Smaller through-door/through-wall drop boxes typically list internal volumes around 0.59–0.74 cubic feet and have narrow slots sized for phones, envelopes, and small parcels. Larger parcel delivery boxes offer substantially more space—for example, one model measures about 17.5" × 17.5" × 34" and includes explicit weight-capacity specifications.
Many models include multiple weather-protecting features: rainproof designs or large shields/flaps and drainage holes to shed water; rust-resistant or powder-coated finishes; construction from galvanized steel or cast aluminum; and protective feet or rubber pads to help keep contents dry.
Weights vary by style and size: smaller through-door/wall units are roughly 7.9–13.5 pounds, while larger parcel or freestanding cast-aluminum boxes can weigh up to about 39 pounds.
Smaller drop/door boxes use a narrow slot sized for phones, envelopes, and small parcels. Dedicated package delivery boxes include a larger parcel compartment with greater interior volume, interior cushioning pads, and lockable front doors to secure larger shipments.
Typical security features include combination locks or keyed lockable doors (some models supply keys), interior metal baffles or anti-theft boards to prevent fishing, and anchoring options such as cables or bolt-down/ground-mount bases.
Available installation styles include through-door and through-wall drop boxes, wall-mount units, and freestanding/ground-mounted or floor-standing parcel boxes with bolt-down/ground-mount options.
Commonly included items are instruction manuals and installation hardware (screws, expansion bolts/tubes, M4 screws), locks and keys or combination locks, anchoring cables or wire rope, silicone mesh mats or removable cushioning pads, and protective foot pads for outdoor units.
Manufacturers commonly use rust-resistant powder coatings, scratch-resistant surfaces, and powder-coated finishes on galvanized steel. Cast-aluminum construction is also used on some models for corrosion resistance.
