Temporary Mail Pickup Site in La Marque Outlet Mall available for all Galveston Postal Customers

Mobile Retail Service Starts Today at Bob Lyons Station in Galveston

Houston, TX —Postal Service employees are busy today providing mail pickup service at a temporary mail pickup location in La Marque for residential and business postal customers served by the Galveston Main Post Office and Bob Lyons Station on Galveston Island.

Located at 14057 Delaney Road in La Marque, the temporary location will begin operations on Wednesday, September 24. The temporary site will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday – Saturday.

The temporary site is located near IH-45 at the Delaney Road Exit (take Exit 13 and turn right from either direction) in the Gulfway Plaza at La Marque shopping center.

Current estimates call for the Gulfway Plaza site to operate for several weeks, at which time all operations will move back into Galveston.

The Gulfway Plaza at La Marque site also has Post Office Box mail available for pickup by postal customers normally served at both the Galveston Main Post Office and Bob Lyons Station. An initial plan to provide Post Office Box mail onsite at Bob Lyons Station has been delayed due to customer safety concerns as the building undergoes major renovations.

A Mobile Retail Van will be onsite at Bob Lyons Station to provide retail service and mail collection for all Galveston residents beginning today from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday — Friday. Bob Lyons Station is located at 5826 Broadway, and the building is scheduled to reopen in five months.

The Galveston Main Post Office at 601 Rosenberg, which provides retail services and serves Post Office Box customers, sustained flood damage and will remain closed for an undetermined time.

Mail delivery operations will resume as soon as possible, provided that roadways are accessible, conditions are safe for letter carriers, postal customers have returned, and mail receptacles are available.

If customers have permanently relocated or will be at a temporary location for an extended time, the Postal Service will forward your mail to the new address if you submit a change of address form.  Customers may file a Change of Address (COA) on line at usps.com, at the nearest Post Office or by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS (1-800-275-8777). COA cards are being made available to shelters.
