Grand Rapids, MI — Post Offices nationwide will be open Christmas Eve, Tuesday, Dec. 24, but many will shorten retail lobby hours or close at noon.

Areas where Post Offices may have different hours from this schedule will issue local media announcements specific to their locations.  Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office, and commercial customers are asked to check with their business mail entry units for specific information about holiday hours of operation.

Blue collection boxes having final collection times before 12 p.m. will not be affected. However, boxes with final collection times scheduled after 12 p.m. may be picked up early. Therefore, mail should be deposited into these mailboxes by 12 p.m. for early pickup on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31.

Customers may call 1.800.ASK.USPS for additional information.

Post Offices will be closed Dec. 25 and Jan. 1. Only Priority Mail Express will be delivered on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume Dec. 26 and Jan. 2.
