FORT WORTH, TX – In an effort to help our customers mail gifts and greetings for the holidays, postal officials will extend window service hours at selected Post Offices, stations and branches. The extra hours will be effective on Sunday, December 13, and Sunday, December 20.
These offices will be open for full window service. “Normally, no offices are open on Sunday,” said Fort Worth District Manager Brenda Baugh, “but for the next two Sundays in December, prior to Christmas; selected main offices in our larger cities will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. This effort will help our customers with their holiday shipping needs and will help us provide better service as well.”
Extended holiday hours provide a good opportunity for customers to avoid the peak holiday retail days of Monday, Dec. 14 and Dec. 21, Baugh added. “This will reduce your time in our busy lobbies.”
Customers should check places they normally receive packages, Baugh advises. “During the holiday season, package delivery times could be as early as 6:30 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m.,” she said.
Baugh would also like to remind customers about the many services available at www.usps.com. “You can buy stamps, schedule a package pick-up, place a vacation hold, and order free Priority Flat Rate boxes, which will be delivered right to your door,” she said.
