INLAND EMPIRE — To ease the hustle and bustle of getting your holiday shipments in the mail, select Post Offices throughout the Inland Empire will be open for full retail services on Sunday, December 17, 2017. With the week before Christmas anticipated to be the busiest week of the year, the Postal Service wants to ease the stress for customers needing to get their shipments on the way.

All offices listed above will also offer notice left parcel pick up until 5:00 pm on Sunday, December 17.

As a reminder the San Bernardino Processing & Distribution Center, 115%0 W. Redlands Blvd, will extend its Monday through Saturday hours from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm through December 21.

Nearly 3 billion pieces of mail, nationwide, are expected to be processed and delivered during the week of December 18-24. Traditionally, what used to be the busiest day of the year has morphed into the “busiest week,” largely driven by an increase in e-commerce growth.
