'Sunday Will Never Be the Same!'

         

Still shopping for holiday gifts for out-of-town family and friends? Five South Florida Post Offices will be open the next two Sundays, December 16 and 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can ship your holiday packages (off-the-clock, of course!) to domestic, international, and military destinations at the following locations:  

Coral Springs Branch, 3255 NW 94 Ave, Coral Springs, FL 33065

 

Flamingo Branch, 12590 Pines Blvd, Pembroke Pines, FL 33027

 

Miami GMF Postal Store, 2200 NW 72 Ave, Miami, FL 33152

 

Palms West Branch, 10299 Southern Blvd, Royal Palm Beach, FL 33411

 

Tamarac Branch, 7875 NW 57 St, Tamarac, FL 33351

With an increase in early and online shopping for gifts, there is no longer a “busiest day” for holiday shipping. Instead, the Postal Service’s busiest time is now two weeks before Christmas. The week of December 17 is predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week, when nationwide, nearly three billion pieces of First-Class Mail, including greeting cards, will be processed and delivered.
