The U.S. Postal Service has implemented an emergency suspension of the Globe, Miami, Claypool, San Carlos, Bylas, and Peridot Post Offices effective immediately.

As a result of the nearby Telegraph and Mescal Wildfires, the Postal Service is providing the following arrangements for customers served by the Globe, Miami, Claypool, San Carlos, Bylas, and Peridot Post Offices.

All retail and P.O. Box operations at Globe, Miami, and Claypool will be conducted at the Payson Post Office located at 100 W. Frontier St, Payson, AZ, 85541 until further notice. All retail and P.O. Box operations at San Carlos, Bylas, and Peridot will be conducted at the Safford Post Office located at 504 S. 5th Ave, Safford, AZ, 85546 until further notice.

Globe, Miami, and Claypool customers can mail items, purchase stamps or pick up parcels at Payson. The Payson Post Office is open Mon - Fri: 8:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and on Saturday: 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. The office is closed Sunday.

Customers from Globe, Miami, Claypool, San Carlos, Bylas, and Peridot who are picking up P.O. Box mail at the alternate location must do so at the retail counter during normal business hours. A valid picture ID is required to pick up P.O. Box mail. This is an emergency suspension of these offices, not a permanent closure.
