When designing a home, the intricate details are the ones that can become the most useful and appreciated over time. With online shopping becoming the new norm, at-home deliveries are a daily activity for most households. Alongside this comes many of the typical delivery issues we have all experienced, such as a missed delivery, damaged parcels (often left in a not-so-safe space), or lost items.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mapping a new address for self-build properties can sometimes mean added delivery issues in the first instance, so having a standalone box at the end of a drive or a gate could help better alert drivers to the property.<\/p>\n

Founder of Smart Parcel Box, Vikram Avasthi, explains, ‘Being in the online e-commerce industry for over two decades; we have witnessed first-hand the difficulties customers face when receiving parcels. After months of development, we created Smart Parcel Box, a safe and secure delivery box solution available in many styles and colours. As well as our neutral shades, we offer standout colours such as red, yellow, green and blue, which can\u2019t be missed!
\n
\n<\/strong>The boxes can be easily added after the main build to your outside walls, but they look particularly effective when they\u2019ve been pre-planned into the landscape design and are set within walls or fences. Adding a box with two-way access at the front and rear means you can get your deliveries without walking around to the front of your property.\u2019
\n
\n<\/strong>Installed in 50,000 homes and businesses nationwide, Smart Parcel Box is continuing to design boxes that stay updated with industry delivery changes and functionality. Made from galvanised steel, these weatherproof boxes are available in small, medium and large in a selection of trendy colours. Easy to use and able to fit multiple parcels, they are equipped with a unique scannable barcode that provides proof of delivery.<\/p>\n

Smart Parcel Boxes are available to order online with free UK delivery now.<\/p>\n
