Most Post Offices to Begin Opening Earlier on Saturdays
Twenty-six San Fernando Valley post offices will be open earlier on Saturdays and, to celebrate, the Encino post office will give away clocks this morning.
The new hours, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays, will begin today at most post offices in the San Fernando, Santa Clarita and Antelope valleys, according to postal authorities.
Every 15 minutes this morning, the Encino Post Office at 5805 White Oak Ave. will give away a clock featuring the images of popular stamps.
The U.S. Postal Service decided to extend the Saturday hours as a result of customer surveys that found many people wanted earlier hours on Saturdays, said spokeswoman Terri Bouffiou.
“We found people wanted to get that chore done first and get on with their day,” she said.
To find the hours for any post office, call the 24-hour, toll-free number, (800) ASK-USPS.
