DALLAS, TX — Many Post Offices in the U.S. Postal Service’s Dallas District normally opened on Saturdays will be open Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24, but will shorten retail lobby hours and close at noon. Post Offices will be open regular hours on New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31. Mail delivery will be unaffected.

Additional operating time changes will specifically affect the Dallas Main Post Office at 401 Tom Landry Freeway and the Dallas/Fort Worth Finance Unit located at DFW Airport, both which will close at 3:00 p.m., on Saturday, December 24.  Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office, and commercial customers are asked to check with their business mail entry units for specific information about holiday hours of operation.

Collection times on blue collection boxes will not be affected.

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.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
