Which parcel box size is right for you?
A quick guide to choosing the right secure, keyless parcel box for how you shop — and where you’ll put it.
A parcel box only does its job if it fits the way you actually receive deliveries. Too small and it overflows on a busy week; bigger than you need and you’ve paid for space you’ll never fill. This guide breaks the choice down to a couple of simple questions, compares the three sizes side by side, and points you to the right one.

Start with two numbers
Choosing a parcel box really comes down to two figures. The first is the biggest single parcel it takes keyless — the largest item a courier can place in the receiving drawer with no key or code; we give this as a maximum parcel size (in centimetres) for each box, so you can check it against what you usually receive. The second is how much it holds in total, because parcels add up if a few arrive before you collect them.
A box can have a generous total capacity but a smaller opening, or the other way around — so it’s worth matching both to how you shop. The three sizes below are built around exactly that: a bigger opening and more storage as you go up.
Compare the three sizes
Medium
From $599 · box only
- Best for Couples, apartments and smaller households.
- Largest parcel, keyless Up to 30.5 × 21.5 × 17 cm (11 litres) — satchels, shoeboxes, smaller cartons.
- Total secure storage 28 litres — a few parcels between collections.
- Mounting Wall, ground, or post.
- Colours Charcoal, or Light Grey (while stocks last).
Large
From $799 · box only
- Best for Busy households and regular online shoppers — the all-rounder.
- Largest parcel, keyless Up to 40 × 21.5 × 29.5 cm (25 litres) — most everyday online-shopping cartons.
- Total secure storage 60 litres — a busy week of deliveries.
- Mounting Wall, ground, or post.
- Colours Charcoal, Off White, or Light Grey (while stocks last).
Extra-Large
From $1,199 · box only
- Best for High-volume homes, businesses, and shared or strata buildings.
- Largest parcel, keyless Up to 51.5 × 36.5 × 33 cm (62 litres) — large cartons and bulky items. Australia’s largest keyless parcel letterbox.
- Total secure storage 160 litres — stacks of parcels, or more than one household.
- Mounting Wall or ground (heavier unit, around 43 kg).
- Colours Charcoal or Off White.
Which one sounds like you?
A few parcels, smaller home. If it’s mostly the occasional delivery and you’re tight on space, the Medium covers you without taking over the entrance.
Regular online shopping, busy household. For weekly deliveries and the odd bigger carton, the Large is the comfortable all-rounder — room to spare on a normal week.
High volume, business, or a shared building. If parcels pile up, you receive big cartons, or several people share the box, the Extra-Large gives you the most storage and the biggest keyless single-parcel size in the range.
Still weighing it up? When in doubt, size up — a box that’s never quite full beats one that overflows. You can browse all three on the Parcel Boxes page.
Do you need to send as well as receive?
Every parcel box receives keyless — no key or code for the courier. If you also send or return parcels (handy for online sellers or frequent returners), the Parcel Box + Pickup Box adds a separate send compartment secured by a combination lock — you set the code, and can change or share it whenever you like. Receiving stays keyless; sending is yours to control. It comes in the same three sizes.
Where will it go?
Medium and Large can be mounted on a wall, set on the ground, or fitted to a post, so they suit most front yards, porches and entrances. The Extra-Large bolts down to the ground or mounts to a wall, as it’s a heavier unit. Want it built into a fence, brickwork or a custom surround? A Built-In Frame gives the box a neat, integrated, built-in finish — frames fit the flat-roof models.
