Student Housing Mailroom Services Built for Move-In Week
The pioneer of outsourced student housing mail and package operations since 2000 — surge-ready, resident-grade, and easy on your leasing team.
Built around the realities of off-campus student housing
Student housing isn't conventional multifamily. USPS bulk-drops at the office instead of sorting to apartment mailboxes. Move-in week brings a 5–10× package surge. Residents are first-time renters who expect text-message-fast service. And every August your leasing team is supposed to lease, renew, and run a mailroom at the same time.
Postal Solutions has been the category pioneer for outsourced student housing mail and package room operations since 2000. We design the daily workflow around the academic calendar, scale capacity for move-in, and run the mailroom so your team can focus on leases.
