USPS Puts Brakes on Mobile Vans

Postal mobile vans now serving customers in the Haverhill and Juno Beach area permanently will cease operations at close of business on Friday, July 22.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. Just like any business, the Postal Service is streamlining operations to reduce costs and capture savings.

West Palm Beach Officer-In-Charge Robert Weiser sent a letter to mobile van customers, thanking them for their business and sharing information on alternate access locations to conduct postal transactions. He encouraged customers to visit a nearby Post Office or conduct postal business in places they already frequent. At http://www.uspseverywhere.com/, customers will find dozens of locations to purchase postal services within their neighborhoods by visiting an interactive map and typing in a ZIP Code. Icons (pictured above) designating stamps, shipping and packaging, PO Boxes and other services assist customers in locating alternate access options in the ZIP Code(s) of their choice.

Customers who frequent the Haverhill and Juno Beach mobile vans may conduct retail transactions at the Jupiter Main Post Office at 1095 Military Trail in Jupiter; Tequesta Branch Retail Unit at 401 Old Dixie Hwy in Tequesta; North Palm Beach Post Office at 643 U S Highway 1 in North Palm Beach; and Palm Beach Gardens Post Office at 3330 Fairchild Gardens Ave in Palm Beach Gardens.

Also posted at http://www.uspseverywhere.com/ are alternate access locations to purchase stamps at face value: CVS at 11586 US Highway 1 in Palm Beach Gardens; CVS at 312 Northlake Blvd in North Palm Beach; Publix Supermarket at 11566 US Highway 1 in Palm Beach Gardens; Publix Supermarket at 374 Northlake Blvd in North Palm Beach; TD Bank at 316 Northlake Blvd in North Palm Beach; and Wachovia at 11710 US Hwy 1 in Palm Beach Gardens.
