New solar-powered postboxes with gap for parcels

Birmingham Mail

|

September 01, 2025

ROYAL Mail is rolling out 3,500 solar-powered "postboxes of the future" across the UK, featuring a digitally-activated drop-down drawer so customers can send parcels as large as a shoebox.

New solar-powered postboxes with gap for parcels

The new design - the biggest change to the postbox in its 175-year history - was trialled in Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire earlier this year, and will now be installed in cities including Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Sunderland.
