Automated Postal Center Times Two

Makes Transactions Quick And Easy in English or Spanish

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA — Due to the popularity of the Automated Postal Center (APC), a self-service postal kiosk, the Rancho Cordova Post Office is giving customers what they demanded, a second APC!

When customers soon discovered the quick and easy method to transact their own postal transactions after the first APC was installed at the Rancho Cordova Post Office, 10923 Progress Court, the Post Office realized a second one was in order.

The APC is a self-service kiosk that lets customers transact postal business and offers an alternative to standing in line at the retail counter. The APC is an ideal option during busy periods, and it is just one of the many ways the Postal Service provides alternative services to customers.

The automated postal center gives customers the option to step out of line and make their own transactions. This saves them valuable time in a quick, easy and efficient manner.

Customers can weigh and mail letters and parcels and purchase stamps at the touch of a screen, and the use of debit and credit cards make all transactions effortless.

Both APCs are available to the public during the following PO Box lobby hours:
Monday–Saturday: 5 a.m.–9 p.m.
Sunday: 6 a.m.–9 p.m.
