Adding Mail Boxes in 16-Unit

My first deal was a 16-unit and one thing I missed in the due diligence process was that no mail boxes existed.  I paid to have these added as I felt this was a "general expectation".  The USPS has to do this, they are free standing, and much more than I thought (over $3,000).  Based on feedback, improved communication, etc I believe this was the right move.  Anyone else dealt with this and how do folks draw a line on what is a nice to have versus an expectation?  I just did not feel it was right to have to have a PO Box to get mail especially in an Amazon world.
