Centralized Mail Delivery
Residential Applications
Centralized Mail Delivery provides delivery and collection services to a number of residences from a centrally located installation.
Benefits to developers, builders, and owners who use Centralized Mail Delivery Installations include:
Increased Security: Centralized Mail Delivery installations provide a greater degree of protection against mail theft and mailbox vandalism than unlocked mailboxes.
Additional Postal Services: Centralized Mail Delivery installations can provide additional services for residents, such as postage stamp vending machines, parcel delivery equipment, and letter collection boxes.
Other Advantages: Customer compartments in Centralized Mail Delivery equipment are large enough to accommodate several days' accumulation of mail, thereby eliminating the need to have mail held at the post office during short periods away from home. Centralized Mail Delivery installations can also reduce risks to letter carriers from common hazards such as unleashed dogs and poorly maintained sidewalks. (PICTURES NOT AVAILABLE)
Centralized Installations
Neighborhood Delivery Centers: A Neighborhood Delivery Center is a free-standing, sheltered or enclosed installation containing a large number of individually locked, wall-mounted mailboxes.
Cluster Box Units (CBUs): CBUs are free-standing, pedestal-mounted mail boxes containing 8, 12, 13, or 16 individually locked mail boxes and parcel compartments. Installations can be modified to blend with any community decor.
Although planning for basic or customized Centralized Mail Delivery installations for residential communities should take place during a project's design phase, the Postal Service is anxious to work with developers, builders, and owners at any stage of development. (PICTURES NOT AVAILABLE)
