BIRCHTREE Large Parcel Drop Box with Lock & 2 Keys (101cm) – Weatherproof Outdoor Metal Parcel Box, Black
Product description
At a glance
If you receive regular parcels at home, a lockable parcel drop box can take a lot of stress out of delivery days. The BIRCHTREE Large Parcel Drop Box with Lock & 2 Keys is built for outdoor use, with a steel body, a sloped lid intended to help with weather exposure, and a physical lock to keep deliveries secured.
On paper, it’s the kind of setup that suits households that shop online often, have deliveries left at the door, or want a bit more control than a basic letterbox. It also includes anti-tamper style features (described as an anti-fishing mechanism) to help deter theft attempts that rely on reaching into the opening.
That said, it’s still a parcel box rather than a fully managed delivery system—so it can’t eliminate every risk in all conditions. If you’re expecting proof-of-delivery tracking or a courier handover, this isn’t that.
What to know before you buy
This parcel drop box is designed to be used for home deliveries, covering parcels, letters and small to medium packages. It’s described as “large” and also as having 2 size options, so it’s worth paying attention to the size you’re choosing if you’re planning to fit specific package dimensions.
A practical detail is the included lock and 2 keys. That matters because you’re not relying on a code, app, or anything wireless. When you want the box secured, you close it and lock it with a key.
For day-to-day practicality, the construction is described as weatherproof for outdoor placement, with a powder-coated, anti-scratch finish and an internal protective base pad. The internal pad is a small thing that can make a difference when parcels are delivered and land on the base.
One limitation to keep in mind: since it’s an outdoor metal box, you’ll want to think about where it’s placed—ideally somewhere convenient for deliveries, but not an easy grab for anyone who can approach it.
Where it shines
The biggest selling points here are straightforward: security, outdoor suitability, and install flexibility.
- Lockable physical security: comes with a reliable physical lock and 2 keys.
- Anti-fishing mechanism: designed to help protect deliveries from theft attempts that involve reaching in.
- Weather resistance for front door or porch: durable steel construction and a sloped lid are meant to help keep parcels drier during rain or snow.
- Outdoor-friendly finish: powder-coated, anti-scratch outer with an internal base pad to cushion parcels.
- Easy installation: pre-drilled holes let you mount it as a wall mounted letter box or as a floor mounted post box.
In use, it’s exactly what you’d want for a normal shopping week: your driver drops the parcel into the opening, closes the lid, and you keep it locked for safer storage until you collect it.
How it fits your home (and when it might not)
It makes sense if you’re trying to reduce the chance of parcels being left out in the open, especially for frequent online ordering. It also suits homes where wall mounting near an entrance is feasible, or where a floor/porch placement is easier.
It might not be the best match if you live in a situation where installation is difficult (no suitable wall space, or you don’t want to mount anything outdoors). Also, if your typical deliveries are larger than “small to medium packages”, you may find the “large” label still won’t cover everything—so it’s worth double-checking the size option available.
Another practical consideration: for some households, a parcel box is only as useful as the placement. If it’s too hidden, your driver may not use it consistently, if it’s too exposed, it could attract attention. The ideal spot is usually somewhere close to the delivery path but still controlled.

Final verdict
Is it worth it?
This BIRCHTREE large parcel drop box is worth considering if you want a simple, key-based lockable solution for outdoor parcel storage, with weather resistance features and an anti-tamper style mechanism designed to deter certain theft attempts. The fact it can be mounted on a wall or placed as a post box makes it flexible for different front door and porch setups.
You may want to skip it if you need a wider package range than small to medium parcels, or if you’re not able—or not comfortable—installing a wall or floor mounted box. It’s a pragmatic security upgrade for everyday deliveries, but it’s not a replacement for tracked delivery services where a signature or courier handover is essential.
