To make shipping holiday cards and presents a bit easier this year, 16 Albuquerque area Post Office locations will offer special weekend retail hours – including four locations that will be open the next two Sundays, Dec. 11 & Dec. 18, Postal Service officials announced today.
“We’re opening on the next two weekends to make holiday shipping more convenient for our customers this holiday season,” said Albuquerque Postmaster Reece Steelman. “We strongly encourage our customers to take advantage of these special hours and get their cards, letters and gifts in the mail these next two weekends to avoid the rush that will come on the busiest mailing day of the year, Monday, Dec. 19.”
