About this directory record

Prepare for SHELTON CARRIER ANNEX

The facility record comes from a Freedom of Information request supplied to Precision. Its collection date is unknown. Local phone lines, contact names and weekly hours have not been independently refreshed.

The same street address, city, state and ZIP5 matched the public USPS PostalPro locator on 2026-10-07. The displayed ZIP+4 and fax use that locator response. It lists this office as SHELTON CARRIER ANNEX (PREMIER). The locator phone, 1-877-672-0007, is separate from the historical local line above. View the official record.

Optional county and local audience context

The market figures describe a planning geography associated with the directory location. They do not define the facility’s service territory or current mailing customers.

The complete local evidence

Naugatuck Valley Planning Region, Connecticut · County · 2024 ACS 5-year estimates (2020–2024). These survey estimates describe a market; households are not deliverable addresses.

Home-service audience

77,222 owner-occupied homes were built before 1980 (62.5% of owner homes).

For a repair or maintenance offer, investigate current owner addresses and property condition. Housing age alone does not establish a need for work.

Family-oriented offer

53,817 households include children under 18 (29.9% of households).

For childcare, activities or household services, compare routes or a verified household audience. This is a household estimate, not a list of families.

Offer and price fit

79,320 households report annual income of $100,000 or more; median household income is $86,191.

Test the price point and offer against your actual customers. Do not combine the income share with ownership or family shares to invent an overlapping audience.

Address freshness

9.5% of residents age 1 and over moved during the preceding year.

Use current address hygiene and an eligible change-of-address process. ACS mobility is a multi-year estimate, not a current new-mover feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using the SHELTON CARRIER ANNEX

Are the SHELTON BMEU hours current?

The displayed weekly hours come from the FOIA directory; the collection date is unknown. The public locator does not provide hours. Call (203) 922-7720 to confirm current hours, holidays, lunch closures and acceptance cutoffs before visiting.

Do I need an appointment?

Confirm appointment and drop-off procedures directly with the office. The directory does not establish its current appointment policy.

Do the local business counts show who uses this BMEU?

No. Census County Business Patterns counts employer establishments in a county. It does not measure facility customers, mailing volumes or which industries use direct mail.

Where should I take an EDDM Retail mailing?

Use the USPS EDDM route tool and its mailing instructions to determine the correct Post Office for the selected routes. A BMEU directory listing does not establish that it is the correct EDDM Retail acceptance office.

What should I confirm for a commercial mailing?

Confirm piece eligibility, quantity, sorting, address quality, payment and permit requirements, documentation, containers and the entry location for the rate you intend to claim. Precision can help prepare a specification-based campaign plan.
