MEXICO – Effective Saturday, Aug. 30, the Mexico Post Office will have new hours of operation.

Monday through Friday, the hours for the customer service window will be 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The lobby hours during the week, for customers just picking up their Post Office Box mail, will be 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Mexico Post Office will be closed for lunch from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. On Saturdays, the new hours for the customer service window will be from 9 to 11 a.m. and the lobby hours on Saturday, for customers just picking up their Post Office box mail, will be from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For the convenience of customers, many postal services are available at locations other than the local post office. Some of these include Stamps by Mail, www.usps.com, and 1-800-stamps24. In addition, there are some postal products and services available at supermarkets and drug stores that are open in the evening. Nearby post offices may also be more convenient for those who live in Mexico but work elsewhere.

Window and lobby service hours are arranged to coincide with periods of peak postal activity and with postal transportation schedules. Adjustments are made to meet changing community needs based on periodic reviews of customer activity, mail volumes, transportation schedules and operating costs.
