HAGERSTOWN, MD—To increase convenience and access to postal services and products, residents in the Hagerstown area have more choices when it comes to fulfilling their postal needs.

A new Contract Postal Unit (CPU) opened at Halfway Postal Services in the Snippin-N-Clippin Salon, located at 17621 Virginia Avenue, Hagerstown MD 21740.

A grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 5 at 11:00 a.m.

Customers can purchase stamps, mail letters and packages and purchase nearly all mailing services — including both domestic and international — at the same prices available at Post Offices.

“The CPU will provide a full range of postal service and products with the exception of money orders, says Hagerstown Postmaster Craig Miner. The Snippin-N-Clippin location is another way we’re extending our services to our customers and making it more convenient to do business with us,” added Miner.

Hours of operation at the new retail postal location are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The community is invited to attend the Grand Opening ceremony. Light refreshments will be served.
