Curb delivery may only be provided with prior approval from the Postal Service if the carrier can efficiently, safely, and conveniently service the mailbox from the carrier’s vehicle and if the customer can safely and easily access the mailbox.
Apartment house delivery requires that mailboxes be located reasonably close to the entrance in vestibules, halls, or lobbies. The carrier must also be able to service the boxes without interference from swinging or open doors. Consult with your local USPS Growth Manager early in the design process to ensure you select an appropriate location for the apartment building mailroom.
