Can you send mail at a cluster mailbox

The joys of cluster mailboxes!

Yes, you can send mail to a cluster mailbox, but there are some specific guidelines to follow:

1. Addressing: When sending mail to a cluster mailbox, use the following format:
   • The recipient's name
   • The cluster mailbox number (e.g., "123-456")
   • The street address or apartment number (if applicable)
   • The city, state, and ZIP code
   • Example: "John Doe, 123-456, 123 Main St, Anytown, CA 12345"
2. Cluster mailbox numbers: Each cluster mailbox has a unique number, usually displayed on the mailbox itself. Make sure to use the correct number when addressing the mail.
3. No PO Box: Cluster mailboxes are not considered PO Boxes, so you cannot use a PO Box number as the recipient's address.
4. No special handling: Cluster mailboxes are treated like regular mailboxes, so you don't need to specify "cluster mailbox" or any special handling instructions.
5. Delivery: The mail carrier will deliver the mail to the cluster mailbox, and the recipient will retrieve it from the mailbox.

Some additional tips:

• If you're unsure about the cluster mailbox number or the recipient's address, you can contact the local post office or the recipient directly to confirm.
• If you're sending mail to a cluster mailbox in a high-rise building or a complex with multiple buildings, make sure to include the building name or number in the address to ensure accurate delivery.
• Keep in mind that cluster mailboxes may have limited space, so large or bulky items may not fit. In such cases, consider using a different delivery method, like a package delivery service.

By following these guidelines, you should be able to send mail to a cluster mailbox successfully!
