Camas’ Shell at Sixth Avenue to Offer Full Range of USPS Services at New Contract Postal Unit

Opening on Monday, March 3

To provide more convenient access to postal services, a new Contract Postal Unit (CPU) will open next week at the Shell gas station at 1605 NW Sixth Ave., the Camas Post Office announced today.

A full line of postal products and services are available at the Shell at Sixth Avenue, including postage stamps, Express Mail® and Priority Mail® service, International Mail, special services, and much more — all at regular USPS prices.

The location’s hours of operation provide convenient access to postal services from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week.

Customers will easily recognize the presence of USPS services at this and other contract unit locations via the exterior and interior signage featuring the USPS Eagle logo, as well as the new retail counter configuration and product display.

“We are excited to partner with the Postal Service to offer another convenient location for customers to use the mail,” said Traci Nichols, manager of the Shell postal unit at the station, which also offers a convenience store, car wash, fishing licenses, bait and tackle in addition to fuel services. “We invite everyone to stop by and visit our friendly staff.”

Businesses in the Southwest Washington area may request information about the potential of hosting a Contract Postal Unit location by contacting their local postmaster or USPS Retail Specialist Lori Southwick at (503) 294-2338.
