SANTA CLARITA, CA — Post Offices in Sierra Coastal Postal District (ZIP Codes 910-916 and 930-935)  will be open Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24, and New Year’s Eve, Saturday, Dec. 31.  Post Offices will shorten retail lobby hours and close at noon on Dec. 24, but will retain regular retail hours on Dec. 31. Regular mail delivery will be unaffected by the change.

Revised hours will be 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 12:00 p.m. will not be affected. However, boxes with final collection times scheduled after 12:00 p.m. will be picked up early. Therefore, mail should be deposited into these mailboxes by 12:00 p.m. for early pickup on Dec. 24. Customers may also call 1.800-ASK-USPS for additional information.

Because Christmas Day and New Year’s Day fall on Sunday this year, Post Offices will be closed on Monday, Dec. 26 and Monday, Jan. 2, the observed federal holidays. Only Priority Mail Express will be delivered on the actual holidays as well as the observed holidays. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume Dec. 27 and 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.
