GREENSBORO, NC – The U.S. Postal Service offers after-hours service for last minute tax filers on April 15 via seven Automated Postal Centers (APC) throughout the Triad Area. The APCs are self-service kiosks available 24 hours a day at selected offices, offering many postal services and products to customers using credit or debit cards.

Due to rising costs of operations, no Post Offices will be open for extended hours on April 15. However, all Post Office retail counters will be fully staffed during regular business hours. Postal customers and tax filers are encouraged to mail their tax returns early and before closing.

The Postal Service will cancel every piece of First-Class Mail that was deposited correctly before the closing time of their local Post Offices to ensure every U.S. taxpayer’s return is postmarked with that all-important April 15 date. After closing time, if customers need their mail postmarked for April 15, they must purchase the postage from one of the Automated Postal Centers to get credit for the day’s postmark. Mail deposited after the closing time and without the postage from the Post Office or APC will not be credited with the postmark of April 15.

Following is a list of Automated Postal Centers in the Triad Area.
