MARLIN, TX – The Marlin Post Office building will soon undergo renovation, requiring a temporary move to alternate quarters until work on the building is being completed. Post Office operations will move to a trailer to be located in the parking lot behind the existing Post Office facility. There will be no changes in hours of retail operation or PO Box operations as a result of the move. Customers will still be able to access PO Boxes 24/7. The move previously scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 6, has been changed to Wednesday, Nov. 14.
The temporary location will have new PO Boxes, but all customers’ box numbers will remain the same. Box holders will receive a new set of keys for the new boxes in the trailer, but their box numbers will remain the same. These customers will need to contact Officer-In-Charge Christi Davidson during regular, retail business hours to obtain a new key for their boxes. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 12 noon. Customers may pick up their new PO Box keys starting Monday, Nov. 12.
Repairs to the current PO facility are expected to take several months. No firm date has been set for completion of the project.# # #
