PITTSBURGH — Post Offices will be open Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve in the Western PA District, encompassing 150-168 & 260 ZIP Code areas, to serve customer’s last minute mailing needs. However, most offices will shorten retail lobby hours and many will close by noon on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Regular mail delivery for Dec. 24 and Dec. 31 will be unaffected by the changes to Post Office retail hours.

Because Christmas Day and New Year’s Day fall on Sunday this year, Post Offices will be closed on Monday, Dec. 26 and Monday, Jan. 2, the observed federal holidays. Only Priority Mail Express will be delivered on the actual holidays as well as the observed holidays. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume Dec. 27 and Jan. 3
.
Additional Postal Service holiday information can be found at usps.com/holidaynews.

The Pittsburgh Main Post Office retail lobby at 1001 California Avenue will be open on Christmas Eve until 12 p.m. The lobby will be open regularly scheduled hours on New Year’s Eve.

Noon will be the last collection for mail deposited in blue collection boxes for Dec. 24 processing. Commercial customers are asked to check with their Bulk Mail Acceptance Unit for Dec. 24 hours of operation.

Customers may go online to usps.com or call 1-800-ASK-USPS for information about specific Post Offices. Mail should be deposited into blue collection mailboxes before noon for early pickup on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.
