“We’re beginning to see a surge in customers shipping their Christmas packages,” said USPS Holiday Spokesperson Tonya Billingslea. “We hope these extended hours will make it easier for our customers to ship out those packages to their friends and family across the nation.

“These extended hours, along with the hiring of 40,000 seasonal employees nationwide, the installation of new equipment at select locations and the redesign of our transportation network, are special measures that we’ve taken in order to ensure that we are providing peak customer service during our busiest time of the year.”

USPS expects to deliver more than 12 billion pieces of mail and about 950 million packages nationwide between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

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