Could solar-powered postbox deliver bright future for Royal Mail?
Nottingham Post
|August 28, 2025
NOTTINGHAM will be among the first places in the country to get the Royal Mail's new “postboxes of the future”.
-
Red postboxes have undergone the biggest redesign in their 175-year history, including solar panels and scanners.
They will allow customers to send and return parcels - up to the size of a shoebox - for the first time.
Royal Mail is rolling out 3,500 solar-powered postboxes as it seeks to compete with private courier delivery services and parcel drop-off lockers.
Customers can scan a barcode on the Royal Mail app to open a drop-down drawer, designed for parcels too big to fit through the letter slot.
The redesigned boxes have a separate slot for letters, as well as a solar panel to power the scanner and drawer.
