The configurator is a visual tool used to tailor mailbox configurations prior to purchase in order to ensure alignment of mailboxes with your space and quantity needs. 

In the past, crafting custom mailbox designs and obtaining quotes for commercial mailboxes involved a lengthy process reliant on customers responding to a series of questions, often taking days or even weeks. However, modern customers demand a more streamlined and interactive approach to ordering. This is why Salsbury Industries integrated a cutting-edge visual mailbox configurator that puts the power of mailbox design in your hands.

Gone are the days when mailbox design drawings were manually generated during the quoting phase. Customers can now take charge and create their own custom mailbox design drawings using the mailbox configurator for both 4C mailboxes and Cluster mailboxes.

Designing 4C Mailbox Systems

USPS-approved 4C commercial mailboxes are perfect for various settings such as commercial buildings, multi-family housing, apartment complexes, government facilities, schools, colleges, and residential or commercial developments. These mailboxes are essential for new constructions and extensive renovations.

The following are customization options offered by the 4C mailbox configurator for Installation type, which determines its positioning within the space. In the configurator, select your preferred installation type from options including:

• Recessed mounted 4C mailboxes suitable for indoor and outdoor centralized mail delivery. These units are available for either front loading or rear loading delivery. 

• Surface-mounted 4C mailboxes designed for wall installation.  They can only be accessed from the front using one of the easy-opening master door panels.

Cluster box unit (CBU) mailboxes are pedestal-mounted, free-standing units that feature multiple boxes and individual parcel compartments. These are ideal for centralized mail delivery in neighborhoods, apartment complexes, business complexes, and subdivisions. The number of mailbox compartments in a Cluster mailbox installation dictates how many people will be able to receive their mail through that system.
