USPS Considers Relocation of Retail Services for the Paulina Main Post Office

45-day Comment Period Commences

PAULINA, LA — The U.S. Postal Service is considering the potential relocation of retail operations from the Paulina Main Office, formerly located at 2388 LA-44, Paulina, LA 70763, to a new location within the ZIP Code 70763.

The Postal Service is considering relocation due to the non-renewal of the lease.

The Postal Service will continue retail services at the Hester Post Office, located at 4163 Kahn Street, Hester, LA  70743 until the new Post Office is up and running.

Paulina customers have been notified about the potential relocation through a postcard in the mail and will have the opportunity to provide comments regarding the proposal.

We are inviting customers to send their comments on the proposal to the following address. Comments must be received by November 25, 2026.

Attn: Paulina, LA Main Office Relocation
United States Postal Service
P.O. Box 27497
Greensboro, NC 27498-1103

After the comment period, the Postal Service will consider the comments received.  Following that consideration, the Postal Service will make a final decision to proceed with, modify, or cancel the proposal.
