Mail Service Impacted by Tornado

SHELBY OH — The tornado that passed through the Shelby, OH area on Sunday impacted mail delivery service.  In those locations where roads are impassable or unsafe for travel due to closure by local emergency officials, mail delivery services may be temporarily curtailed until normal conditions are restored. Those customers who are unable to receive mail delivery may pick up mail at their local delivery Post Office: 

  • Shelby Post Office, 26 N Gamble Street, Shelby, OH 44875

Customers are required to provide their delivery address and a valid photo ID in order to pick up their mail.

If mailboxes are blocked off and conditions are difficult, letter carriers must always consider safety and accessibility first. Letter carriers are instructed to not deliver to mailboxes and locations which are too hazardous to access.

Customers can call the Postal Service's toll-free number 800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777) or the TTY number 877-TTY-2HLP (877-889-2457) for help with any postal related questions they may have.

The Postal Service does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses; it relies entirely on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
