Architectural Mailboxes 6900B Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box Black | Heavy duty aluminum locking parcel locker with pry-resistant 3-point lock and anti-theft hopper door. Porch package box.

Excellent Mailbox!! After spending a year on and off looking for a lockable mailbox solution, I finally stumbled on this Elephantrunk. First of all, it works: anything that you can fit into the white bin inside will drop consistently and will not be stuck. I can fit decently-sized packages. Secondly, the bottom has so much space for mail that it can probably hold up to 3-4 weeks of normal load mail (including junk). Thirdly, it is cute looking box with well made body and good paint. Lastly, the price is great! No need to put any ugly posts, etc. But you would need to put it on a level concrete surface or pour a small slab yourself. Install was easy too! The only negative someone can say about this mailbox is that it is not made of some thick gauge of steel. Yes, it is true but why does it need to be made of steel?! This is not intended to be a safe or a vault to store guns or cash. This is just a receptacle to get mail and some packages while preventing it from being easily visible and stolen. Mail thieves generally take only 2-3 seconds to steal mail. They drive up, open mailbox, and get what they can in hopes of catching W-2 or some other financial document. (At least this is how these thieves operate in Texas per multiple videos from security cameras). Anyways, this Elephantrunk makes it hard to steal mail. If someone really wants to, they will still break into this mailbox but it will be noisy and require them to get out of a car and spend some time getting it done... in the end they don't even know if there is anything inside... Also, if this mailbox would be made of steel, it would be very expensive and heavy to ship... So, for all the great functionality and great looks, I recommend this mailbox. FYI, I did try the biggest Epoch mailbox and returned it promptly when it couldn't even get a single piece of mail down without getting it stuck... Lol! It is made of steel but it is nearly impossible to get mail into the Epoch mailboxes... Buy Elephantrunk!

Overview: Architectural Mailboxes 6900B Elephant Trunk Parcel Drop Box Black is a strong sturdy parcel box designed to keep my packages safe from theft. Pros: Most of the Parcel Drop Box is already preassembled. I only need to install the handle and bottom feet of the container. It has a pull drop design where the delivery driver pulls the handle and places the parcel into the container. When the delivery driver close it, the package drops into a secret compartment where I can only assess it with a key. The Parcel Drop Box comes with two sets of keys. It also features a bracket to mount on the wall and it can also be bolted to the ground. It gives me peace of mind knowing that if I’m away no one would steal it. Cons: Designed only for small packages No big /wide packages can fit. Conclusion: Awesome product, I highly recommended it to everyone.

I love it no more worries about having anyone come up to my door to steal my packages. They are safe inside the locked mailbox. I purchased a sign that has all the carriers names on it and riveted it to the front. Now just got to get them to put it inside and not on top or on the side of it. Guess they can't read the sign lol. I also purchased a locking mailbox for my letters. For USPS to place inside seems like they did not want to use the elephant mailbox but oh well they look great together. Every time I hear about people losing their packages to porch pirates I wonder why they just dont get a Elephant box. It's a little pricey but well worth it , makes up for all the packages you would have lost if you didn't have one in no time. Don't wait just get one everyone should have one easy to secure down to the ground mine is sitting on my porch that is cement just need the correct size masonry bit to drill into concrete a regular drill bit will not work. Mine is as sturdy as a rock and everyone who comes over to visit complement's me about the way it looks. I will take a pic and show you or a video.

I bought a used one but was sent a mailbox with an upper damaged exterior rim. Bummed that they didn't care enough to pull that one. It's much shorter than I had hoped. Consider forming a large block of concrete to set it on (or in). Bottom lag bolt was not working right. Total pain in the butt. We attached the bolt them set the entire bottom of the box in the semi-wet concrete including the lag bolt. The mailbox won't be easily moved without taking out the large block of concrete too. The key doesn't work too well. You have to fiddle with it. You also gave to bend very close to the ground to use it if you don't raise up the box. Looks nice. Can't get your hand in to get mail out once it's in there. Watertight and fits pretty much whatever would go in a mailbox. Won't fit most mid or large-sized Amazon or UPS packages.

I’m very impressed with this box because it came already assembled plus it’s sturdy! The only thing left for me to do was tighten handle screws and to attach “legs”. Perfect capacity for packages that I order. I would definitely buy again. Now it would be wonderful if the delivery people would use it

I have been using my box for 1 week I’ve only opened it one time and the lock now want open. Also the sticker will not stay on the front and it’s only good for small packages still waiting for a call back from the company. Pay a little more and get a different one these are junk

This is a review of Architectural Mailboxes 6900RZ Elephant Trunk mailbox. I think my home has a neon sign on it that says "Please, come steal from me". Seriously, my home has been robbed (safe, jewelry etc taken), packages stolen from my front door (I know this because the police came to my door with packages addressed to me they found in a stolen car!!), and now, my mail has been stolen and the thief tried to deposit a check (luckily the bank caught on and stopped it). Because of this new mail theft, I had to change my mail delivery situation. My home was built in the 70's and had a brick column with a simple large metal mailbox in it. I went on a search for a locking mailbox. I wanted dark brown/bronze, preferably one piece, something other than the ordinary square box on a pole, and it had to hold a lot of mail and soft packages. It also needed to work with my homes modern/transitional style. I did not worry about having boxes fit in it. When the police brought back my packages, they suggested I put a box at my front door for deliveries. I found my box on amazon.com Suncast storage side table. SSW1200. That has worked like a charm, and so has this mailbox!!!! I knew the mailbox change could be a huge pain in my fanny, but it has been one of the easiest, fastest, most satisfying projects I have ever done. True perfection!! I hired a man to demo the old brick column. He then ground down the old cement support at the bottom of the demo work, and poured a new concrete pad. By the time it dried, the elephant trunk mailbox was delivered. May I just say a big YAHOO for Prime! The whole project was complete in 48 hours from the time of the theft. Could not have done it without amazon.com and this mailbox! It came in a large box and was in great condition. I did make one adjustment. Because of the rolling drum (it is like the package drop off at the post office), there isn't a place to put outgoing mail. So I found, on amazon.com of course, a heavy duty plastic pouch (Wilson Jones Clear Tabbed Envelope W61070), cut the top down, used Gorilla Tape (no girl should be without it), and taped it with the open side toward the front of the pull down. Totally fixed the problem. Got the mailman's seal of approval, and he LOVES the mailbox too!

I took it out of the box and was so easy to follow instructions. I bought a placard that says Amazon, DHL, Fed EX ,UPS, USPS, off amazon but it is not completely stuck to it. I bought a package of two signs. It stuck to front under handle and the side. But if someone wanted to peel off and reapply it works easily on this gorgeous package box. It is nice and tall. The sturdy feet can be adjusted for low to high. It has a big comfort pad so when packages land it has a soft blow. I added a piece of styrofoam under the pad. It is nice and wide inside for smaller packages. It has the ability to screw into masonry and wood through the bottom under padding. Ground for extra security. I did not do that. I am going to find a way to do it through the back. Worth the money , easy to put together. Gorgeous and classy.

On a positive note, our postal service delivered the package to our front door and waited for a response before lifting the parcel down from the delivery truck, and carried it to my front door for me (with a smile, so kudos to them). Delivery was in a very timely and professional manner. The Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box arrived in a carefully packaged corrugated cardboard box with protective packaging on the interior of the parcel, in excellent condition. The craftsmanship of the Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box exceeds all expectactions, it is sturdy, user friendly and the black satin finish is much better in person. It certainly adds to curb appeal and serves it's purpose well as a mailbox and parcel delivery box. To assist in the transition from my usual wallmounted mailbox, I have posted a typed instruction for use notice and covered my mailbox completely with this notice, so that the letter carriers will know that ALL delivery mail and parcels are to be placed inside the Elephantrunk. Conversely, although we have had no issues with mail delivery into our very spacious, sponge-lined Elephantrunk, two very small packages that AMAZON has delivered to our home have both been dropped on the front doorstep, despite the fact that any delivery person must pass by our Elephantrunk and the mail/parcel instruction notice in order to reach our front door. Since the height of the Elephantrunk is lower than our standard mailbox height, we have bolted it to 8" x 8" concrete Cinder Blocks for added security, and for ease of access. As such, although the pre-drilled bolt at the base of the trunk is suffice, it is positioned at the centerpoint of the trunk base. This mounting option is great for ground mounting, however, it would be nice to have had the option to anchor to the back legs as well for added stability when mounting on raised platforms to meet mail/parcel delivery box height standards. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our purchase and we most certainly recommend the Elephantrunk Parcel Drop Box as an addition to any home or business for added piece of mind that delivered mail and parcels will be stored safely and securely until you are able to retrieve them.

Dopo più di un anno dall'installazione posso affermare che questa cassetta postale è solida e non arrugginisce. L'ho sistemata sotto la tettoia che protegge il cancello di ingresso, in prossimità di una strada con traffico sostenuto. Non vi è mai entrata dell'acqua, né per la pioggia né per gli schizzi delle automobili. Il meccanismo di apertura dello sportello superiore, quello destinato all'introduzione dei pacchi, non permette in alcun modo di raggiungere dall'esterno il contenuto della cassetta. Proprio questo meccanismo limita però la dimensione massima dei pacchi. Per esempio, accetta senza problemi un pacco contenente quattro o cinque libri scolastici ma un atlante geografico, per via della sua maggiore altezza, potrebbe non entrare. La serratura dello sportello si è rivelata finora affidabile così come il sistema di fissaggio al pavimento. La cassetta ha al suo interno una base di gomma piuma per attutire la caduta dei pacchi. L'unico vero problema è stato convincere i postini e i corrieri ad utilizzarla, vista la scarsa familiarità nella mia zona con questi oggetti. Ma certo non è una questione che possa risolvere il suo costruttore.

De super utilidad, hasta ahora todo perfecto. Además de estar y verse muy bello!

I love the Elephantrunk, a lot. Not as much as my wife and kids but not far behind! We previously had a naff small metal mailbox on the wall in our porch and it was really easy to squeeze your hand in and get the mail without unlocking it. Added to this we buy most of our 'must-have' purchases online and we were getting fed up of wondering if we'd be in when they were delivered....so I wanted to get something which was big, strong and would take mail and parcels. There are quite a few options on the market but none that look as good or as designed as well as this. Yes it's more than a ton to buy but how much do you spend online or even on the weekly supermarket trip? It's well packaged, has simple instructions and took less than half an hour to get in-place. The anchor bolt through the bottom is extremely sturdy and I'm confident that it would withstand all but a determined angle-grinder attempt to try and nick it - but it isn't a safe, and we might notice if someone tried to power-tool it out! Remember to make sure you have a decent 16mm masonry or wood drill bit to make the hole for the anchor fitting. The drop-box part of it is really well designed, strong and feels well-engineered. The lock seems capable enough and certainly would again take some (obvious) effort and noise to try and get through. Takes loads of parcels and mail and has a great sponge in the bottom to soften landings. Also has a bar code inside the drop-box which I guess could be scanned if proof of delivery is needed - we added a label with our name and address on as well. Bumped into the postman this morning who had just put two hefty parcels through it. I asked him if it was alright and he said 'fantastic, I wish everyone had one!' - says it all really! Buy it you won't regret it!

Ein schöner Name der lässt nicht vermuten das hier nicht mal ein Schuhkarton rein passt . Okay Elefanten brauchen keine Schuhe . Für Das aussehen und den Guten Willen vielleicht 3 Sterne und Auch das e Päckchen auf Schaumstoff landen würden wenn sie rein passen.
