Martinsville PO extends lobby hours on Saturdays during the holiday season

The Martinsville Post Office, 10 S. Main Street, will be extending their retail lobby hours on Saturdays during the holiday season. Beginning Dec. 1 and lasting until Dec. 22 the local Post Office will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

“Our customers have asked us to extend our hours on Saturdays during the holiday season,” said Martinsville Postmaster Lori Philippsen. “We want to make using the Post Office quick, easy and convenient for our customers. This is just another way we’re working to better meet our customers’ shopping and mailing needs.”

In addition, the Martinsville Postmaster says many services available at the Post Office are now available on line at www.usps.com.

“You can buy stamps, use Click-N-Ship to print your own mailing labels, pay for postage and confirm delivery” says Philippsen. “You can even request a package pick up at your home or office at no extra charge.”
