News you can use from the Norwich VT Postmaster

Just to keep you in the know this holiday season

Good morning Norwich and Upper Valley residents,

I recently visited with the new postmaster, Mathew Swain who was very receptive and mentioned that the timing was perfect as he wanted to get word out to the community regarding the upcoming holidays. It was a nice visit for me especially as it was like being home again. I served as Norwich’s Postmaster for many years and can tell you firsthand that the information that you will read in this press release will help you with your mailing needs and make for a calmer holiday rush if you will.

This story/press release will keep you informed with critical mail shipping dates for the holiday season

Norwich Postmaster Mathew Swain inviting you into the Norwich Post office for all your mailing needs and hoping that customers pick up incoming packages early so as not to create a back log this holiday season.

Proud to serve the Norwich community

I stopped in a little later that afternoon and low and behold the activity has began

As one customer finishes her transaction another is about to head up to the counter- a busy place this will be for the next few days or weeks I would say.

RE: Postmaster's Report – Recommended Holiday Shipping and Mailing Dates

As the Postmaster for Norwich, VT, I want to assure you that the U.S. Postal Service is primed and ready to deliver exceptional service during the 2024 holiday rush. Thanks to the substantial progress USPS has made under the Delivering for America plan — a $40 billion investment aimed at revitalizing the national postal network — our operational, transportation and delivery processes have never been more finely tuned. My dedicated team and I are fully prepared to once again handle the peak holiday season surge.

As you and your family prepare for the holidays, it's always a good idea to Ship It Early! We encourage everyone to send their holiday mail and packages well in advance to ensure they reach their destinations on time, but we understand that sometimes cards or packages are sent last minute.

This year, our recommended send-by dates for expected holiday delivery within the continental U.S. before Dec. 25 are:

• Dec. 18: USPS Ground Advantage service; First Class Mail service

• Dec. 19: Priority Mail service

• Dec. 21: Priority Mail Express service

And remember: the earlier you send, the better — Ship it Early!

We are honored and grateful for your trust in the U.S. Postal Service. Your postal team at the Norwich, VT Post Office is proud to be the most affordable, reliable way to send cheer this holiday season, and we’re ready to deliver exceptional service during the holidays and beyond.
