NORFOLK, VA — The Milan Post Office, located at 3800 Colley Ave., will permanently close Friday, Feb. 23, at 5 p.m.  PO Box customers can retrieve mail from their current PO Boxes until Saturday, Feb. 24, 5 p.m.

For customer convenience, retail service will be available at the Norfolk Main Post Office at 600 Church Street, Norfolk, VA 23501. Retail hours at the Norfolk Main Post Office are Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Saturday and Sunday.

Any mail left inside PO Boxes at the Milan Post Office after Feb. 24 will be moved to the Norfolk Main Post Office. PO Box customers will retain the same PO Box numbers and ZIP Code and will continue to have 24/7 access at the Norfolk location.

Efforts are underway to find a yet-to-be-determined location for a new Post Office as close as reasonably possible to the current site of the Milan Post Office. The new facility will allow the Postal Service to offer the full continuity of services while remaining convenient for customers and suitable for Postal Service’s operational needs.

Customers can call 1-800-ASK-USPS or go to the Postal Service’s Website www.usps.com to get the location of other nearby Post Offices and approved postal retail service providers.

We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers.
