Need suggestions!

All 4 walls have mailboxes. We do have package lockers below the mailboxes and on one wall. They can only be used by USPS. The table is moveable and USPS uses the table when they are distributing mail. The room is about 12'x15'. The table does not give a mouth clearance if turned the other way.

    Do outdoor lockers serviced by all. Also makes life easier for residents.

    I would suggest looking in to Fetch instead of doing lockers. Fetch recieves the package in their local warehouse and then delivers right to the resident’s door at a time when they are home. Hardly any additional package wait time (nearly none - seriously). They deliver packages of small and very large sizes.

    Can you remove table and put lockers floating in middle. USPS does REQUIRE a table. Sure it’s nice. But not required.

    Show us a picture of this space just after Prime day. I’m guessing you need another room…🤷🏼‍♂️

    Get a smaller table that allows for it to be turned the other way. Put some large lockers in the middle. Or possibly outside this room.

    Oof yeah given the amount of mailboxes that’s a pretty decent size community. Especially during the holidays that room would be filled within a few days. I also suggest Fetch.
