Some post offices will be closed the day after Thanksgiving

Some post offices may be closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving- here’s a press release issued by one district in California:

Some of the Post Offices in the U.S. Postal Service’s Sierra Coastal District will be closed for retail services on Friday, Nov. 27. Regular mail delivery will be unaffected by this temporary change. However, in the cities and towns listed, there will be no outgoing mail collected from either the blue mail collection boxes or the Post Office lobbies and access to P.O. Boxes will be unavailable.

Notification of the adjusted hours is posted at each Post Office that will be closed or closing early, along with the location of the nearest access to Postal products and services. Customers may also call 1-800-ASK-USPS or visit www.usps.com for information about specific Post Offices.

    Why aren’t post offices following the prescribed holiday service levels in Postal Operations Manual 125.22? Partial closings and reductions in service could lead to permanent ones.

    Hey could you tell me what PO will be closing early, at my office management does not tell us until an hour after we are to have been closed.So upper management good idea to tell your lower managers a couple of days ahead of time. Not an hour after we where to be closed.
