Types of Home Parcel Boxes: Which One Is Right for You?
Introduction
With the rise of online shopping, having a reliable parcel box at home is no longer just a convenience — it’s a necessity. But which type of parcel box should you choose? In this article, we’ll walk through the three main options for home parcel boxes, highlight their unique advantages, and share some of our best-selling models.
1. Through-the-Wall, Fence, or Gate Parcel Boxes

According to market feedback and customer reviews, through-wall parcel boxes have become the most popular choice. These boxes allow homeowners to receive deliveries directly into their garden or home without stepping outside.
Key Features:
Installed directly into a brick wall, fence, or gate.
Designed with a separate flap or front access slot for easy delivery.
Hidden main compartment keeps parcels safe and out of sight.
-
Examples:
#3037Wall – ideal for single-brick walls.
#3037Fence – lighter weight, perfect for fences.
#3041 Adjustable – can be tailored to wall thickness.

To protect the surface during installation, we also provide protective frames that prevent scratches from bricks or tools. Each unit comes with waterproof bends and sealing strips to keep packages dry even in heavy rain.
Because this type requires wall cutting and longer installation, durability is critical. That’s why our boxes undergo electrophoresis treatment + powder coating, ensuring over 10 years of outdoor use without rust or fading.
2. Freestanding Parcel Boxes

Freestanding boxes are another great option. Fixed securely to the ground, they offer maximum flexibility in placement — whether at the end of the driveway or next to your front door.
Advantages:
Largest capacity — perfect for frequent online shoppers.
-
Variety of top cover designs for different aesthetics:
Planter tops (double as flower pots).
Flat roof tops (blend with modern buildings).
Curved tops (a sleek, stylish look).

Internally, freestanding boxes can be highly versatile:
Drawer-style (e.g., #3001).
Front Chute (e.g., #3007).
Top Lid (e.g., #3017).

Each design ensures parcels drop securely inside while preventing unauthorized removal. If you have a new idea, we can customize it — our design team can turn your concept into reality.
3. Wall-Mounted Parcel Boxes
For smaller spaces, wall-mounted parcel boxes are a smart solution. Installed on an exterior wall near the door or porch, they provide a compact yet effective way to receive deliveries.
Examples:
#3035 – sleek, modern design.
#3012 – compact, suitable for smaller packages.
Many wall-mounted options feature a top opening flap, making it easy for couriers to deposit packages. Their internal design ensures that only the keyholder can retrieve parcels, keeping deliveries secure.
