Honolulu – All but nine Post Offices across the state will be open for business on Christmas Eve, but 73 offices will shorten their retail lobby hours on that day. Regular mail delivery out of those offices for Dec. 24 will be unaffected by the changes.

Two small postal facilities serving Pearl Harbor Naval Base, the Hickam, Tripler, Fort Shafter, Laie and Nanakuli Post Offices on Oahu, and the Kukuihaele and Hawaii National Park Post Offices on the Big Island will be completely closed on Christmas Eve. Those eight offices do not provide delivery service.

The Honolulu Airport Post Office will be the last to close on Christmas Eve, at 4:30 p.m.

In order to accommodate customers hoping to pick up mail after retail lobbies close on Christmas 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 Dec. 25. Regular Post Office hours and mail delivery will resume on Dec. 27.
