Before you head out to the Post Office this Christmas, it's important to make sure you're aware of their opening times. The rush of sending Christmas cards is now over and it's time for those thank you notes and gift card orders. If you're expecting a parcel from a missed Christmas delivery, you may need to make a trip to the Post Office. However, before you leave the comfort of your home, it's crucial to check if your local branch is actually open.
It's worth noting that opening times can vary from branch to branch. To save yourself the hassle, it's recommended that you use the Branch Finder tool to find the specific opening hours for your local branch. This will ensure that you don't make an unnecessary trip and can plan accordingly.
Looking ahead to New Year's 2025, you may be wondering about the Post Office's opening hours. As expected, these may differ during the festive period. For example, on Twixmas 2024-2025, major branches will be open as usual on Friday, December 29. On Saturday, December 30, they will operate from 9am-1pm. However, on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, all branches will be closed. Normal business hours will resume starting on Tuesday, January 2.
In the UK, the Post Office has a network of 11,500 branches. However, 115 of these are considered "Crown" Post Offices, which are run by the Post Office itself and are typically located in city centers. According to a Post Office spokesperson, their Postmasters understand the importance of their services during the busy Christmas season. They also mention that around 4,000 branches operated by independent Postmasters or retail partners are typically open on weekends, including over the festive break.
If you're unsure about a specific branch's opening hours, their local Facebook page or the Branch Finder tool can provide the necessary information. It's worth noting that many branches located inside convenience stores will remain open throughout the festive period, with some even operating on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. With this in mind, you can plan your Post Office visits accordingly and avoid any potential holiday stress. This article was first published on December 21, 2024.
