NORTH CAROLINA — The U.S. Postal Service Mid-Carolinas District, which includes Charlotte, NC and the surrounding area, continues to temporarily adjust operations due to recent impacts of Tropical Storm Florence. Customers are advised that normal service operations in the path of the storm have been interrupted by unsafe conditions such as flooding or impassable roads. 

For the latest information on USPS service updates, check: https://about.usps.com/news/service-alerts/.

A dedicated emergency operations team is directing efforts to carefully and thoughtfully make decisions about our operations in an abundance of caution and out of concern for the safety and wellness of employees and customers. 

As conditions improve, the Postal Service will provide additional information on restoration of service, including the delivery of mail and the reopening of Post Offices. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience.

The Post Office always is open at www.usps.com. The Postal Service’s smartphone app makes it even quicker to use the most popular functions of our website, anytime and anywhere.

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