CANTON, TX — The violent tornadoes that roared through the East Texas area over the weekend did not impact mail service.  All Post Offices are open for business.

In those locations where roads are impassable or unsafe for travel due to closure by local emergency officials, mail delivery services may be temporarily curtailed until normal conditions are restored. Those customers who are unable to receive mail delivery may pick up mail at their local delivery Post Office: 

• Canton Main Post Office, 1001 W. Dallas Street, Canton, TX 75103
• Eustace Main Post Office, 202 US Highway 175 W., Eustace, TX 75124
• Edgewood Main Post Office, 100 N Main Street, Edgewood, TX 75127
• Fruitvale Administrative Post Office, 121 VZ County Road 1910, Fruitvale, TX 75117

Customers are required to provide their delivery address and a valid photo ID in order to pick up their mail.

If mailboxes are blocked off and conditions are difficult, letter carriers must always consider safety and accessibility first. Letter carriers are instructed to not deliver to mailboxes and locations which are too hazardous to access.

Customers can call the Postal Service's toll-free number 800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777) or the TTY number 877-TTY-2HLP (877-889-2457) for help with any postal related questions they may have.

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