LONG ISLAND CITY — To make the holiday season a little more manageable the Long Island City Main Post Office has extended package pickup hours by opening their doors on Sunday’s now through December 20, between the hours of 10:00am an 2:00pm.

Postal Officials recommend taking advantage of the weekend package pickup hours which accommodates customers who may have ‘missed’ their Mail Carrier during an attempted package delivery – and instead received a form PS-3849-Reminder Notice “Sorry We Missed You” (Attempted Delivery Notice).

Please note Sunday hours only apply for package pickup service inside the post office lobby at the service door.  Retail counter services remain their usual business days and hours.

Add package pickup to your regular Sunday routine – like picking up fresh baked rolls from the local bakery or those warm buns and hot ‘cup of joe’ from a favorite coffee shop.
