Florence Manufacturing Cluster Mailboxes The Postal Service Standard

When searching for outdoor mailboxes for centralized mail delivery at their development projects, most builders and developers give significant consideration to Florence cluster mailboxes due to their high quality and durability.

Cluster mailboxes (also called CBU mailboxes or cluster box units) by The MailboxWork’s Florence Manufacturing, are the highest quality and longest lasting Commercial Mailboxes for Multi-Tenant Mail Delivery on the market today.

UPDATE: 4C Pedestal Mailboxes have been discontinued as of November 30, 2020. The USPS Cluster Box Unit (CBU) Mailbox is now the standard for all multi-family mail delivery.

Official Supplier to the US Postal Service

Florence Manufacturing designs all cluster mailboxes to meet or exceed US Postal Service standards and offers them in a broad spectrum of sizes, finishes, and options.

In fact, the craftsmanship and design of Florence Manufacturing (also called Auth Florence) cluster mailboxes are of such quality, that the US Postal Service has named The MaiboxWork’s Auth Florence Manufacturing as the official supplier to the US Postal Service. In addition, the Postal Service has officially licensed the Auth Florence F Series cluster mailboxes as the standard of design for all other CBU mailbox manufacturers.

Anti-Theft Features in Florence Cluster Mailboxes

The Postal Service chose Florence Manufacturing cluster box units as the standard primarily for their design, which actively prevents mail and identity theft. This design addresses a growing societal problem that impacts consumer confidence in the US Postal Service, as many people mistake mail theft for poor delivery service. To prevent mail theft, Auth Florence cluster box units utilize aircraft grade aluminum and steel construction with a protective powder coat.

Vandal-Proof Design of Florence Cluster Mailboxes

Additionally, The MailboxWork’s Florence cluster box units are also available in a vandal proof finish for applications where high security mail delivery is paramount such as high tech corporate mail delivery or governmental mail delivery applications. And the additional costs of the vandal proof mailbox options are not significant so even apartment and business tenant units can add this upgrade to improve their mail delivery security.

Florence Cluster Mailbox Door Configurations for Multi-Tenant Properties

Choosing the right Auth Florence cluster box units for one’s project is simple; divide the total number of tenant units in one’s project by the number of desired outdoor cluster mailbox locations. For example, if one is constructing a 128-tenant apartment building and wants to provide 16 outdoor mailbox locations, then dividing 128 by 16, one would determine that each of the cluster mailbox units would need to have a minimum of 8 tenant doors.

Auth Florence CBU mailboxes are offered in the following configurations:

• 8 door
• 12 door
• 13 door
• 6 door

Pedestal 4C Mailboxes

The MailboxWorks recommends Auth Florence Pedestal Mounted 4C Mailboxes for applications needing cluster mailboxes with non-standard door configurations. Local Postal Service postmasters must approve these 4C pedestal mailboxes before installation. They offer non-standard tenant door sizes, fitting up to 29 doors per unit. Built to the highest standards, they feature durable powder coat finishes.

Cluster Mailboxes Finish

When purchasing CBU mailboxes, consider both the number of tenant doors and the desired powder coat finish. The MailboxWork’s Florence manufacturing cluster mailboxes are available in six durable powder coat finishes:

Black                    Postal Grey

White                    Forest Green

Sandstone            Dark Bronze

You can further customize the style by selecting from five different tenant door identification tags.

1. Standard silver placards numbered 1 to 8
2. Custom silver placards with up to three numbers per placard
3. Engraved numerals with no fill
4. Engraved numerals with black fill
5. Engraved numerals with white fill

Additionally, Auth Florence decorative mailbox accessories can further dress up one’s cluster mailboxes. Decorative accessories for CBU mailboxes include roof caps, finials, and pedestal covers, transforming them into architecturally pleasing cluster box units.
