INGLEWOOD, CA — The North Inglewood Station Post Office, located at 811 N. La Brea Ave., will close effective Nov. 19, 2012, under Emergency Suspension procedures after the owner of the building notified the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) that they would not be renewing the lease. The current lease expires on Nov. 30, 2012.
North Inglewood Station Post Office Boxes will be relocated to the Hillcrest Station, 300 E. Hillcrest Blvd., approximately 1.5 miles away. Post Office Box customers will retain their same Post Office Box number and ZIP Code.
There are no delivery operations at North Inglewood Station so this action will have no impact on delivery service to Inglewood residents and businesses.
Nearby locations for USPS retail service include Hillcrest Station and Westchester Station, 7381 La Tijera Blvd., both located 1.5 miles from North Inglewood Station. Other USPS locations and Approved Postal providers can be found online at usps.com.
Today's expanded retail access provides all members of the community a variety of convenient ways to take care of business as Postal Service products and services move out of brick and mortar Post Offices and into grocery stores, pharmacies, retail outlets and office supply chains. Customers can also go online to usps.com to buy stamps, hold mail when they are away, print shipping labels with postage, schedule a free package pick up and almost anything else that can be done in a Post Office.
Termination of a lease when suitable alternate quarters are not available, especially when the termination is sudden or unexpected, is considered a special circumstance and justifies an Emergency Suspension action under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 39 241.3.
