DETROIT MI — Due to the extreme weather conditions caused by Winter Storm Jayden, the U.S. Postal Service has temporarily suspended delivery, collections and pick up services throughout the state of Michigan on Wednesday and Thursday, January 30-31, 2019, to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees. Specific information about the areas affected is being posted to the USPS Service Alerts page: http://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/
All post office retail operations will be open.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this weather related service disruption has caused,” said District Manager Karlett Gilbert, Detroit District. “The safety and well-being of our employees is of paramount concern to the Postal Service.”
Customers can call 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777) to obtain information, including available, alternate Post Office retail locations, or check the Postal Service website: www.usps.com.
