All Post Offices nationwide will be open New Year’s Eve, Fri., Dec. 31, but most will have shortened retail lobby hours and close at noon. Mail delivery for Dec. 31 is not affected by the change.
Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office and commercial customers are asked to check with their Business Mail Entry Unit for Dec. 31 hours of operation.
Customers may go online to usps.com or call 1-800-ASK-USPS for information about specific Post Offices. In addition, mail should be deposited into blue collection mailboxes before noon for early pickup on Dec. 31. Customers requiring postal services later that day are encouraged to contact their local Postmaster.
Post Offices will be closed Sat., Jan. 1. Express Mail only will be delivered on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day in most major metro areas. Post Offices will be open regular hours on Mon., Jan. 3.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
