WICHITA FALLS, TX — The U.S. Postal Service would like the season to be merry and bright for our customers this year. To help with the hustle of the holiday, we are working around the clock to provide a variety of shipping and mailing options for customers.
The Wichita Falls Morningside Station will provide postal customers convenient holiday retail hours on Sunday, December 18.
While the Postal Service recommends getting Priority Mail packages and First-Class letters and cards in the mail by Tuesday, Dec. 20, to reach addressees nationwide in time for the Christmas Day holiday, the Sunday retail hours offer convenience for customers who need the weekend to finish their holiday shopping and shipping.
“Getting the mail to us early in the day Sunday will speed the processing and delivery of Wichita Falls area customers’ holiday mail,” said Wichita Falls Postmaster John Pezzano. “In addition, there will be delivery of packages in the metro area on Sunday to help get holiday gifts to their recipients promptly.”
The Wichita Falls Morningside Station located at 3107 5th St., Wichita Falls, TX 76301 will be on Sunday, December 18 from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM. This office will provide full retail services, including stamp sales and package acceptance.
In addition, many Wichita Falls area Post Offices have self-service kiosks available 24/7, where customers can buy postage and ship small- and medium-sized parcels using a debit or credit card. Customers can look up kiosk locations and even purchase postage online by visiting www.usps.com. More information on locations and hours of operation can be found at www.usps.com under “Find USPS Locations” or at https://tools.usps.com/go/POLocatorAction!input.action.
For expected delivery of holiday mail and packages by Dec. 25, the Postal Service recommends keeping the following mailing and shipping deadlines in mind:
Dec. 16 – Military APO/FPO/DPO Priority Mail Express
Dec. 20 – First-Class Mail Cards and Letters
Dec. 21 – Priority Mail
Dec. 23 – Priority Mail Express
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
