All Post Offices Open on July 3

But Many Closing at Noon

PHOENIX — All Post Offices in the U.S. Postal Service’s Arizona District, which covers the state of Arizona, will be open on Friday, July 3, but many will shorten retail lobby hours and close at noon.

Regular mail delivery for July 3 will be unaffected by the change.

In Post Offices where retail counters and access to Post Office Boxes are co-located, PO Box mail access will only be available until noon in offices closing early.

Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office and commercial customers are asked to check with their Bulk Mail Acceptance Unit for July 3 hours of operation. Customers may call 1-800-ASK-USPS for information about specific Post Offices. In addition, mail should be deposited into blue collection mailboxes by noon for early pickup on July 3. Customers requiring postal services later that day are encouraged to contact their local postmaster.

Post Offices will be closed Saturday, July 4. Sunday/Holiday Express Mail only will be delivered on the Fourth of July. All Post Offices will be open and regular mail delivery will resume Monday, July 6.
