Allston, MA – Retail operations and Post Office Box services are being suspended effective close of business on Friday, December 13, at the Allston Post Office at 47 Harvard Ave.

Effective Saturday, December 14, Post Office Box customers will be redirected to the Brighton Post Office at 424 Washington St. in Brighton. Their hours of operation are 7 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and 8 am to 1 pm on Saturdays.
