Centralized Delivery Information
Effective mail service is an integral part of any community and must be given proper consideration during the planning stages – especially since unlike single family residential delivery, centralized delivery requires "common space". With an average 1.7 million NEW delivery points added each year, the USPS prefers centralized delivery mailbox installations in all new construction projects. As each community may have its own requirements, it is recommended that prior to completing any new mailbox installation plans; you should consult with your local postal authorities.Florence Manufacturing is pleased to have partnered with the USPS to develop extensive lines of approved products to meet this growing demand. Centralized mail delivery equipment can be in the form of any "clustered" type of mailbox – including free-standing, pedestal mounted cluster box units (CBU) or other cluster mailboxes mounted in a wall, kiosk or shelter.
By focusing on centralized delivery early in the project, mail service can begin during construction if needed. In addition, the cost of one centralized CBU is cheaper than the cost of the same number of individual mailboxes, takes up less space, provides a more uniform look to the neighborhood, and is the "greenest" delivery method available. Plus, the added security of locked mailboxes protects privacy and helps deter identity theft.
