Introducing Parcel Safe
Parcel Safe is an innovative, yet simple solution to a very common problem.
How many times have you ordered something and instead of it being delivered to your door you find a ´sorry we missed you´ card on your doormat?
With Parcel Safe you can be safe in the knowledge that any items you´ve ordered are safe, secure and waiting for you on your return home, meaning no more inconvenient trips to the local sorting depot!

Ebay users send 650,000 parcels through Royal Mail a week, thats 34 million a year!*

In 2006 over 2,466 man years of consumers time were wasted through home delivery failures (At a reasonable £12 per hour thats over £259 million!)*
After adding up all the direct and indirect costs of delivery failures, IMRG reached a grand total of over £2 billion wasted every year.
As home shopping increases this figure will increase, unless effective measures are taken to reduce it. Parcel Safe is one of these measures.

Parcel Safe and the environment
Parcel Safe is a environmentally friendly green product. If a courier cannot make a delivery at the first attempt this means a repeat journey which not only is inconvenient but also harmful to the environment with carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. Parcel Safe eliminates the need for the courier to have to make a second attempt!

Example: If you miss a parcel delivery once every 2 weeks and live 5 miles from your depot this costs you in basic car running costs over £104 a year! This of course is plus any parking charges and your own time.

Customer Testimonials
'Excellent service, great item, very well made product'
(Claire Hennessey, Bristol)
'Great idea and easy to fit, highly recommended for all'
(David Law, Bradford)
'Quickly delivered. Great item. Highly recommended'
(Cheryl Prestidge, Cheltenham)
What a great idea! As a parcel delivery man for The Royal Mail it would certainly make my job much easier rather than having to write cards out then return the parcels to the office and then having to redeliver them again at another time....
(Trevor Watson, Royal Mail )
'I've been after one of these for years, now I can finally enjoy my weekends and not have to worry about queuing up to collect my parcels'.
(Marcia Colledge, York)
I hate getting the cards saying 'Sorry we missed you' and having to wait until the weekend to get my parcels and then having to stand in a queue in the rain and cold.Since getting my Parcel Safe I've only had one delivery that was too big for it. So far it has saved me 12 trips so I reckon it has just about paid for itself already. A really useful product!
(Ken Riby, Barnsley)
'Excellent product & service. I would recommend Parcel Safe to anyone'
(David Jackson, Staffordshire)
I installed my parcel safe last night and was really impressed. Its a good quality steel box... its not Fort Knox but you'd need a pair of bolt cutters or a very sturdy crowbar to break into it. Its very easy to install & the template makes positioning the holes very simple
(Peter Symonds)
It was quick and easy to set up and looks good too. I love the fact that it is green (in both senses of the word) as the postman or couriers don't need to make a second delivery to your house if you aren't in, and / or you don't have to go down to the depot which can be really frustrating and kind of defeats the purpose when you order over the internet
(John Rayment, Birmingham)
'Very happy with the Parcel Safe, its saved hours of queuing at the post office!'
(A Whittlestone, Barnsley)
I've had one for about six months now, and it's saved me multiple trips to the depot
(Martin Z, London)
'In the month or so that it's been on the wall it's been used on average once a week and is about the most useful thing I've bought on e-bay.'
(CP Arthur, Leeds)
We`ve had a Parcel Safe outside our house now for about 6 months, in this time it`s saved us many trips down to the local (usually busy) Post Office depot and no doubt many phone calls to delivery companies about re-delivery parcels that arrived while we were out. A fantastic idea, I just wish I`d bought one sooner!
(Barbara Shaw, Blackpool)
Excellent quality product and came with all the necessary tools to fix to the wall, Very pleased!
(Harry Thomas, Newcastle)
I have one of these boxes on the front of my house. The postman has left quite a few parcels in it, even had courier parcels left, they seem to enjoy using it.
(Mr Wilson)
