No! They are now charging you to get packages delivered. Even IF that's something you can afford, you should not do it out of a general protest. And as others have pointed out on Reddit, it's probably illegal to charge someone to get their US Mail. And they are going to be going INTO your unit to bring you the packages whether you are there or not. HELL NO.

From another Reddit post just a week or so ago:

Should have listened to the online reviews 🤦‍♂️
Moved to the Art House (1st st) earlier in the year. They recently auto enrolled everyone on a new super inconvenient delivery system. The rules:
Change your address to the their other building a block away. Need a package to match your license? Tough luck
Packages will be taken from the other building to ours
A person will deliver each package to everyone’s unit. They have a key and will open the door.. without anyone’s consent.
If a package arrives after 2pm it’s delivered the next day. -wanna get it sooner? Pickup is 5-7pm Monday thru Friday. Missed it on the weekend and you’re screwed.
If you get more than 30 packages a month or weights more than 30 pounds you get charged a an extra fee
Service is $30 per person (on top of amenity fee and high rent). Plus the extra fees from the previous point
No liability
If a package is delivered to our building (you didn’t change your address), it’s picked up and moved to the other building, then back to ours under the rules I described earlier.
You can’t unenroll from this system
They’re doing all of this for operational reasons and the environment. Nothing to do with leechin
