Chapel Hill, NC – To increase convenience and access to postal services, a new Contract Post Office with virtually all postal services is now open in Chapel Hill. The Eagles Contract Postal Unit (CPU) at Chapel Hill, located at 11620 Highway 15-501N, Chapel Hill will be open six days a week – Monday – Friday, 8 am – 7 pm and Saturdays 10 am – 4 pm. It is one of 19 CPUs in the Triangle Area, all serving as convenient alternatives to traditional Post Offices.
“This office will help to increase convenience and access to postal services for customers unable to travel to the main Post Office,” said Debra Wiggins-Wooten, Postmaster, Chapel Hill, who will oversee the Eagles CPU. “A full line of postal products and services are available at the new CPU including postage stamps, Express Mail® service, Priority Mail® service, special services, packaging products, and much more. We are very excited for the residents of Chapel Hill and the Triangle-area community at large.”
The Postal Service has re-engineered the entire Contract Unit Postal program to better answer the needs of postal customers nationwide. “The Postal Service is continuously tasked with finding smarter and more efficient ways to reach our customers,” said Wiggins-Wooten. “Our Automated Postal Centers, our CPUs, our online services at www.usps.com, and our face value stamps at major retailers (Food Lion, Harris Teeter, CVS, etc) throughout the city and state are allowing us to change the way we do business, to make us available to more people 24 hours a day.”
The CPU can be reached at 919-969-6688. A list of other CPUs throughout the area is listed below and online at www.usps.com, and “Find Locations.”
