‘The ongoing decline in mail volume means fewer customers in our lobby,? said Oxford Postmaster Marie Stewart.
Leonard Postmaster William Moskal agreed and added, ‘it made business sense for us to adjust staffing to the declining workload.?
They also agreed alternative access to postal products and services has never been greater.
‘Customers can buy stamps at Meijer supermarkets,? said Stewart. ‘They can buy stamps, mail packages, or ship items by Express or Priority Mail at Meijers. Best of all they can go to our website, usps.com, to buy stamps or send packages with Click-N-Ship. They can even request to have their letter carrier pick up their package the next business day at no charge.?
Mail delivery will be unaffected by the change. Both offices will resume regular hours September 7.
