FLINT, MI — After a public meeting held August 24, 2015, and careful review of all comments received, the U.S. Postal Service has made a decision to relocate retail services previously housed at the Flint Downtown Station, 601 S. Saginaw St., Flint MI  48502, to 400 S. Saginaw St., Flint MI  48502.

During the public comment period, there appeared to be a consensus that it was important to maintain a Postal Service retail presence in the downtown area. The Postal Service’s goal was to locate and establish a new customer service location close to the previous site.

Renovations have begun at the new location with a proposed opening set for May, 2016.

The lease at the previous downtown location was terminated in July, 2015. In the interim, secure P.O. Boxes are located in the 400 block of S. Saginaw St., parking lot Flint MI, 48502, which is one block south of the University of Michigan Pavilion. 

For customer convenience, a temporary mobile service vehicle to provide retail services is also located at the same P.O. Box site, Monday thru Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

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