U. S. Post Office Closings

The U.S. Postal Service will begin the process of closing as many as 2,000 postal offices in March and will review 16,000 more — half of all existing post offices — that are losing money.  Based on federal requirements, the majority of post offices closing will be money-losing post offices, post offices in close proximity to other offices, stations/  branches with only retail operations (window service). This page will serve as a hub for reporting news of post office closures across the nation. The information below is for post offices that have been closed or in the process of closing. This page will be updated as needed. If anyone is aware of any post office that closed this year or find errors on this page may submit the information here  |

note: This is not a complete list. It is only links to new stories about post office closings.
