Expert Advice: 4C Mailboxes

Centralized mailboxes such as 4C and CBU commercial mailboxes are a strategic priority for the U.S. Postal Service but they are not only a good development for the Postal Service, they also provide many benefits to one’s city and neighborhood.

Apartment mailboxes are not all the same. They can be ordered in one of four different options: front-loading 4C mailboxes, rear-loading 4C mailboxes, CBU mailboxes (pedestal mounted cluster mailbox units), and vertical apartment mailboxes.

Mailboxes are not just a utilitarian option for your tenant’s needs. The purchase of the right commercial mailbox for your tenants can increase retention and help buoy profitability.
