Florence CBU Mailboxes

Here are some things to consider when selecting CBU Florence commercial mailboxes:

• Will the Post Office be distributing the mail directly to each box?
• Or will someone in the building, such as a mailroom attendant, distribute the mail?
• How many doors will you need in total?
• Do you need a parcel locker?

Answering these questions will help you narrow down your choices. If USPS delivers your mail, your CBU mailboxes must be fitted with a proper Postal Master Lock so that the mail carrier can gain immediate access to all mailboxes.

Private Distribution Mailboxes

Auth Florence makes an excellent line of front and rear loading 4C mailboxes and 1600 Series and 1700 Series horizontal mailboxes for private mail distribution. If your office building, college dormitory, or multi-tenant building does not require USPS servicing and will have private mail distribution, the 1600 and 1700 Series Florence horizontal mailboxes come with anywhere from 21 to 72 doors and between 7 and 12 door units high!

Private distribution 4C mailboxes are not serviced by USPS and are made for multi-tenant complexes where a mailroom manager services the mail. This private distribution Florence commercial mailboxes are available with up to 29 tenant doors.

All multi-tenant Florence commercial mailboxes have a master door that lets the mail carrier open one door and distribute mail to all the tenants at once. They also have a mail slot so people can drop off outgoing mail for pickup.

Florence Vertical Mailboxes

Generally used in smaller multi-tenant buildings, vertical mailboxes are front-loading 4B+ compliant mailboxes that can be fully recessed mounted or surface mounted. These mailboxes have strong compartment locks and tamper-resistant master doors for high security. Although they meet USPS security standards, vertical mailboxes can only be used as replacement mailboxes for renovation projects.
