Why El Cajon properties need dedicated parcel locker capacity

Older mail setups in El Cajon were built for letters—not daily package deliveries. Packages end up in offices, laundry rooms, and on top of mailboxes, which increases the risk of theft and puts pressure on staff.

  • Provide a secure, central location for package delivery and pickup
  • Reduce theft and “missing package” complaints from residents
  • Limit how often staff need to sign for, store, or track parcels
  • Help carriers complete their routes efficiently with predictable drop-off points
  • Support modernization efforts at communities that are upgrading amenities and common areas

Parcel lockers give El Cajon properties a clear, professional way to handle packages as volume continues to grow.

Types of parcel locker projects we deliver in El Cajon

Our parcel locker work in El Cajon covers both modest upgrades at smaller complexes and larger rollouts at communities with significant package volume.

  • Adding parcel lockers next to existing CBUs in courtyards and parking-adjacent locations
  • Building small parcel locker banks near leasing offices or main entries
  • Replacing improvised package shelves with secure lockers at older properties
  • Designing parcel locker configurations that match tight courtyards and slopes
  • Integrating parcel lockers into broader mailbox replacement or relocation projects

Each project includes a clear layout so boards, managers, and owners know exactly where packages will go and how residents will access them.

How Postal Systems manages parcel locker projects in El Cajon

We design parcel locker systems in El Cajon around the realities of the site—parking, elevations, and resident paths—while keeping USPS requirements front and center.

  • Walk the property to identify practical, visible locations for parcel lockers
  • Review USPS guidance and carrier feedback related to your existing mail setup
  • Recommend locker groupings sized to your resident count and package volume
  • Plan installation windows that minimize disruption to parking and common areas
  • Coordinate USPS inspection and help resolve any final comments so lockers can be placed into service

From the first walk-through to final USPS sign-off, you have one team accountable for making parcel delivery more secure and predictable at your El Cajon property.

FAQs about parcel lockers in El Cajon

Questions we regularly hear from boards, managers, and owners in this area.

Can you add parcel lockers without moving our existing mailboxes in El Cajon? +

Often we can. We look at how your current mail is configured and recommend parcel locker locations that tie in cleanly without rebuilding the entire mail station.

Do you coordinate with USPS on parcel locker projects in El Cajon? +

Yes. We communicate directly with USPS about locker locations and configurations, then schedule inspection once installation is complete.

How do parcel lockers help reduce theft at El Cajon properties? +

Parcel lockers remove packages from open, unsecured areas and place them into locked compartments. Residents receive keys or codes, which significantly reduces the opportunity for theft or mix-ups.

Can parcel locker work be phased at our El Cajon community? +

On many projects, yes. We can phase installation or plan temporary parcel handling so residents continue to receive packages throughout the project. We outline the plan in your proposal before work begins.
