USPS to set up Mobile Post Office in South Minneapolis this week

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The United States Postal Service will have a Mobile Post Office set up in the vacated KMART parking lot, located at 10 W Lake Street, 55408, this Thursday and Friday, June 18th and 19th, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for customers to complete their retail postal needs.   

The Mobile Post Office provides customers a place to complete all of their postal retail postal needs, such as purchasing postage, sending a package and buying a money order.  The Mobile Post Office will take cash, checks and credit/debit cards for purchases.

As a reminder, PO Box services and package pickups will not be done at the Mobile Post Office.  If your station has been relocated, please continue to go to those locations for these services.

The Lake Street and Minnehaha Stations are still relocating operations as indicated below.  The United States Postal Service is already moving forward to provide customers with a local facility to call their own.

As a precautionary measure, the Postal Service has also temporarily removed some collection boxes in St. Paul and Minneapolis.  They will be back in service when it is deemed safe to do so, and when we are able to collect the mail within them without incident.
