Post office sets Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve hours

Most post offices will shorten retail lobby hours and close at noon on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, and New Year’s Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 31. Regular mail delivery will be unaffected by those changes.

Revised hours are posted at each post office, and commercial customers are asked to check with their business mail entry units for specific information regarding holiday hours of operation.

Blue collection boxes having final collection times before noon will not be affected by these changes. However, collection boxes with final collection times scheduled after noon may be collected early. Therefore, mail should be deposited into these mailboxes by noon for early pickup on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

Customers requiring postal services later on those days are encouraged to contact their local post office. Customers also may call 800-275-8777 for additional information. STAFF REPORT
