Raleigh, NC – To increase convenience and access to postal services, a new Contract Post Office with virtually all postal services is now open in Raleigh. Carlie C’s IGA of Garner Boulevard Contract Postal Unit (CPU), located at 1514 Garner Station Blvd, Raleigh will be open seven days a week – Monday – Sunday, 8 am – 9 pm.
“This office will help to increase convenience and access to postal services for customers unable to travel to the main Post Office,” said Linda Strong, Acting Postmaster, Raleigh, who will oversee Raleigh’s Carlie C’s IGA CPU. “A full line of postal products and services are available at the new CPU including postage stamps, Priority Mail Expressl® service, Priority Mail® service, special services, packaging products, and much more. We are very excited for the residents of Raleigh and the Triangle 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 Strong. “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 state are allowing us to change the way we do business, to make us available to more people 24 hours a day.”
