Many of our letterboxes have been designed for easy DIY install, otherwise you can contact a local handyman or tradesperson to install it for you.

These instructions will show how to install your parcel box on different mediums, as well as any tools that may be required for installation. You can also view these online.
What tools do I need to install my Parcel box?
The tools required will differ depending on not only the parcel box you have purchased, but the medium you are installing on/in. All fixings required for installation (e.g. screws) are included with the letterbox. Our Pillar parcel boxes generally require a hammer drill, 10mm masonry drill bit and spirit level for installation.
The installation instructions for each parcel box will show any tools that may be required.
Can I paint over the Parcel box?
Powder-coat – We don’t recommend painting over our powder-coated boxes, which is why we are constantly expanding our range to offer a variety of different colours and combinations to suit most homes.

Please note, repainting or customising your letterbox, may void warranty.
How do I clean my steel Parcel box?
- Start by wiping the surface gently with a wet sponge to remove any loose dirt and debris.
- Apply a mild household detergent to the surface (Choose a detergent that is free from both solvents and petroleum-based chemicals).
- Rinse the detergent off using clean, fresh water.
- Use a clean, dry cloth to pat dry the surface.
Note: Generally, it is advised to clean your letterbox every 12 months. If in a coastal location, it is advised to repeat this process every 3 months.

Numbers & Signs
How long will it take to make my custom decal/sign?
As our custom decals and house signs are made to order, they can take up to 5 business days to be completed and ready for shipping.
We appreciate your patience waiting for your customised product – we know you will love it!
What size custom decal will suit my letterbox / parcel box?
In the photo gallery under each decal page, you will see a variety of images of each specific decal installed on different kinds of letterboxes in a variety of colours to provide you with ideas and inspiration.
You can also view the ‘Complete the look with house numbers and signs’ section in each letterbox listing, to view which numbers and signs will fit that letterbox.
What size numbers will fit on my letterbox / parcel box?
Our house numbers come in a variety of finishes and sizes to suit every letterbox, ranging from 50mm to 200mm. On each letterbox listing, you can view suggestions of house numbers that we recommend for that product, however you can also refer to our extensive measurement specifications for each letterbox to assess if your preferred house number will fit on your preferred letterbox surface area.
Please note for installation onto the letterbox itself, we recommend our specifically designed ‘stick-on’ range, to protect the structure of your letterbox. The stick-on range is constructed with a strong adhesive that mounts to all our letterboxes.
Can you install my numbers/sign/decal onto my letterbox before shipping?
Unfortunately, we do not install the numbers/signs/decals to letterboxes before shipping to you.
These products are all easy to DIY install/attach to ensure that you are happy with correct placement on your letterbox. Please refer to installation instructions.
How do I install the numbers?
Stick On: Constructed with a strong adhesive, our stick-on number range is easy to install – no tools required! Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Peel off the protective backing and press it down firmly in your chosen position.
Can I remove the steel stick on numbers if I am not happy with my first placement?
If you have placed your steel number incorrectly, we recommend covering a spatula with a soft cloth or towel, and gently prying the number/s off.
Can I please add extra numbers or letters to my sign even though I am over the max limit?
Unfortunately, the character limit shown on each product is the maximum that is able to fit on that sign. We do recommend abbreviating words if needed, eg. Road to Rd or Street to St.
