CleverMade Parcel LockBox S100 Series: Secure Package Delivery Box with Reinforced Steel Construction, Waterproof Digital Lock and Porch Anchoring System for Online Shopping Deliveries, Grey

I purchased the Cream Parcel Lockbox S100 series for $61.60 delivered. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for this price. Expected maybe paper thin tin can and a lock that could be popped my hand. To my surprise, the quality is a solid 9 out of 10. Someone will have to work hard to get into this vault. Porch pirates will likely move on to the neighbor. It assembles relatively easily and includes all the hardware and you only need a #2 Philips screwdriver to assemble it. It is designed to be mounted on to the a deck or concrete and would be cumbersome to work the keypad with it that low and on the front. My idea is to mount it to an exterior wall so it will be higher up (note you have to provide standoffs to mount it this way do to the lid when opened) or another idea is to mount it on posts which would allow it to be with the mailbox. It opens with the provided keys or the keypad. The keypad that came with my unit turned out to be faulty. It took what seemed like forever to program it and also takes multiple times to open once set. Sometimes touching a key will register and others it does not. So I called customer service and I will be damned if they didn't answer immediately! I spoke with Jordan who was very professionally and pleasantly began to help troubleshoot which really amounted to trying different batteries. So I proceeded to demonstrate the issues I was having. The keystrokes chime when they register and it does make error chimes when something goes wrong so all she needed was to hear. Took 4 tries to get it opened but it did finally open (opens very nice and smooth). She heard that and immediately asked if she could ship me a new lock and keypad assembly. No need to bother with returning the old one. This kind of service is unheard of these days. Especially when you are already getting a premium built product. Pairing the two usually means a much higher cost. I will follow up once I get the new lock assembly but I have good faith all will be good as this experience so far has been.Update:Only 5 days later (including the weekend) and my replacement part came.They sent me the whole front panel so I wouldn't have to mess with the lock mechanism, breaking it's seal and possibly allowing it to leak. Accolades CleverMade!Before tearing apart the box to replace the panel, I tried out the keypad. Works flawlessly. Keys respond as they should. Code was easy to program and use. Box opens with the code, as it should. I suggest some white paint over the * key so it can easily be seen. Once the pad illuminates, it's easy to read.The experience has been VERY refreshing! Thank you.Another note to other users, if you have read some of the complaints about how easy it is to remove the bottom panel and take the contents, this is non-sense. Unless you are rural, I highly doubt anyone is going to take the time to remove all those screws, for everyone to see. This will take a little time. Time is not something thieves like. They want fast and easy. If you are still concerned, fill the screw slots with glue or something like that so now the screws cannot be removed and it's highly unlikely you will ever need to remove them again.

I almost expected to be disappointed after having read some reviews on this but man I knew from the time I opened the box I was going to love this thing. I found it plenty sturdy for the use intended as well as other uses (more on that in a minute). Let's get to some of the concerns that had me concerned that some people didn't care for.1. Screws stripping. I didn't strip a single screw. If you know how to use a drill well, it won't be a problem!2. If you take the screws on the bottom out, the bottom will drop out. Completely true! I decided to get some short self tapping screws and drilled them in various places, including the bottom to not only make this sturdier but prevent the bottom from being removed on the outside. I also put a few in the super strong hinge (had to drill pilot holes). This thing is a tank now!3. It takes a long time to put together. Well I did it with modifications in under 30 minutes by myself.Finally, I drilled two 1 1/4 in holes in the back to augment the very reason I bought this. My son is going to college and this will be his Dorm safe. Clevermade could shave half the height off this and sell it for the same price and they would make bank selling this as a dorm safe. For my son, this will be more than enough room to secure valuables and personal items away from prying eyes and opportunistic thieves.Even as it is without modifications, they even included the masonry bit and cement screws for securing this thing to concrete.....that is service!Great Great Product and at the price of $65 shipped...it is a steal!

So let me say, that some damn porch pirate decided to steal two packages from me inside a week, and I knew I needed to take drastic action. I purchased a couple of cameras, and this thing, and whoa I am glad I did.First let me say, its heavy, but you want it to be. I didn't have much trouble assembling it. But I have assembled a lot of stuff, I can understand if someone with little experience assembling things has an issue. Remain calm, follow the instructions.This thing really works, and I am super happy that I purchased it. Granted, it seems like a lot of money, when someone stole the equivalent of a $20.00 worth of stuff from me. But it will pay itself off in no time, in peace of mind, and in security, knowing your package is safe.I made sure to get a sign to let people who deliver know that packages go inside this thing. I have only had one delivery guy appear dumbfounded, and since I had my cameras I could see him on the porch trying to open the thing, and went out and saved him embarrassment.The pin pad, well that was annoying to setup. The instructions are written out fine, just make sure you read and memorize the method for entering the pin to save for the first time. It took me like six times to get it right, because they don't give you much time. You basically have to enter this thing flawlessly, or do it again until you do. And its not something straightforward like hit one button, enter new pin, hit another button.So be aware, if this is for a someone that had memory issues, or even issues with pressing buttons, they may need some help getting the pin setup.Other than that, this has been one of the best purchases I have ever made.
