PACIFIC PALISADES, CA — The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is proposing the relocation of the Pacific Palisades Post Office, 15209 W. Sunset Boulevard, to the Pacific Palisades Carrier Annex (the former Pacific Palisades Post Office) located at 15243 La Cruz Drive. The two facilities are about 125 yards apart.
If the move is approved, Post Office Box numbers and customers’ ZIP Codes would not change.
Public input on this proposed relocation is welcome. Postal Service representatives will be available to discuss the plan and receive feedback from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, 2014, at the Pacific Palisades Carrier Annex, 15243 La Cruz Drive.
Written comments are also being accepted through April 18, 2014, and may be sent to:

The reason behind this proposal is the realignment of USPS infrastructure to a 20-percent drop in total mail volume over the past three years, brought about by the diversion to electronic communication and business transactions.
The Postal Service is in a very serious financial situation. Every opportunity to reduce expenses and operate more efficiently is being considered in order to maintain universal service.
USPS does not receive tax dollars for its operations or facilities, but covers costs solely through the revenue received from the sale of its products and services.
