Does anyone else use or know of Hippo Boxes?

Options
I am trying to find out whether anyone else uses a Hippo Box for having parcels delivered: http://www.hippo-box.co.uk/hippo_default.aspx?pg=h1 I've found a parcel delivery service that I prefer but my husband wants me to get one of these boxes instead. So, I am trying to find out if anyone uses them or has experience of them and if so what you think. Mainly I need this for accepting a delivery from UPS 2 or 3 times a week, they have told me that as long as they can get a signature then it would be acceptable (and the gumpf says it is an 'electronic' signature) but I am trying to make sure that before spending this money it can be used with them.

Personally, I prefer to pay the receiving company for the parcel but I do appreciate having it delivered to the house would be much easier, but with this I can only have one package in at a time as the door is then locked and no more can go in there, but as he has voiced his opinion on getting it I have to consider the option (before I tell him I am right and it is not worth it, LOL) but on a serious note any info anyone can give me would be great.

A customer noted on her invoice 'please deliver to green box in garden' so someone else must use them but I specically need this for UPS deliveries really.

Thank you.
