Wall mounted Mail boxes: See What You Have
Been Missing!
My Grandmother and her neighbors look forward
to checking their wall mounted mail boxes everyday. It never
really dawned on me how difficult it was for Grandma to make
the trek to her mailbox each day. When she sold her home and
moved into an assisted living apartment complex, the mail boxes
were situated quite a way from her doorstep.
One rainy morning when I stopped by for a visit
and she asked could I walk to the mailboxes and mail a letter.
Walking up the steep incline from her home, I realized what a
relief having a more conveniently located mailbox would mean to
her.
I got busy right away and searched out wall
mounted mail boxes that could be attached right outside my
Grandmother's front door. I was very pleased to find a wide
range of choices available. My Grandmother enjoyed tremendously
picking out a mailbox and could barely contain herself until it
arrived!
She bragged to all her neighbors what a smart
grandchild she had for coming up with such a clever solution.
Soon her friends were enquiring just where they could purchase
wall mounted mail boxes as well!
My Grammy's next-door neighbor has a grandson
who is in the military and he meets me often at my
Grandmother's door when he sees me stop by to ask if I will
check his mail as well, especially if it is raining.
We have many relatives who live all over the
world, and receiving cards and letters from our scattered
family members is a tremendous joy for my Grandmother. My
Granny is like the glue that bonds us together. One thing I
discovered since my Grandmother's move to the retirement
village is that older people really enjoy receiving mail!
Wall mounted mail boxes became the talk of the
town in the retirement activities center where Grandma lives. A
big selling point for the retirees was security. Many of the
elderly were concerned about their packages being secure from
theft. They were assured by the fact that their mailbox could
be locked.
Another concern for everyone that has mail
delivered to his or her home is identity theft. Unfortunately,
it has become a constant worry that someone could obtain
personal information from our own mailboxes! While we are away
working all day or on vacation, an unscrupulous person can open
our mail such as credit card offers and apply for credit in our
name!
With wall mounted mail boxes, there is no
reason to be worried about anyone reading or stealing your
mail. In addition, there is no more trekking to the mailbox in
inclement weather because it is in an optimum place, right
outside your door on the wall.
Everyone can benefit from wall mounted mail
boxes. The boxes are sturdy and attractive. The boxes add to
the outdoor décor of your homes. They can be viewed as an
extension to your personality by choosing a unique style that
no one else in the neighborhood will have, unless you tell them
where to purchase one!
My Grandma and her neighbors are all very
pleased with their purchases. The only complaint so far as been
that the mail only runs once a day. The boxes have turned a
daily ritual into an enjoyable treat for them. They asked me to
pass along the message, to please write so the mail carrier can
fill up their wall mounted mail boxes!
