To make shipping holiday presents more convenient this year, three Santa Fe Post Office locations will offer special retail hours on the next two Sundays, Dec. 10 & 17, Postal Service officials announced today.

For the next two Sundays, the Santa Fe Post Office’s locations at DeVargas Center (534 N. Guadalupe St.), Santa Fe Place (4250 Cerrillos Rd.) and Coronado Station (2071 S. Pacheco St.) will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for customers’ convenience.

“We hope these special Sunday hours will help make the task of shipping gifts and greetings easier for our customers this holiday season,” said Santa Fe Post Office Officer In Charge Billy Fetterhoff. “We encourage folks from the Santa Fe area to take advantage of these Sunday hours and get their cards, letters and gifts in the mail early, avoiding the rush of customers we expect during the last week leading up to the Christmas Day holiday.”

USPS employees will be available at all three locations to help customers ensure their holiday packages are packed, tracked and delivered with ease. Information on holiday shipping deadlines and other mailing tips can be found online at www.usps.com/holiday.

In addition to holiday Forever Stamps, Post Offices offer Priority Mail supplies and other packing items to provide customers with added convenience. These include bubble mailers, shipping boxes, bubble wrap and packaging tape. Also available are a selection of greeting cards and gift cards, making your Post Office a one-stop shop for holiday gift giving.

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