Post office extends hours to tackle holiday mail crunch

Full window service will be available both days.

Atlanta has not extended weekend hours since 2006, according to a spokesman.

On Saturday, those post offices will open at their regular time but will remain open until 4 p.m.

They will also be open on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the larger cities.

Customers should check places they normally receive packages “During the holiday season, package delivery times could be as early as 6:30 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m.,” said Atlanta District Manager Scott Raymond.
