“We’re beginning to see a surge in customers shipping their Christmas packages,” said USPS Holiday Spokesperson Mayra Elena-Hernandez. “We’re holiday ready. We want to ensure that are customers are, too.

“We hope these extended hours will make it easier for our customers to ship out their packages to their friends and family across the nation.

“These extended hours, along with the hiring of 28,000 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’re providing peak customer service during our busiest time of the year.”

As of the date of this release, USPS had accepted more than 5.3 billion pieces of mail and packages this holiday season. Updated mail/package volume figures are available at the USPS Holiday Newsroom.
