The U.S. Postal Service plans to identify 2,000 post offices that will be closed, with another 16,000 to possibly follow. 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 and 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 links below are only for the post offices that have been closed or in the process of closing. It will not report on the post offices under consideration for closure. This page will be updated as needed.
