New hours at Zephyr Cove post office will be inconvenient

Nevada businesses and residents that rely on the Zephyr Cove or Stateline post offices are in for a big change. Beginning June 1, the Zephyr Cove Post office will change their window (retail) hours. Currently, you can conduct business from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On June 1, the window will not open until 10 a.m. Too bad for those of us who have businesses that are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and do not close for lunch.

In addition, the Stateline post office, beginning June 10, will no longer have window (retail) service beginning at 9 a.m. They too, will not open the window until 10 a.m. and then, will close from noon to 1 p.m.

If other business people or residents feel as I do, the only way to effect a change in this decision is to contact the USPS at 1-800-275-8777 and voice your complaint. Be sure to request a call back so that your concern is documented and obtain a confirmation number.

Need to pick up a box too large for your PO Box or a certified letter? Need stamps? You’re on your way to work and run in to take care of this. That convenience will soon be gone.

I urge you to contact the USPS and help get this decision reversed.
