CBU Installation in San Marcos, CA

Postal Systems installs USPS-approved Cluster Box Units (CBUs) for HOAs, student housing, apartments, and commercial properties throughout San Marcos. We design and build CBU stations that keep up with growth, higher parcel volume, and updated USPS and accessibility requirements. We coordinate layout, pads, anchors, tenant notices, and USPS inspections so your team does not have to.

  • • USPS-approved contractor for commercial mailbox systems.
  • • Local experience with HOAs and multifamily properties.
  • • Turnkey installs from site visit through USPS sign-off.

Why San Marcos properties invest in new CBU stations

San Marcos includes established neighborhoods, growing communities, and student-focused housing. As density and deliveries increase, older cluster mailboxes can quickly become a weak point for security and daily operations.

  • Existing CBUs are heavily worn, repeatedly repaired, or no longer secure
  • USPS has raised concerns about access, clearances, or equipment condition
  • New phases or buildings need approved CBU locations before occupancy
  • Student and multifamily properties need clusters that can handle parcel surges
  • Owners want CBU stations that match improvements to buildings and amenities

We help San Marcos properties move to CBU stations that are sized, placed, and built for how residents and carriers use them today.

Common CBU installation and replacement projects in San Marcos

Most San Marcos CBU projects combine equipment upgrades with smarter layouts and parcel capacity, particularly at communities with younger populations and high delivery volume.

  • Replacing legacy CBUs in townhome and condominium communities with modern units
  • Installing new CBU stations for ground-up developments and campus-adjacent housing
  • Consolidating scattered mailbox locations into better designed central CBU sites
  • Rebuilding pads and pedestals to ensure long-term stability and proper clearances
  • Adding parcel lockers adjacent to existing CBUs to handle package growth

Our proposals include layouts, photos, and clear scope so San Marcos boards and owners understand exactly how each CBU project will be executed.

How we plan and coordinate CBU installation in San Marcos

San Marcos properties often juggle resident parking, student traffic, and multiple access points. We design and schedule CBU projects to work with that reality instead of fighting it.

  • Review how residents currently access mail and where carriers park or stop
  • Study USPS requirements and any existing inspection notes tied to your property
  • Recommend CBU configurations and locations sized for San Marcos density and mail volume
  • Plan phasing so residents retain mail access while old clusters are removed and new ones are installed
  • Coordinate USPS inspection and close out any requested adjustments quickly

The outcome is a San Marcos CBU installation that feels integrated with the property and supports reliable daily mail service.
