Mobile Vans to Shut Down on July 22

Effective Friday, July 22, customers who transact business with the Haverhill and Juno Beach postal vans will need to exercise alternate access options. The two mobile vans will shut down at close of business that day.

The Postal Service's "We're Everywhere So You Can Be Everywhere" promotion includes an interactive map at http://www.uspseverywhere.com/. Customers who frequented the mobile vans have several alternate access locations including:

Retail services at the Jupiter Main Post Office, 1095 Military Trail, Jupiter FL 33458; Tequesta Branch Retail Unit, 401 Old Dixie Hwy, Tequesta FL 33458, North Palm Beach Post Office, 643 U S Highway 1, North Palm Beach FL 33408; and the Palm Beach Gardens Post Office, 3330 Fairchild Gardens Ave, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33410.

Stamps are sold on consignment (at face value) at the following alternative access locations:

CVS, 11586 US Highway 1, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33408; CVS, 312 Northlake Blvd, N Palm Beach FL 33408; Publix Supermarket, 11566 US Highway 1, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33408; Publix Supermarket, 374 Northlake Blvd , N Palm Beach FL 33408; TD Bank, 316 Northlake Blvd, N Palm Beach FL 33408; and Wachovia, 11710 US Hwy 1, Palm Beach Gardens FL 33408.

With nearly 100,000 places to buy stamps, ship a package or renew a passport, the U.S. Postal Service is expanding customer access to its products and services. It’s not about brick-and-mortar Post Offices anymore, as postal products move online and into retail outlets, grocery stores, office supply chains, and pharmacies.

The Postal Service is teaming up with hundreds of new stores so customers can do postal business at places where they already shop. Responding to changing customer needs and a business plan that calls for expanding access to postal products, stores including Costco and Office Depot, are offering shipping and mailing services.

Customers can find dozens of locations to purchase postal services within their neighborhoods by visiting an interactive map at http://www.uspseverywhere.com/ and typing in a ZIP Code. Using a simple icon guide designating stamps, shipping and packaging, PO Boxes and other services, customers can easily navigate to retail outlets, grocery stores, Automated Postal Center (APC) kiosks and Post Offices, among other options.

With Post Office hours usually ending by 5 p.m. or earlier, customers can send a Priority Mail Flat Rate Box and buy Forever stamps as long as the alternate sites are open – often as late as 9 p.m. Some sites are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With the additional shipping provider locations, customers have about 100,000 locations and ways to do business with the Postal Service.

Nearly 35 percent of the Postal Service retail revenue comes from expanded access locations such as Costco, Office Depot, grocery stores, drug stores, APCs, ATMs and usps.com, open 24/7.
