Security and Piece of Mind for My Mail

Security has become an issue in our neighborhood lately, with things going missing from our front yard. It makes me nervous about a lot of things, not the least of which because this is our dream home. I also worry about our ability to receive mail when we need to; although many of our bills are paid online, we have a home business so a lot of important documents are mailed to us. It’s imperative that they get to us securely.

So we’ve been looking at better mailboxes. I like the idea of Blomus mailboxes because they look great and are unobtrusive. They aren’t garish and they don’t draw attention to themselves, but they securely do the job until you can check the mail. In particular, I think stainless steel mailboxes look great and can stand up to all the rainy weather we’ve been having lately.

Even though our house is older (circa 1930s) we’ve been looking at more modern mailboxes because that’s where we’re taking the look of our house. Nothing too fancy, but something that does the job for security and looks great too. It would be nice if we could have an open mailbox like I grew up with, but it’s just not feasible where we’re living.

What kind of mailboxes do you prefer?
