All Post Offices Open Christmas Eve, Many Closing Early
Noon set as day’s final mail collection
Northern Virginia District — All Post Offices will be open Christmas Eve, but many will shorten retail lobby hours to enable retail employees to spend more time with their families. Regular mail delivery for Dec. 24 will be unaffected by the change.
“As many businesses close early Christmas Eve,” said Northern Virginia District Manager Michael Furey “the number of customers visiting our lobbies greatly diminishes. We view this as an opportunity to afford retail employees more time with their families by closing retail operations in many locations early Dec. 24.”
All NOVA retail offices will close Monday Dec.24 at noon with the following exceptions:
Alexandria Main Office |
Chantilly Branch |
Merrifield Post Office |
Winchester Main Office |
| 1100 Wythe Street | 410 Brookfield Corp Dr. | 8409 Lee Highway | 340 N. Pleasant Valley Rd |
| Alexandria VA 22313 | Chantilly VA 20151 | Merrifield VA 22116 | Winchester VA 22601 |
| Closes at 5:00 pm | Closes at 5:00 pm | Closes at 5:00 pm | Closes at 5:00 pm |
Furey said noon will be the last collection for mail deposited in blue collection boxes for Dec. 24 processing. Revised hours will be posted at each Post Office. Commercial customers are asked to check with their Bulk Mail Acceptance Unit for Dec. 24 hours of operation. To obtain the phone number of a specific Post Office, customers may call 1-800-ASK-USPS.
Post Offices will be closed Dec. 25. Express Mail will be delivered Christmas Day and regular mail delivery will resume Dec. 26.
