NEW YORK, NY — Postal officials are excited to announce the expansion of service hours at the Automated Postal Center (APC) located in the Grand Central Station Post Office. Grand Central joins three other APC locations in Manhattan that have recently added Sunday service hours.

The APC in Grand Central Station will be open to serve customers on Sundays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mailers, shoppers and shippers can enjoy extra hours to ship when they visit this Post Office and with the holidays right around the corner, having an extra day to ship is sure to add customer convenience.

“Automated Postal Centers provide easy access to postal products and services just as ATMs provide easy access to banking services,” said Raschelle Parker, manager of Marketing for New York District. “To customers, one is a self-service bank, while the other is a self-service Post Office. Unlike many ATMs, APCs don’t add transaction fees. Beyond expanding customer access, the APC enables our customers to conduct business with us at their convenience, even on a Sunday!”

Grand Central Station will offer the following APC hours of operation:

Using credit and debit cards, the APC enables customers to:

• Buy self-adhesive stamps.
• Weigh, calculate and purchase postage for items weighing up to 70 pounds.
• Send items via Express Mail, Priority Mail and First-Class Mail, as well as by Parcel Post.
• Purchase insurance up to $500.
• Look up ZIP Codes and obtain mailing information.
• Obtain Express Mail, Certified Mail, and Return Receipts.
• Purchase Delivery Confirmation service, known as tracking.
• Make a PO Box Payment.

"The APC in Grand Central joins three other Manhattan Post Offices that have expanded Sunday APC service hours just this month, Lenox Hill at 217 E 70th, Gracie at 229 E 85th and Empire at 16 W 33rd
Street.
