guess could be scanned if proof of delivery is needed - we added a label with our name and address on as well.Bumped into the postman this morning who had just put two hefty parcels through it. I asked him if it was alright and he said 'fantastic, I wish everyone had one!' - says it all really!Buy it you won't regret it!
