[Vision2020] Postal related question

[g. crabtree]

I'm not certain what you have in mind exactly but, all new developments in Moscow utilize CBU's (cluster box units) for mail delivery. Each individual box is locked and there isn't any way to put anything in it unless you have the USPS delivery key to open up the back for daily delivery (only postal personnel do) or the individual key for any given box. There would be no way for someone who was distributing tracts or ads to access a whole group of boxes. There is no such thing as a master key for the individual user locks. I don't know about the law regarding the exact situation you laid out but, I deal with rental management and mailboxes on a near daily basis and I have a very difficult time envisioning the scenario you present. The manager would have to show up with a box full of keys and deliver to each unit individually. If you are going to the trouble and expense of putting on postage, why not let the USPS deal with the hassle?

  If anyone knows:

  If you live in an a development that is "managed", and have a mailbox unit that is used and divided for each unit addressee's mail delivery, does the management have the right or ability (legally) to PLACE mail in any of those unit's box, even with a stamp on it?  In other words, put a stamp on the mail but don't mail it, just place the piece of mail in the box.....anyone know if that is violating U.S. Mail regs?

  I know when we did delivery of things like newspapers and flyers, we were repeatedly told we had to totally avoid placing them in the mailbox or risk a heavy fine or charge of violating a federal reg.  

  Thanks in advance if anyone can help with this.
