Best decision to buy ever

I had to color in the "deliveries" with a blue marker on both sides to be mor visible but that didn't help with people using it. I posted a sign and taped it over with clear tape "Packages inside this box" and they started using it. I also flipped the lid over and wrote "pizza here" for my pizza deliveries. The lid fits the top upside down very well like a desk top and can hold lots of weight. Not sure if the company thought about this but it works so well.

Pros
  • The box is very easy to clean and maintain, requiring only a quick wipe-down with a cloth.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for frequent use

Just what I needed.

I had had it with having my packages "disappear" from my front porch. So I bought this. This thing is ginormous. It weighs nx to nothing. UPS couldn't quite figure out what it was until I added signage to indicate that pkgs should be placed inside. I added 50 lbs of free weights to keep it in place. I signed up with USPS, UPS, FedEx delivery notification. Easy peasy, done and dusted.

Pros
  • The box is highly weather-resistant, meaning that it will protect package contents from rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
Cons
  • May not be ideal for busy neighborhoods

A Most Excellent Very Large Package Box!

I just moved to a new house that has an exposed front door porch. I order a lot online frequently and want my packages weather proof, protected and safe from theft. This package box does all that! I added hinges to the package box so the lid wont blow away (see pics) I also bolted a delivery sign atop the box telling Best Buy, UPS, USPS and Fed Ex to drop package in this box (see pics)I dropped two small weights in the bottom of the package box just to weigh it down just in case a wind storm…

Pros
  • "Deliveries" clearly marked on all sides to alert carriers to use your package box
Cons
  • Cannot be customized to match home décor

Great Box hopefully your carrier will use it!

Its great. pretty self explanatory. if you get a lot of deliveries, this can help hide things from porch pirates and protect packages from inclement weather.The word "Deliveries" is hard to see as it comes shipped to you so I ordered an enamel paint pen and colored in the letters to make it stand out better. depending on your carrier they may still miss it, so I recommend extra signage near the box. even if you do, they sometimes still ignore the box.I did add some eggshell foam to the bottom…

Pros
  • It provides peace of mind for homeowners who may be concerned about package theft or vandalism.
Cons
  • Requires significant maintenance and upkeep

Needed for every house

This box has been a game changer since quarantine. I get stuff delivered almost daily and was tired of my packages getting wet or the delivery person leaving them behind my bushes to conceal it, which is nice but the boxes get dirty and it tracks inside. Now all of my packages are secure and dry and hidden from the potential street thieves.Like others have said you will definitely need to either color in the delivery markings or post a sign on the box itself like I did.I also put a 25lb weight…

Pros
  • The box's rugged plastic material won't rust or corrode, even in harsh outdoor conditions.
Cons
  • Can be difficult for delivery drivers to locate

I’ve had this for a couple years. It’s been usually used, but not all delivery services like Best Buy allow for complete instructions to its drivers. Wish the app allowed it. So I’ve plastered signs all over it too. Never water in it. I have it under and overhang and put it up on blocks.I wish it came with a black and white sign that allowed the embossed delivery sign to actually be effective. Not sure the point of making that hard to see. Nice idea 90% done.

Pros
  • Mailboxes & Accessories
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other package boxes

Wrong color sent.: my feedback

The box is fine, but I’m guessing it will need to be weighted down as it is very lightweight like a plastic storage tote. However, it irked me that I was sent a different color than I ordered. I ordered the mocha so it would blend in on my porch, and not be super noticeable from the road. I was sent black. Had I wanted black, I would’ve ordered it. Had I been contacted, I most likely would’ve agreed to receive a different color if mocha was out of stock, but I wasn’t. So order only if are okay…

Pros
  • Its easy-to-use latch system means that it's simple for recipients to unlock and retrieve their packages.
Cons
  • Can be expensive to replace

Saved my driveway and unpaved road.

I placed this up my rural, unpaved road near the main road to keep delivery trucks from tearing up my driveway and our road. The inconvenience of stopping to check is nothing compared to having to fill ruts and fix fence damage from the trucks. Delivery folks love it, too, because getting up to my house is hard and they are not supposed to turn around so they either have to back down the drive or park downhill and walk up. I had to put some weight in the bottom to keep it from blowing over (a…

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • Not completely secure against theft

Fairly sturdy and nice looking

This seems to be a decent product, but we'll see if the package handlers don't destroy it. The top fits a bit too loose and I was afraid it would blow away so I put rubber channel gasket on the edge of the lid and now it fits snug, even with high winds we just had, the lid stayed put.This little box is roomy enough for most packages. We mounted it to our fence with a strip of wood and screws on the inside so it would stay put and not be sitting on the ground, but we have large rocks supporting…

Pros
  • The Express Box is compatible with all major delivery services, making it a versatile option for online shoppers.
Cons
  • May not work well in areas with extreme temperatures

Needs a window in the lid.

High marks for everything, even has a moisture escape screened hole near the bottom, but needs a plastic window in the lid so you don't have to open it to see if anyone put a delivery into it. Kind of a pain having to open the lid every time you come home.For you home repair buffs simply cutting a large hole in the lid and glueing a piece of plexiglass over the hole will solve that problem (Cutting the hole with a rotozip works just fine.).

Pros
  • The product is very nice but I did have to add cement slabs to add weight for windy conditions.
Cons
  • Limited color options

Light weight—Needs Weighing Down

The box worked as advertised, kept delivery items dry etc. It’s also reasonably presentable in appearance.However, in the first windy rain storm it was empty and got blown off the front entry.We weighed it down with a couple of large (clean) rocks and it’s now stable.Update: One of our grandsons replaced the rocks with a 25lb bag of sand, tightly sealed. It’s more stable and cleaner.

Pros
  • The durable plastic construction is resistant to scratches, dents, and weather-related wear and tear.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to access packages inside

Carriers drive right by it

Five stars for looks if you want to spend $50 on what is essentially a trash can with DELIVERIES stamped into the mold. One star for effectiveness. The ad claims you can register your parcel box and "the major carriers will know to utilize it.” We’ve had 10 or so packages delivered since I placed it next to our mailbox a week ago. None of our deliveries were placed in this box. My front yard (and adjacent neighbor’s yard) is just grass, a mailbox, and this box. You can see it from about 100…

Pros
  • Its spacious interior means that it can accommodate multiple packages at once, streamlining the delivery process.
Cons
  • Can be damaged by harsh chemicals or substances

Happy - so far . . .

We rent our home and I have been looking for a different larger mailbox since we moved in but haven't found one I like that would fit the space.After a recent set of thunderstorms and finding a book package left on the porch in the rain that damaged the book I decided I had to get something and this Delivery Box fit the bill.One of the features I am prompted to rate is "light weight". It is but that is not always a good thing. Being lightweight the box can be pushed or shoved way too easily…

Pros
  • Its ample size provides more than enough space to accommodate even large packages.
Cons
  • May not be accepted by all delivery drivers

Love this package holder!

We have a 1000 ft long stone driveway that goes down a hill, so we got this receptacle for oversized packages to leave up by our mailbox near the main road. it's perfect. We weighted it down with two large rocks in the bottom of it. At some point we will put a small layer of concrete in it and ditch the rocks. There's also a vent for the box to breath. I added a " Put Deliveries Here" sign on it, (purchased separately). The lid fits securely so there's no leaks and the wind has not blown it…

Pros
  • Large, easy-open lid makes retrieving packages quick and easy
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean

Worth the price! - my new review

Ok for starters i purchased this at a discounted price from amazon warehouse because it was a return/used, item arrived in perfect shape besides the bottom was scuffed up from pavement/rocks, i attached it to my gate to prevent theifs from stealing my box,ups delivered packages the other day an actually put them in my box,i did as others, filled in the deliverys letters with marker,bought both my metal signs above box and on box, on Best Buy as well,its a cute set up,thinking i night get one…

Pros
  • The box's neutral color and simple design complement a variety of different landscaping and exterior styles.
Cons
  • Not suitable for large businesses or commercial use

Nice for keeping Mail out of the weather.

Love its idea. Not the lightweight part. I did put bricks in the bottom of it as well so it wouldn't get blown away. So far the top stays on for me, I've read reviews where others had problems with the lid. I am sure if it gets blown and tumbled around the lid may have problems staying on. So far so good. Have to buy a sign or hi-light the "Deliveries" on the box because it's the exact same color of the box and makes it hard for carriers to even see that's what it is for. All n All a good…

Pros
  • Its compact footprint is also highly portable, making it easy to move and relocate as needed.
Cons
  • May not be fireproof

Secure it with easy DIY

I wanted the locking one but since it's more than double the price of this one, I decided to DIY it to make it more secure. Saving me more than $30! I bought a lock, latch, and hinges and fastened them on simply with a screwdriver. The latch is a bit big for it, but I made it work. I also took the advice of other customers and colored the letters in to make it easier to see. Finally, I put garden blocks inside the bottom to weight it down and discourage anyone from taking off with it. Now to…

Pros
  • Its durable construction means that it will provide reliable service for years to come.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to access in areas with limited street parking

Not sure how water gets into this box

We've had quite a bit of rain and that was one of the reasons for getting this box. The problem we're having is accumulation of over an inch of water in the bottom of the box, even though the lid is on. We do not want our packages sitting in water, obviously. There is a round vent at the bottom on one side and, we plugged it with plastic. Water was still getting inside. On closer inspection, we could see water dripping down the inside of the box from the top on all sides. This must mean water…

Pros
  • The 31-inch height of the Express Box means that most delivery personnel can easily reach the opening without bending or straining.
Cons
  • May not work well with certain package types

Perfectly satisfactory for my purpose

I live in a rural area, the house is a distance from the road and there's a gate at the end of the driveway, so package-delivery services cannot get to the house to drop off packages. I put this box next to the gate to receive packages because the non-USPS packages are not supposed to be put in the mailbox (even though most of the time they are). The box seems sturdy enough and has held up well so far (1 year+) even sitting in the sun. Unfortunately, it is very lightweight and would blow away…

Pros
  • The mocha color creates an attractive aesthetic that blends well with any exterior decor.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all delivery services

Perfect for Packages

I am pleasantly surprised by this box. I wasn't sure if the parcel carriers would use it but most of them do. The box has instructions on how to set your preferences with each carrier, but that is kind of a cumbersome process. UPS does not seem to have an option to deliver in this box, but like I said most delivery people drop it in there. I get a lot of books delivered to my door and it is nice to have them protected from the elements. There is a vent port on the side as well so it shouldn't…

Pros
  • The Step2 Express Box is made with high-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity.
Cons
  • Bulky and takes up space
