Florida | Arden residents push back against proposed mailbox change

"LOXAHATCHEE, Fla. — Residents in Arden have been facing significant mail delivery issues, with many claiming they haven't received any mail for months. ... “You created this problem, fix it,” expressed John Shaw, a frustrated resident, as he pointed blame at the developer Lennar. Shaw highlighted the confusion surrounding the mail delivery situation: “You see all of these mailboxes along the street, and none of them will get mail. Even the new construction around the corner has mailboxes.”

Shaw and other residents have been persistently asking both the United States Postal Service (USPS) and Lennar for explanations for months regarding the prolonged lack of mail delivery. ..."This is false advertisement putting these mailboxes out here leading the residents to believe, and any new buyers that are coming here, that their mail will be coming here," Shaw stated. When asked if moving residents were informed about the cluster mailboxes, Shaw replied, “No, never mentioned.”"
