Some Offices Will Close Early, Collection Box Mail May Be Collected Earlier

Ft. Lauderdale, FL - by Debbie Fetterly - South Florida Post Offices will be open Christmas Eve, Thursday, Dec. 24, and New Year’s Eve, Thursday, Dec. 31. Some Post Offices will shorten retail lobby hours and close earlier than usual on these dates. Regular mail delivery will be unaffected by the change.

Revised hours will be posted at each South Florida Post Office. Signage providing information on the nearest alternate access location where postal products and services can be obtained will be posted at locations closing early on these dates. Customers can also find information on their Post Office’s operating hours by visiting www.usps.com  under “Find USPS Locations.”

Commercial customers are asked to check with their Business Mail Entry Units for specific information regarding holiday hours of operation.

Blue collection boxes in South Florida with final collection times before 12 p.m. will not be affected by these changes. However, collection boxes with final collection times scheduled after that may be collected early. Therefore, mail should be deposited into these mailboxes by 12 p.m. 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 1.800.ASK.USPS for additional information.
