Postal Service appreciates community’s patience, kindness

January 9, 2026

As we turn the page on the holidays, I want to thank our customers in Harbeson for the patience, kindness and support you showed our local Postal Service team during the busiest mailing and shipping season of the year. 

Our carriers, clerks and plant teams worked hard to keep mail and packages moving for families, small businesses and neighbors who rely on us. Behind every delivery is a local employee who lives here, shops here and cares about getting it right. 

Now that the holiday rush is behind us, our focus is simple: steady, dependable service every day – along with continued improvements that help us handle today’s mix of letters and packages more efficiently.

If you had a great experience with your local post office this season, I hope you’ll share it with our team. And if we missed the mark, please let us know so we can keep improving at usps.com.
