Cites that the Postal Operations Manual Part 631.32 currently permits delivery to individual curbside boxes in detached residential developments, grouped two to a property line where possible.

Argues that centralized mailbox units are costlier to install and maintain, aesthetically detract from developments, are less convenient to access, cause more mail damage or loss, and create conditions conducive to criminal activity.

States that individualized curbside delivery has traditionally provided safe and efficient mail service and that centralized boxes shift costs to consumers while compromising their finances and safety.
