How do apartment communities in Boston outsource package management?
Apartment and student housing communities in Boston, MA outsource package management to Postal Solutions, which manages an on-site package program at the property 3 to 6 days a week, on a schedule matched to carrier surges. Packages stay on the property instead of going to an off-site warehouse, and the program works with your existing lockers or package software, or with no package system at all. Boston properties typically get back 16 to 30 leasing-office hours per week.
The business case for package room service in Boston
Renewals lift when packages just work
Resident-experience surveys consistently rank package handling in the top 3 friction drivers behind move-outs. A managed, accountable package room directly defends NOI.
Reclaim 16–30 team hours / week
Your leasing and maintenance teams typically lose hours each week to package questions and lost-package recovery. Outsource it and redirect that time to leasing.
Same-day pickup, not next-day
Off-site package services add a full day of waiting. A managed on-site program means same-day pickup, closer to the resident's Amazon expectation.
Luxer One® lockers when ROI fits
Where the volume, layout, and capex justify it, we install and service Luxer One smart lockers as a Premier Partner — but lockers alone don't manage the program or resolve exceptions. The service does.
Managed on-site program vs. off-site package services
- Same-day pickup at your Boston property

FAQ — Package Room Management in Boston
How do apartment communities in Boston, MA outsource package management?

Packages stay on the property instead of going to an off-site warehouse, and the program works with your existing lockers or package software, or with no package system at all.

What does the managed package room program include in Boston?
Postal Solutions manages your Boston community's package room program 3 to 6 days a week, on a schedule matched to your carrier surges. That covers every carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, DHL), chain-of-custody standards through your existing package software, resident text and email notifications, and same-day pickup readiness. Mail management runs daily.
How is this different from an off-site package locker service?
Off-site package services hold packages at a warehouse and force residents to wait a day (or longer) and travel to pick them up. A managed on-site program means the package arrives at your Boston property as normal — and is ready for the resident the same day it lands.
Will this free up my Boston leasing team?
Yes — that's the primary ROI. Properties typically reclaim 16–30 team hours per week that the leasing and maintenance teams were burning on package questions and exceptions. That time gets redirected to tours, renewals, and the resident experience.

No. The managed program works with or without lockers. Where volume, layout, or capex justify it, we sell, install, and service Luxer One indoor and outdoor smart lockers as a Premier Partner since 2016 — but the service is the core offering.
