You make a good point Jerry about form/function for these specific boxes.<br>
I'm not sure what the right answer is.<br>
<br>
Currently they are in the process of converting ALL c.1,400 existing meter boxes to accept parcels, but to quote from their blog: "Following the launch, Royal Mail will assess the prospect of adapting and updating pre-existing letterboxes to the parcel postbox format."<br>

How this would happen is anyone's guess!<br>
