Most Post Office Retail Counters To Close at Noon on July 3rd
Noon set as day’s final mail collection
Milwaukee, WI — Most Post Office retail counters in the Lakeland District of the U.S. Postal Service, which covers most of the state of Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan, will close at noon on Friday, July 3, 2009 to enable retail employees to spend more time with their families. Noon will be last collection for mail deposited in blue collection boxes that day. All collection points that have a regularly scheduled collection time prior to 12:00 PM (noon) on Friday July 3rd will be collected as scheduled. Regular mail delivery for July 3 will be unaffected by the change. P.O. Box mail access will only be available until 12:00 PM (noon) in those Post Offices where retail counters and access to Post Office Boxes are co-located and are affected by early retail closing.
“As many businesses close early on July 3rd,” said Lakeland District Manager David Martin, “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 most of our locations early on July 3rd."
The following Post Office retail counters in the Lakeland District will be open on July 3rd until the time listed below. This list also includes the last collection time for mail deposited in blue collection boxes that day.
