Postal Service Suspended Across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania for Tuesday

The United States Postal Service has suspended mail service Tuesday across central and eastern Pennsylvania because of the winter storm.


Post offices and stations are closed, and deliveries and collections are suspended, and post offices that begin with ZIP codes that begin with ZIP Codes 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177, 178, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188, 195, and 196.

The Postal Service is asking people to clear steps and walkways of snow and ice after the storm so that letter carriers may resume delivery safely.

Curbside mailboxes should be shoveled out enough so that carriers can deliver or collect mail without having to leave or back up their vehicles. The area near the mailbox should be cleared in a half-moon shape to give the carrier and passing drivers full visibility.

If you have any questions regarding mail delivery, you can contact the Postal Service Customer Care Center at 1-800-ASK-USPS (275-8777) or visit www.usps.com.
