Mailbox accessibility enhancements
Compartment tray
A sliding compartment tray can make it easier to see and reach small packages and mail. Trays are available for most community mailboxes.
Key turner
A key turner makes it easier to insert, turn and remove your community mailbox compartment key.
Compartment change
We may be able to assign a different compartment at the requested height or position of the mailbox.
Tactile writing or braille
We can add braille and raised letters and numbers to mailbox compartments, parcel compartments and parcel key tags.
Package and mail delivery
Home delivery
For customers unable to access their mailbox, home delivery may be possible. Packages are delivered daily and mail is delivered weekly. Approval for this accommodation requires supporting documentation.
Reassigned mailbox location
We may be able to deliver packages and mail to another community mailbox that is more accessible.
How to request an accommodation
You can request an accommodation through any of the following communication channels:
Accommodations may require a request form, which will be mailed to you with a postage-paid return envelope. We’ll be in touch once we receive the completed form (we strive to reply within 5 business days).
