ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Alexandria Main Post Office, located at 1100 Wythe St., will celebrate Customer Appreciation Day on Thursday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“The Alexandria Post Office has been serving the community since 1754,” said Alexandria Postmaster Mario DiPatrizio. “We’re proud of be part of the city’s rich history, our more than two centuries of service here, and look forward to thanking our customers for their continued patronage.”

There will be a raffle drawing, refreshments and postal representatives available to discuss USPS employment opportunities, small business products and services, safety and other topics.

Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) live demonstrations will be held during the event. EDDM service is an easy, cost-effective way for small businesses to reach potential customers. Just create the mailpiece, identify your target audience, select postal routes and pay for postage online.

“This event will be fun,” said Customer Service Manager Shakeel Khan. “We look forward to meeting customers and listening to feedback about mail service in the community.”

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