A design for modern living

Let’s be honest, the humble letterbox is a relic of the past. Over 160 years after its invention, it’s barely changed, yet the way we shop has been transformed beyond recognition. Gone are the days when our postie mostly delivered letters and bills. Now, parcels rule the day. E-commerce has taken over our doorsteps, and in the UK, it’s bigger than ever.

Half of all shopping in the UK now happens online. As of 2024, that’s a staggering 5 billion parcels delivered every year. And it’s not slowing down. 85% of UK consumers shop online, compared to less than 50% across Europe. Most households get at least one or two parcels every single week. The convenience is amazing, but there’s a catch.

Most deliveries arrive between 8 am and 6 pm, right when many of us are at work or out. Couriers, often tasked with dropping off up to 300 parcels a day, leave them with neighbours or in “safe” spots that aren’t all that safe. The result? Parcel theft is on the rise, costing UK consumers £376.6 million in 2024 alone.

And it’s not just frustrating, it’s expensive. Failed deliveries cost the courier industry around £1.6 billion a year. Plus, every missed delivery means more fuel, more journeys, and more CO₂ emissions. By 2030, failed deliveries could add an extra 25 million metric tons of CO₂ to our atmosphere every year.

Clearly, the old letterbox isn’t cutting it anymore. We need a secure, tech-enabled solution that works with our lifestyles, not against them. That’s where DeliveryBoxx comes in.

The birth of DeliveryBoxx

In 2020, London-based interior architects Mark Cooper and Gianni Barberi spotted a huge gap in the market. Traditional outdoor parcel boxes were bulky, unsightly, and often limited in capacity. Most importantly, they didn’t integrate with the home.

With online shopping booming and smart home technology advancing, Mark and Gianni had a vision: a stylish, secure, built-in parcel delivery system that could accept unlimited parcels, sign for them when needed, and be fully controlled from your phone.

Five years of research, design, and testing, alongside trusted UK manufacturing and supply chain partners, led to the launch of DeliveryBoxx. And the result is exactly what modern homeowners have been waiting for.

Why DeliveryBoxx is a game changer

DeliveryBoxx is installed through your wall, meaning no bulky storage boxes taking up space outside. From the street, you’d barely notice it. It’s discreet, stylish, and available in various colours to suit your property’s look.

Parcels go straight into your home, safe from rain, heatwaves, or freezing conditions. That makes it perfect for everything from fresh food to sensitive medicines or aerosols. And unlike a traditional box, once your parcel is inside, no one can see or access anything else that’s been delivered.

Even in a power cut, DeliveryBoxx stays locked. And thanks to its clever design, it can handle an unlimited number of parcels. If it fits through the slot, it’s in.

Beyond receiving parcels

With DeliveryBoxx, sending returns is just as easy as receiving packages. Place the item inside from your home, schedule the collection through the app, and when the courier arrives, you can open the box remotely. The system records the return as proof of transaction, giving you peace of mind.

The DeliveryBoxx app (available for iOS and Android) puts you in full control. You can manage deliveries from anywhere, add multiple users in your household, and even use the onboard scheduling assistant to automatically accept parcels at specific times.

The app also keeps a record of every delivery, complete with notifications and alerts. You can even use two-way audio and video to communicate directly with couriers, adding an extra layer of security and convenience.
