BENEFITS FOR RESIDENTS

Why Are Tampa's Residential Communities Upgrading to Centralized Mail Delivery?

Discover why so many property managers, HOAs, and new developments in Tampa are implementing USPS Standard cluster styler mail delivery delivery equipment.

Learn about the many benefits of centralized mail delivery below.

Discover the Benefits of Centralized Mail Delivery

  • Multiple deliveries per stop results in faster service for customers due to less time per delivery stop, resulting in lower costs – the Postmaster General’s office estimates that door delivery costs the USPS about $353 per address each year while curbside delivery costs $224, and centralized delivery equipment $160 per address.
  • Larger compartments hold several days’ worth of deliveries without rolling or folding the mail, and convenient built in package lockers eliminates the need to be home or at the office during services hours – reducing extra trips to the Post Office® to retrieve items.
  • Highly visible centralized mail centers are safer than isolated delivery locations for residents and help provide greater protection from mail theft and mailbox vandalism.
  • Locked and secure mail collection saves residents trips to the Post Office® or collection boxes and protects contents from the weather better than unsecured receptacles.
  • Eliminates curbside “clutter” with more efficient use of space beautifying neighborhoods.
  • Builds stronger neighbor relationships and trust as residents meet and talk while retrieving their mail – increasing community collaboration and awareness.
  • Costs less to install per resident than individual mailboxes and mail delivery can often begin even before residences are occupied.
  • Centralized mail locations reduce risks to letter carriers due to unleashed dogs and poorly maintained sidewalks.
  • Fewer vehicle stops results in lower vehicle maintenance costs.

  1. 1
    Develop a Preliminary Concept
    Start planning as early as possible to ensure dedicated space allowance, sufficient mail and package storage, and that all key requirements and specifications are met. If your project includes single- and multi-family residences in a development, start involving other stakeholders now — especially the USPS.
  2. 2
    Contact a Tampa Florence Dealer
    Partner with one of our Authorized Tampa Dealers (listed above) and local USPS Growth Manager to determine delivery locations, adequate space, and appropriate mail equipment for a renovation or new build. Together, you'll need to understand local Tampa building codes and accessibility requirements for compliance.
  3. 3
    Finalize Your Mail Center Plans
    Work with your local authorized Florence Dealer to select the right products and finalize your drawing plans. Plan ahead for USPS inspection and commencement of mail delivery. Once your mail center installation is complete, you’re ready to schedule USPS to install master locks and to start receiving mail!
