puntloos Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 This seems like such an obvious thing, A4 letters are 21x29.7cm but most mailboxes might hold them but the slots are smaller, eg: Why can I not find mailboxes with a 21cm slot? Or is this actually not a problem in reality? bonus: I would love a mailbox with an anti-theft lip, that prevents people bending their fingers into the box and grabbing mail.

Nick Thomas Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I put up one of these last year: https://www.screwfix.com/p/smith-locke-compact-post-box-black-powder-coated/8161p It's not amazing, and it doesn't have the anti-theft lip, but it does fit A4 letters in - 26cm total width, and definitely tall enough.

MPH243 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have one of these, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08L81K2P4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 they fit sideways but with a news paper slot below. It's quite good and stays dry in heavy rain. The first one got wet with light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntloos Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Maybe I shouldn't worry too much about the smaller slot size.. people tend to fold a4, maybe not a huge deal (plus how many a4 letters do I get per year..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
