The Humble Letterbox<br />
The humble letterbox can be a quite forgettable everyday<br />
item and one that doesn’t evoke much feelings of excitement<br />
when it comes to home design. However, it is typically one of<br />
the first things people see when they arrive at your house so<br />
it’s worth selecting one that not only boasts function but form<br />
as well.<br />
Letterbox Rules<br />
Did you know that here in NZ we have specific mailbox<br />
specifications from NZ Post? Every day each of our Posties<br />
delivers to around 1,000 mailboxes, some positioned in<br />
difficult places with hard to reach slots.<br />
• Ensure the main mail slot is big enough to take several A4<br />
size magazines without needing to fold them. If you receive<br />
parcels, you should consider having a separate parcel area<br />
in your mailbox.<br />
• Your mailbox should be deep enough (from front to back)<br />
now take the length of an A4 size item so that mail can be<br />
pushed in far enough to drop out of sight securely.<br />
• Your mailbox should be large enough to hold all of the mail<br />
you receive. If you frequently receive parcels, ensure your<br />
mailbox is large enough to accommodate them, out of sight<br />
from the street.<br />
• Ideally, your mailbox will have a separate area to take<br />
newspapers.<br />
• You can still have fun with your mailbox design - just allow<br />
for the minimum internal dimensions shown in the diagram<br />
below to make mail delivery easy and safe.<br />
• Spring loaded flaps must not be fitted on mailboxes as they<br />
may cause injury to your Postie.<br />
Setting up your mailbox<br />
• Make sure your street number is clearly visible.<br />
• Position your mailbox on the property boundary, close to<br />
the footpath on the nearest flat area, in a position that is<br />
easy and safe for your Postie to access. Where your Postie<br />
delivers by cycle the terrain before and after your mailbox<br />
needs to be flat and free of obstructions.<br />
• Avoid locating your mailbox on a hill, slope, bank or up steps.<br />
• Maintain safe and clear access to your mailbox, with no<br />
shrubbery or obstacles in the way.<br />
• The height of your mailbox must be between 900mm –<br />
1200mm from the ground to the mail slot.<br />
Mailboxes for flats or apartments<br />
Outside mailboxes Groups of outside mailboxes for flats or<br />
apartments should be at right angles to the footpath or road<br />
way. The height from the ground to the mail slot must be<br />
900mm-1200mm.<br />
Inside mailboxes If you have mailboxes located inside a block<br />
of five or more apartments, they should be lockable, on the<br />
ground floor and with a common entrance.<br />
Now I just need to figure out how to hide all my online<br />
postal shopping deliveries from my husband!<br />
