Wrightsville, GA – Today, the U.S. Postal Service implemented a temporary suspension for the Wrightsville Post Office building, located at 8648 S Marcus St., Wrightsville, GA 31096. This suspension is due to recently discovered facility issues.

While the Wrightsville Post Office is under a temporary suspension, retail, collections, and P.O. Box services will be provided by a mobile unit located on the premises of the Wrightsville Post Office. Wrightsville customers can conduct normal retail transactions, such as purchasing stamps and mailing packages. P.O. Box customers will be able to pick up their mail at this mobile unit as well. The blue collection box at this Post Office will remain in place and in service. Hours of operation for the mobile unit reflect no changes to the current schedule of: Monday- Wednesday, Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Thursday 8:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The mobile unit will be closed on Sunday.

Delivery operations for Wrightsville will be temporarily relocated to the Sandersville Post Office, located at 205 W Church St., GA 31082. Currently, there is no timeline for resumption of postal operations at the Wrightsville Post Office building. However, postal management is confident that most postal customers can be serviced by the onsite mobile unit.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience to our customers. The safety and well-being of both customers and employees is of the utmost importance to the Postal Service. We are working to resolve this issue, and will provide a status update to our customers once a thorough assessment has been completed.

Customers can call 1-800-ASK-USPS or go to the Postal Service’s website at www.usps.com to find locations of other nearby Post Offices and approved postal retail service providers.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
