Service Temporarily Suspended At One Post Office In Maplewood

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — A branch post office in Maplewood is temporarily closed for retail customer services as they work out some plumbing issues.

According to a press release, "Effective immediately, retail customer services have been temporarily suspended at the Maplecrest Station Post Office, 1767 Springfield Ave., Maplewood NJ due to plumbing issues. Mail delivery to street addresses remains unaffected. Maplecrest Post Office Box customers can pick-up their mail at the Main Post Office, 195 Maplewood Ave."

Stamp booklets are sold at face value at the Walgreens at 1633 Springfield Ave., three blocks from the Maplecrest Station Post Office.

The postal service suggested that customers can also use the Maplewood Main Post Office, Millburn Main Post Office, and South Orange Main Post Office.

The suspension of services was still in effect as of Friday.

Keep in mind that there will be no mail service Monday because of Martin Luther King Day. Federal Express and UPS will be open.

The small, brick 1,008 sq. ft. leased Maplecrest postal facility was built around World War II. Read about the history of the postal service in Maplewood here.
