You may think choosing a letterbox is easy but think again. There are a few things you should consider and get right. Australia and the Australian Post have their own rules regarding the litterbox’s size, placement and how it looks. This is a legal matter so choose wisely and carefully. You can either choose a high-quality, durable stainless steel letter box or some other sturdy material.

There’s a big variety of choices all over the market. You can buy them at the local store or order one online. There are plenty of colour combinations and design options that can match any exterior design. Start by considering how, and how much will you use it. Not all households receive the same amount of mail.

Some get flyers, brochures and letters each week, and some get just a couple of letters in one month. The mail’s quantity decides the mailbox’s size. More mail = a bigger letterbox. If you send a lot of mail, it’s a good idea to buy a surface-mounted box. If you get a lot of mail, a slot-style box will do a great job.
