SAN FRANCISCO — With Monday, Dec. 19 being the busiest mailing day, the U.S. Postal Service is inviting its customers to get a jump on mailing their holiday cards by dropping them in a blue collection box on Sunday, Dec. 18, instead. This mail will be picked up during a special collection added to the schedule that day to help the Postal Service stay ahead of the rush.
Customers are reminded that they have the opportunity to ship their holiday packages and conduct other postal business at several Post Offices in San Francisco that will be open for their convenience on Sunday, Dec. 18.
