Post Offices Open on New Year’s Eve

But Most Closing at Noon; Five Offices Closed All Day

December 30, 2009 

Release No.  HO-09-14 



HONOLULU — All but five Post Offices across the state will be open for business on New Years Eve, but 60 offices will shorten their retail lobby hours on that day. Regular mail delivery out of those offices for Dec. 31 will be unaffected by the changes.

Two small postal facilities serving Pearl Harbor Naval Base, the Tripler and Fort Shafter Post Offices, and the Kukuihaele office on the Big Island will be completely closed on New Years Eve. Those five offices do not provide delivery service.

In order to accommodate customers hoping to pick up mail after retail lobbies close on New Years Eve, most offices will have normal Will Call operations throughout the afternoon. Specific revised hours will be posted at each Post Office. To obtain the phone number of a specific Post Office, customers may call 1-800-ASK-USPS.

All Post Offices will be closed Jan. 1. Regular Post Office hours and mail delivery will resume on Jan. 2.
