Two Gloucester County Post Offices Announce New Retail Hours to Meet Customer Shipping Needs

Williamstown, NJ —Two Gloucester County Post Offices are offering new hours to make it more convenient to ship packages anywhere in the United States and around the world.

Effective June 7, 2008, the Williamstown Post Office will open at 8:30 a.m. and close at 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and will open at 8 a.m. and close at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The Post Office is located at 135 S. Black Horse Pike. The Mullica Hill Post Office, located at 123 Bridgeton Pike, will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.

“We want to become America’s shipper of choice,” says Williamstown Postmaster Gary Carrasquillo. “This is just another way we’re working to do that. To meet our customers’ needs, we need to be open when they want to use us.”

In addition, all of the shipping services available at the Post Office are also available 24 hours a day at usps.com. “You can buy stamps, use Click-N-Ship to print your own mailing labels, pay for postage and confirm delivery,” said Carrasquillo. “You can even request Package Pickup at your home or office without stepping away from your computer keyboard.”

“Expanding hours gives customers more options and better access to the shipping services they need,” Carrasquillo said.
