Installation

  • What qualifies as a commercial mailbox system

    A commercial mailbox system is designed for shared use by multiple recipients. These systems are commonly used in condominium associations, HOAs, apartment communities, office buildings, retail centers, and other business properties. They differ from residential mailboxes in construction, capacity, and intended daily use.

  • Do you install mailboxes for new construction projects

    Yes. Commercial mailbox installation services are available for new developments as well as existing properties. Installation planning takes into account the number of users, property layout, and how the mailbox area will be accessed daily.

  • How is mailbox placement determined

    Mailbox placement is based on site conditions and practical use. Walkways, lighting, visibility, surface materials, and delivery access are all considered. Proper placement helps prevent congestion, access issues, and future relocation needs.

  • Are installations handled by appointment

    Yes. All installation services are provided by appointment. This allows time for site review, planning, and preparation before work begins.

Repair

  • What types of mailbox issues can be repaired

    Common repair issues include misaligned doors, sticking compartments, damaged locks, access problems, and stability concerns. When the mailbox system is structurally sound, targeted repairs can often restore functionality.

  • How do I know if repair is a good option

    Repair is typically recommended when issues are isolated and the overall system remains in good condition. An assessment helps determine whether repair will provide a reliable outcome or if replacement would offer better long term value.

  • Can repairs be completed without replacing the entire system

    Yes. Many mailbox problems can be addressed through focused repairs without full replacement. This approach can extend the life of the system and reduce costs when replacement is not yet necessary.

Replacement

  • When is replacement recommended

    Replacement is often recommended when mailbox systems show extensive corrosion, repeated failures, outdated designs, or no longer meet capacity or accessibility needs. Replacement may also be required during property renovations or layout changes.

  • Does replacement include removal of old mailboxes

    Yes. Replacement projects typically include removal of existing mailbox systems and preparation of the site for the new installation.

  • How disruptive is mailbox replacement for residents or tenants

    Replacement projects are planned to minimize disruption. Appointment based service and clear coordination with property managers help reduce inconvenience and keep users informed.

Sales & Product

  • Do you sell commercial mailboxes without installation

    Yes. Commercial mailbox sales are available with or without installation services. This allows flexibility for clients who already have an installation plan or contractor in place.

  • How do I choose the right mailbox system for my property

    Selecting the right system depends on the number of users, location, exposure to weather, and long term usage expectations. Reviewing these factors before purchase helps avoid mismatched equipment.
