The Postal Service has made changes to the Postal Operation Manual regarding the ratio of parcel lockers in apartment buildings. Previously, the requirement was 10 apartment units for each parcel locker, but now it has been changed to 5 units per locker to handle more packages. Public comments on these changes were invited through the Federal Register from December 18, 2020, to January 19, 2021, but no comments were received. The updated manual can be accessed online for more details.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service decided that apartment buildings need more places to store packages. Before, they had one locker for every 10 apartments, but now they need a locker for every 5 apartments, making it easier to handle more packages.
