Pakketten ontvangen zonder thuis te zijn

A parcel you miss often means a trip to a pickup point or another delivery attempt. A parcel letterbox with a separate parcel compartment solves that: the courier leaves the parcel, you take it out whenever it suits you. The parcel letterboxes on this page are all made of aluminium.

How does a parcel mailbox work?

A parcel mailbox combines an ordinary mailbox with a larger compartment for parcels. The courier opens that compartment, places the parcel inside and closes it again. You open the compartment with your own key or numeric code and take the parcel out. This way your post stays separate from your parcels and nobody has to wait until you are home.

With models that have a parcel compartment, that compartment is accessible from the front, so the courier does not need to come onto your driveway or into your garden. Models with a numeric code let you open them without a key, which is handy if you ever want to give someone else access. Would you first like to see which model suits your facade and your usage? Start the selection guide and you will receive a targeted proposal.

What should you look out for when receiving parcels safely at home?

The size of the parcel compartment determines which parcels fit inside. Think of the boxes you order most often: webshop orders, books, clothing. Larger parcels sometimes remain too big, and that is normal. So look at your own ordering behaviour before you choose a model.

Placement makes a big difference. A parcel mailbox at the street side is accessible for the courier and remains clearly visible from the public road. Make sure you have a sturdy, level surface and enough space around the opening, so that the compartment can open and close smoothly. If you have doubts about placement or rules in your municipality, we are happy to refer you to bpost or a recognised sales point.

Material and finish determine how long your mailbox stays looking good. The aluminium housings are resistant to weather and wind, and you choose from more than 2000 RAL colours so that the whole fits in with your facade. A parcel mailbox is not a lock on your front door, but a practical interim solution for the parcels you receive every day.

Never miss a parcel again

The biggest gain lies in the rhythm of your day. You do not have to stay home for a delivery and you do not have to plan a pick-up point. The courier does his round, the parcel disappears into the compartment and you take it out whenever it suits you. That saves time and unnecessary journeys.

View the parcel mailboxes in the range and compare the compartment sizes, the operation and the colours. Every model on this site has been carefully selected, so you immediately see what suits your situation. Doubting between two models? The selection guide brings you to the right option in a few steps.

How do I receive parcels when I am not at home?

With a parcel letterbox that has a separate parcel compartment, the courier leaves your parcel even when you are not at home. You open the compartment later with a key or numeric code. Choose a model whose compartment size matches what you usually order, and place it within easy reach on the street side.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Does every parcel fit in a parcel letterbox?
No. A parcel compartment is intended for parcels up to a certain size, such as webshop boxes, books or clothing. Larger or heavy parcels do not fit and are often delivered separately. Compare the compartment size of the model with what you usually have delivered.
How do I know my parcel is safe in the letterbox?
The parcel sits in a locked compartment that only opens with your key or numeric code. That makes it less visible and harder to take than a parcel left out at the door. Absolute certainty does not exist, but a closed compartment is a practical step.
Do I need to arrange anything with the parcel service?
Often a clear instruction at your address is enough, so the courier knows there is a parcel compartment. Rules and agreements differ per carrier. For specific questions about delivery or installation, we refer you to bpost or a recognised sales point.
