    Smart parcel box recommendation

    Looking for a smart parcel box, any recommendations?

    Need a parcel box to take unattended deliveries, Amazon parcels, etc, preferably with notifications once the box is open and something is dropped inside.

    It’ll be attached to the front of the house so WiFi connectivity is a distinct possibility.
    I’ve seen some parcel boxes where the alert is generated from the courier but only if they form part their network.
    Would rather the parcel box perform the notification.

    Any recommendations?

    Get a wife or manservant to do the mundane life stuff while you are out minting it
    Word of warning though - wives can be a longer term wealth destroyer based on others experiences

      you can do as the big corporate does, get one from abroad without a visa and deport her just before she reaches the time for settlement.

        Get NLadyUK in. She never fails to inform me when there have been a couple of deposits in her box.

          and she has capacity for larger parcels!

            Any box will do. You just need to add a sensor that connects via wifi to a GSM home security system. It can be configured to send a text when a sensor is activated. You can have different messages for front door, internal door/s, letterbox fridge door etc.

              Someone tell NLUK he will get a text when someone uses NLyUKs back door!

                Can you just get a new doormat? As you can see, they seem to work quite well.
