US Post Office Box Locations and Hours

Find US Post Office Box Locations

Open {site} and choose the USPS location finder. This official tool lets you search for facilities and narrow the results by location type and available services.

Start with the area where you want to receive mail. The closest result is not always a full Post Office, so do not rely only on distance. A collection box, kiosk, or postal counter inside another business may appear in the same search but may not provide PO Box access.

For the most useful list of US Post Office box locations, select Post Office as the location type. Then look for the PO Box service filter. This helps remove facilities that do not match your needs.

The results may be displayed as a list and on a map. Each entry normally includes the facility name, its location, distance from the search point, and a link or control for viewing details. Open the full details before deciding where to go.

Search for a PO Box Near You

You can search by city and state or by ZIP Code. A ZIP Code usually gives the locator a more precise starting point, especially when a city has several postal facilities. If you search by city, include the state so the tool does not select a place with the same name elsewhere.

1. Open the location finder and enter a city with its state, or enter a ZIP Code.
2. Choose Post Office under location types.
3. Open the service filters and select the option for PO Boxes.
4. Set a reasonable search distance if the tool offers a distance control.
5. Run the search and review each matching facility.

If you search for a “USPS PO Box near me” or “US Post Office box near me,” your phone may show general map results first. Those results can be incomplete or outdated. Use the official locator to verify that a result is actually one of the post office locations with PO Boxes.

If no results appear, remove extra search details and try again. Check the ZIP Code for typing errors, search by city and state instead, or widen the distance. You can also search a neighboring ZIP Code to find nearby US Post Office box locations outside the first search area.

Check Location and Lobby Hours

Select a facility from the results to open its detail page. Look for the complete hours section rather than relying on the short summary in the search list. USPS may display separate schedules for different parts of the same facility.

Pay attention to these labels:

• Retail hours cover the staffed service counter.
• Lobby hours describe when the public lobby is accessible.
• PO Box access hours describe when customers can reach the box area.

These schedules are not interchangeable. The retail counter may be unavailable while the lobby or PO Box area remains accessible, or access to all areas may end together. Use the line specifically labeled for PO Box access when checking US Post Office PO Box hours.

Review every day shown, including weekends and holidays when applicable. Do not assume that one weekday’s schedule applies to another day. If the detail page does not show a separate PO Box schedule, contact the facility or USPS support before making a special trip.

Check the official listing again shortly before leaving. A temporary closure or local change may not match information copied into a map service or older search result.

Confirm PO Box Services

The PO Box filter is a useful starting point, but the selected facility’s detail page is the final place to confirm services. Find the section usually labeled Services at This Location or At This Location. Look for a PO Box entry or a PO Box online entry.

A service listing means the facility identifies PO Boxes as one of its services. It does not guarantee that a box is currently available. Availability can vary by facility and box size, and the general location finder may not show that information.

If an online availability control appears, follow it and make sure the facility name and ZIP Code match the location you selected. If no availability information appears, do not treat the missing information as either confirmation or a denial. Ask USPS for the current status.

Before contacting support, note the facility name, city, state, ZIP Code, and any location identifier shown on the detail page. This helps USPS distinguish between nearby branches with similar names. It also prevents confusion when several USPS PO Box locations serve the same area.

Get Help With the Location Search

If the locator cannot find a facility, clear the search and enter only the city and state or ZIP Code. Confirm that Post Office is selected as the location type and that the PO Box service filter is active. Try a wider distance if there are no matching results.

For official help, return to {site} and open the Contact Us or Help section. Choose the support path related to finding a location, PO Boxes, or a specific postal facility. Use only contact details displayed there, since third-party directories may contain old information.

Tell support exactly what is missing. Include the search term you entered, the facility name if one appeared, and whether you need confirmation of PO Box service, availability information, lobby access, or PO Box access hours. If the locator shows conflicting details, describe which parts disagree.

When a known facility does not appear, ask USPS to confirm its official name and whether it is listed under a different nearby ZIP Code. This is the safest way to verify US Post Office box locations near me without relying on an unverified address, schedule, or directory listing.
