We typically have a different outward mailbox number than the apartment number. The latter is identified on the inside of the mailbox for the USPS carrier. We feel this is helpful for security of the mailboxes, but it’s starting to create issues when the addresses are claimed.
For those of you with the mailbox number being the same as the apartment number, are you experiencing any issues?
My properties have had the apartment numbers on the mailboxes for decades. Never a problem that I am aware of. It seems like you are solving a theoretical issue that may not really exist.
