Concow and Rim Fires Affect Mail Delivery

Nelson Bar Road

Residents with proper ID can pick up their mail at the Oroville Post Office, 1735 Robinson Street.

An independent federal agency, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that visits every address in the nation — 146 million homes and businesses. It has 37,000 retail locations and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses, not tax dollars. The Postal Service has annual revenues of $75 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail.
