USPS Approved Cluster Mailboxes

Salsbury Industries is officially licensed and authorized by the U.S. Postal Service to manufacture Cluster Box Units (CBU's.) The Salsbury Standard Cluster Mailbox and Regency® Decorative CBU Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV, Type V, Type VI and Outdoor Parcel Lockers (OPL's) are all licensed and approved by the U. S.

When you set up your Cluster Mailbox the local post office will install an "Arrow Lock." This lock is used for the local post master to open the unit and deliver the mail. When the U.S. Postal Service delivers a package to the parcel locker, a parcel locker key is placed in the recipient's mailbox. Once the recipient opens the parcel locker, the key is automatically retained in the lock until it is removed with the USPS control key.

Secure Cluster Mailboxes

Salsbury Cluster Mailboxes offer a secure solution for mail delivery in both residential and commercial developments.  Salsbury CBUs include steel bar-reinforced doors, anti-pry latches, and arrow locks for controlled access. Outgoing mail is also protected with anti-fishing bars and heavy-duty locks to prevent tampering. The parcel locker key capture system ensures the key remains secure until the lock is properly engaged, reducing the likelihood of keys being lost or stolen. Designed for durability, Salsbury CBUs feature interlocking seams and an anchored pedestal secured with four concrete bolts, providing theft resistance and stability even in harsh weather conditions.

Cluster Mailboxes Questions

Questions & Answers

What is a cluster mailbox?

A cluster box unit (CBU) mailbox is a freestanding, pedestal-mounted mailbox that consists of multiple mailbox compartments and parcel lockers that can lock individually. The United States Postal Service (USPS) will deliver mail and parcels to the mailbox compartments and parcel lockers.

How do cluster mailboxes work?

The mail carrier has a master key to an Arrow Lock that allows them to access all compartments at once. After delivering the mail, the mail carrier will lock the CBU up and each tenant will retrieve their mail from their individual mailbox compartment and their packages from the parcel lockers with a key.

How much do cluster box units cost?

Salsbury cluster box units cost as low as $1,835.00.

Are cluster mailboxes owned by the USPS?

back to top

Are CBU’s weatherproof?

Salsbury’s durable and corrosion-resistant CBU’s are constructed of heavy-duty aluminum and stainless steel hardware with a powder coated finish that will stand up well to harsh weather conditions. One compartment in each Salsbury CBU mailbox is labeled “Outgoing Mail” and includes a weather protection flap.

What are the benefits of cluster box units?

It is a lot more efficient for a mail carrier to deliver mail to one centralized location instead of delivering from house to house. Consequently, CBU’s provide the USPS with both time savings and significant fuel-efficiency on their postal vehicles. With CBU’s, the USPS also reduces labor costs as each mail carrier will be able to more efficiently deliver their mail. Cluster mailboxes are more secure than individual curbside mailboxes. Multiple safety features protect against mail theft. Each tenant is assigned a mail compartment that is secured with a heavy-duty cam. An anti-fish plate on the rear of the outgoing mail slot helps block the tampering of mail.

What is centralized mail delivery?

Centralized mail delivery is a mail delivery system in which the mail carrier delivers mail for multiple residences at one central location.

Do CBU’s meet ADA guidelines?

Salsbury Industries’ 3300 Series Cluster Box Units and 3300R Series Regency Decorative cluster mailboxes include mailboxes and lockers that fall within ADA height requirements.

What are parcel lockers?

A parcel locker is a lockable compartment designed to hold packages that will not fit in a standard mailbox compartment.

back to top

How do parcel lockers work on cluster box units?

Parcel lockers are included with cluster box units, either alongside them or integrated. When a mail carrier is unable to fit a package into a standard mailbox compartment, they will place your package in a parcel locker. The carrier will then leave the key to the parcel locker in your mailbox. (If you look up the USPS tracking number for your package online, you will see a message “Delivered to Parcel Locker” when your delivery arrives.) To get your package out of the parcel locker, you simply need to use the key the mail carrier has left in your mailbox to unlock the parcel locker. The key will have a tag that indicates which locker contains your package. Once you have unlocked the parcel locker and retrieved your package, the key capture system will secure the parcel locker key in place so that it can’t be removed. Only a USPS mail carrier will be able to remove the key with a master key. If you’re still unsure of how parcel lockers work, consult this helpful video.
