Select Bay Area Post Offices Will Open Sunday For Last-Minute Shipping
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) -- The partial government shutdown will not shutter the U.S. Postal Service. In fact, this is its busiest mailing and shipping week.
KPIX 5 found some people shipping last-minute gifts at the main San Francisco office on Saturday but time is quickly running out to get packages to their destination in time for Christmas.
The postal service will open select locations in the East Bay and South Bay on Sunday although, so far, none will be open in San Francisco. According to officials, only priority mail express-shipped items can make the Tuesday deadline.
Brian Lee said he was feeling relieved after shipping out his package Saturday.
"It's got to get there. It's got to get there by Christmas Eve ... fortunately, I made it here by noon so everything looks good," he said hopefully.
