Pompton Lakes, NJ — The Pompton Lakes Post Office is inviting customers to experience convenience they can drive up to at the drive-thru retail window. The drive-thru window is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and offers most of the products and services postal customers purchase regularly.

“We added drive-up retail services to make it easier than ever to purchase stamps and conduct postal business” says Postmaster of Pompton Lakes, Stephen Jankowski. The Postmaster also adds “In the last few days we have been experiencing record cold temperatures, and none of us were expecting snow, all the more reason for parents with small children and seniors to take advantage of this unique way to conduct postal business.”

Pompton Lakes is 1 of 2 Post Offices in New Jersey offering this drive thru convenience; the other office is located in Emerson, here, in Northern New Jersey. The Pompton Lakes drive-thru retail window is located on the right side of the landmark Post Office at 47 Lakeside Drive. For added convenience customers will also find a collection box for depositing mail up to 5:00 p.m. at the end of the drive-thru.

“It's all about making it easier than ever for customers to take care of their shipping and mailing needs,” emphasizes Postmaster Jankowski. “Of course, we'll be more than happy to welcome our customers when they visit us inside the Post Office.” “They can expect the same friendly, courteous service they've come to rely on” concludes the Pompton Lakes Postmaster.
