The Benefits Of A Wall Mount Mailbox

Did you know that since 1923 the U.S. Postal Service has required every household to have a mailbox or letter slot?

Since then, the common mailbox has undergone many changes in design and size requirements. People have experimented with fence mount and post mount mailboxes as well as collection mailboxes. 

However, perhaps one of the best mailbox options available to homeowners is the wall mount mailbox. 

Wall mounts are installed on the house’s exterior, usually to the wall near the front door. While post mount mailboxes used to be more common, wall mounts are becoming more popular due to their many benefits.

Keep reading to find out why you should consider a wall mount mailbox!

Wall Mount Mailboxes Provide More Security

More than 700 million pieces of mail are delivered by the U.S. Postal Service every day. A perhaps more surprising fact is that more than 10,000 arrests are made on average each year for mail theft or possession of stolen mail. 

How can you prevent being a victim of this neighborhood crime?

One easy way of doing this is by keeping your mail close to home… literally! Mailboxes that are anchored directly to your home are at less risk of being stolen from or vandalized. 

Potential mail thieves are more likely to target an easily accessed mailbox, such as a freestanding postal box or the post mount at the end of your driveway. 

With their close proximity to your home, wall mounts provide more security than the average mailbox.

They ensure your mail and, more importantly, your identity, stay safe!

They’re Way More Convenient

Another huge benefit of wall mounts is their convenience.

Imagine being able to collect your mail without leaving the comfort and privacy of your front porch.

Really, the ease of access these mailboxes provide is priceless. Because let’s face it, no one wants to hike all the way down their driveway to get the mail on a hot day. 

People with post mount mailboxes or neighborhood collection boxes will especially appreciate how easy getting the mail becomes when the box is mounted right outside your front door.

Wall Mounts Are Unique and Customizable

One of the main reasons why wall mounts are so popular is that they add a unique touch to the exterior of your home. They allow you to recapture that retro, small-town America vibe, back when mail slots were more common.

Standard wall mount mailboxes are rectangular, but you can also get models that are square. Many models have a decorative outer shell for added aesthetic appeal. Finally, wall mounts come in a variety of durable materials, from plastic to iron. 

With countless box styles to choose from, you’re sure to find a model that complements your house’s design. 

Rather than going with the default mailbox that came with your house, opt for a unique mailbox that sets your house apart from your neighbors’.
