As of today, Friday, January 26, 2018, Montecito postal customers can still retrieve their mail and obtain retail services at the Milpas (East Beach) Post Office located at 107 Nopalitos Way, Santa Barbara, CA 93103. Hours: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Saturday.

On Saturday, January 27, 2018, all Montecito PO Box customers can start retrieving their mail from Montecito Post Office located at 1470 East Valley Road, Santa Barbara, CA 93150. However, Retail Services will not be reopened at this location until Monday, January 29, 2018.

We would like to thank all Montecito customers as well as the entire Santa Barbara County residents for their continued patience during this ordeal.
