CBU
mailboxes add value to both commercial and residential
communities. Architects plan entire
communities using these cluster mail boxes as central points of mail delivery
and mail collection.
This saves great time for mail carriers in rural areas who would
otherwise have to drive 4-12 miles in a circuit to each home in the
community. Mail carrier vehicles
use less fuel delivering mail in this fashion, and this is good for our
environment.
It
also allows all residents to have their mail delivered to their personal box at
the same time of day, so they can pick it up when they choose.
Office buildings often prefer to use these pedestal-mounted units as
USPS delivery stations because they are very economic space savers that are easy
to install. In small apartment
complexes as well, such as many that we see in California built around central
courtyard and pools.
It is
often to the advantage of the building owner to use a CBU mailbox for USPS mail
service in order to avoid having to install recessed or surface mounted vertical
mailboxes in very limited (or unavailable) wall space.
Apartments can place these mailboxes in all types of locations no
matter how small the complex actually is.
If the apartment is gated, there is no problem placing the mailbox just
outside of the front entrance by the gate.
Only residents with a key or gate card can enter the gate, and when they
walk through it, they can pick up their mail.
Then again, many apartment owners who put a great deal of money into
courtyard landscaping and pool maintenance often put the mailboxes in the center
of the complex. The many different
sizes and color options that building owners and architects can choose from
allows for an accommodation of any type of architecture and landscape
design.
CBU mailboxes are valued by both
apartment buildings and office buildings for the security they offer the end
user. Every person receives their
own mailbox compartment key. While
the compartments are all housed in a single unit shared by everyone, no one
person’s mail is accessible by another.
The
locks on these boxes minimize the risk of identity theft and also protect the
security of outgoing mail. Outgoing
mail is placed in its own, locked slot that the mail carrier can unlock with a
special key. Outgoing mail boxes
are large enough to hold large volumes of mail so multiple residents can
reliably use them.
While it has not been common for businesses to use CBU
mailboxes for internal mail purposes, there is no reason why they cannot
begin doing it now. If an office
complex has a handful of suites that encircle an atrium or courtyard, the
cluster mailbox can be used for internal mail just as it is in many small
apartments surrounding a pool-courtyard area.
Again,
this is a great way to save internal hall space and can be quite aesthetic if
the appropriate color, size, and style are selected.
CBU mailboxes
can be customized to accommodate specific needs. Parcel lockers come with each unit to
fulfill USPS regulations and to convenience the end user. People much prefer to have packages
placed in a secure box than to have them placed on the floor by the door.
Because these mailboxes are meant to stand for years outside, they
are corrosion resistant thanks to a powder coat finish and very tough paint job
that is available in a multitude of attractive color options.
