An Alternative to Stebler: Custom, Installation Included, and Guaranteed Compliance
Stebler is a recognized Swiss benchmark for its design and smart parcel lockers. If you're looking for an alternative, it's often for one of three reasons: a different budget, the need for integrated installation by the manufacturer, or the desire for a local contact in French-speaking Switzerland who handles everything. Here's how Helvabox positions itself differently.
What Stebler Does Very Well
Let's be fair. Stebler boasts decades of industrial expertise, sophisticated design, and a connected range (s:yourbox) designed for parcel management. For a premium project that values brand, aesthetics, and embedded technology, it's a solid choice widely distributed in Switzerland.
An alternative only makes sense if it addresses a specific need that this positioning doesn't cover, and that generally involves installation, proximity, and local custom solutions.

For Whom Helvabox is the Right Alternative
An alternative is only relevant for a specific need. Here are the profiles for whom a local manufacturer-installer clearly makes a difference.
- — You want a single point of contact: The same company manufactures and installs. No coordination between separate sales and installation teams, and sole responsibility for the compliance of the result.
- — You manage a building or property portfolio: Compliance audit, coordinated battery replacement, and multi-building quotes. See the property management section.
- — You value a local artisan: A reactive manufacturer established in French-speaking Switzerland who travels to measure, install, and provide follow-up, rather than a remote order.
- — You want to understand the standard: A written compliance guarantee and clear explanations of the Postnorm, rather than a product delivered without support. Understand the standard.

FAQ
Is Helvabox cheaper than Stebler?
The two operate on different bases: Stebler positions itself on industrial premium, Helvabox on local custom solutions with installation included. The price depends on the material, finish, and installation; we work on a quote basis to guarantee a fair and firm price, without unnecessary options.
Can I replace an old Stebler battery?
Yes. We replace any existing battery, regardless of its original brand, either identically sized for quick replacement, or by redesigning the entire unit if the installation was no longer compliant or poorly placed.
Do you also offer parcel lockers like s:yourbox?
We integrate shared parcel compartments into our building mailbox units: the postman deposits, the tenant retrieves with their key. The approach is custom and adapted to your lobby, rather than a standardized connected product.
