Postal Service Continues Delivery Efforts In Caribbean; Special Sunday Hours For Package Pickup And Delivery Announced

Postal officials gear up for another strong weekend of mail service, including package handouts and delivery during special Sunday hours, the U.S. Postal Service announced Friday.

All 117 operating post offices in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands will have handout of mail service on Sunday.  Of these, 96 post offices that provide residential delivery will continue package delivery where it is safe to do, according to the release.

Officials indicated that Sunday operations in post offices throughout the Caribbean will continue for the foreseeable future.  Ramped up delivery activities are supported by additional gains made in postal operations this week, including expedited hiring, training and orientation of more than 400 temporary employees to support mail processing and delivery.

Processing operations also continue to expand, these officials note.

In the U.S. Virgin Islands, post offices on St. Croix and St John will be open for pickup of mail on Sunday, November 5 from 10:00 am to 2:00 p.m. 

Offices on St. Thomas — Emancipation Gardens, East End and Charlotte Amalie — will open for mail pickup services at 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., post officials note. 

Customers who previously visited the Veterans Annex in St. Thomas for mail pickup are still directed to Charlotte Amalie while customers of the Frederiksted Post Office in St Croix are to visit the Kingshill Post Office for mail pickup.
