Greer Post Office announces extended Saturday hours for the holidays

Customers will find help when they need it—during the holidays, with extended hours at the Greer Post Office. Beginning November 24th through December 22nd, Saturday hours, which normally are 9 a.m. to noon, will extend an extra hour until 1 p.m., for mailing convenience.

For those who wish to avoid the line, the Greer office has an Automated Postal Center (APC) which is accessible for service 24/7. Just as an ATM is a virtual bank, the APC is a virtual, stand-alone Post Office. The APC does everything short of face-to-face transactions — dispensing stamps, weighing packages and calculating postage for Express Mail, Priority Mail, First-Class Mail and Parcel Post items. Even insurance and delivery confirmation may be purchased.
“APCs make visiting a Post Office easier,” said Greer Postmaster Carolyn Clark. “It’s one more way we’re trying to save customers time waiting in line and offering another alternative to meet their mailing needs.”

During the holiday rush, (or any time) customers may also consider purchasing stamps online or at more than 75,000 alternate access points, including banks, grocery stores, drug stores and at contract Postal units. National call center operators are ready to answer questions on hours and services.

Customers can call 1-800-ASK-USPS for information.

And, like Santa Claus, the Post Office is everywhere, with 37,000 locations across the country and on every computer and laptop in America at USPS.com. Almost anything that can be done at a Post Office can be done online at a time that is convenient for the customer.

Ship a package, purchase stamps, hold mail, request a free package pickup, find a ZIP Code and design and print greeting cards. There are more than two dozen services available through the Postal Service’s website.
