Fetch vs On-Site Apartment Package Management
One model moves your residents' packages across town and back. The other keeps them in the building, logged, shelved, and ready the moment your resident walks in.
The package never has to leave the property
Off-site models like Fetch intercept parcels at a warehouse and hand them back to residents in a scheduled delivery window. That solves the leasing-office clutter problem, but it adds a leg of transit, a reroute address, and a time slot the resident has to be home for.
Postal Solutions works the other direction. Carriers deliver to your community exactly as they do today. Our team receives every parcel, logs it, shelves it by unit, and notifies the resident by text and email — so pickup happens on the resident's schedule, in the building they already live in, minutes after the truck leaves.
Off-site delivery vs on-site managed package room
| Postal Solutions (on site) | Off-site delivery model | |
|---|---|---|
| Where packages go | Delivered to your property as usual | Rerouted to a regional warehouse |
| Resident pickup | Anytime, in the building | Scheduled delivery window |
| Time to availability | Usually the same day it arrives | Next available window |
| Missed handoff | Package waits on the shelf | Reschedule required |
| Oversized items | Logged and shelved | Often excluded or surcharged |
| Who typically pays | Property-funded; can be revenue-positive | Per-resident or per-unit fee |
| Works with existing lockers | Yes — we manage overflow around them | Lockers largely bypassed |
Why on-site wins for most communities
No rerouting
Carriers keep delivering to your address. Nothing gets diverted, warehoused, or re-manifested across town.
No delivery windows
Residents pick up when they want instead of planning their evening around a scheduled slot.
Oversized items included
Furniture, water cases, and bulk grocery orders are shelved and logged, not treated as exceptions.
Notification at shelf time
Text and email fire the moment the item is logged — typically the same hour it arrives.
Built for surge
Move-in weeks, finals, and holiday peaks are handled on site instead of stacking up in a queue.
Optional ancillary income
The program can be structured as a resident amenity that adds a modest recurring revenue line.
