BRONX, NY — In interest of the safety of our employees and customers the Mosholu Station Post Office located at 3464 Jerome Avenue in the Bronx will temporarily suspend operations for a period of approximately six months.
This retail service suspension begins Friday, April 2, 2010 and is prompted by the necessity for structural damage repairs. For the remainder of this week, (only) PO Box customers may pick up their mail at the Williamsbridge Station Post Office, located at 711 East Gun Hill Road.
Bronx Postal officials indicate that two postal vans –serving as Post Offices on Wheels -- will be stationed at the front of Mosholu Station beginning Monday, April 5, 2010. The vans will operate between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday. One truck will be used primarily for postal transactions, offering standard services such as stamps, acceptance of small packages and envelopes, Priority mail, and Special Services. While the other van will be used for Post Office Box mail distribution. Customers picking up their PO Box mail will need to present valid identification for each individual receiving mail at the box.
