NEWBURY PARK, CA ― The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is making it easier for Newbury Park residents and businesses to take care of mailing and shipping needs with a new Contract Postal Unit (CPU) now open inside Burt’s Pharmacy, 2333 Borchard Road, Newbury Park CA 91320.   

This convenient location in the heart of town provides full-value service six-days-a-week: Monday through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

A CPU offers postage stamps and Postal Service products and services at the same price one would pay at a regular U.S. Post Office. There is never an additional service fee at a CPU.

A grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting ceremony with postal and City officials will be held Friday, Sept. 19, at 10 a.m. The local community is invited to stop by and see their new USPS mailing and shipping location and enjoy some refreshments.

Customers can ship domestic and international Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express packages, mail Certified letters with Return Receipts, and, of course, buy the latest postage stamps and drop off mail ― almost anything that can be done at a Post Office can be done at a CPU, and for the same low price.

The Postal Service is expanding convenient access to postal products and services when and where our customers want them. Many local grocery stores, pharmacies, bank ATMs and office supply stores sell postage stamps — the top transaction at Post Offices.

There is also a Post Office ready to provide service 24/7 in any computer with Internet access — at usps.com. Look up ZIP Codes, buy stamps, print package labels and download postage, schedule a free package pickup ― even arrange to have mail held when away! Do it all online without ever leaving home or office, any time of the day or night.
