Mesa's Desert Station Post Office to Close Aug. 21-26 for Improvements

Customers Urged to Visit Nearby Locations for Postal Services

In order to improve customer access and convenience, the Desert Station Post Office located on Broadway Road just west of Power Road will be closed to the public from Tuesday, Aug. 21, through Sunday, Aug. 26.

The temporary closure will allow the Mesa Post Office to make improvements to the facility's parking lot as well as its retail lobby.

During the six days Desert Station is closed, postal customers are encouraged to visit one of these nearby Mesa locations for their Postal Service retail needs:

Bashas' Contract Postal Unit;
6720 E. Broadway Rd.
M-F 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Sat. 8 a.m. - 12 noon

During Desert Station's brief closure, customers should call (480) 641-1166 for re-delivery service for items such as mail on vacation hold, parcels, Certified Mail, etc.

“When the facility reopens on Monday, Aug. 27,” Mesa Postmaster Robert Hurley said, “we're sure our customers will agree that the resulting improvements justify this minor inconvenience.”

“We appreciate our customers' patience during this construction project,” Hurley added.
