Local Post Offices Won't Have Extended Hours Monday

For those waiting until the last minute to file tax returns, you should know that the Philadelphia District of the United States Postal Service will not have any offices with extended hours this year. 

USPS spokesperson Cathy Yarosky told Patch that according to the IRS, about 80 percent of all tax returns will be filed electronically this year, so the mail service's volume is down considerably.

So there will be no extended hours and no ‘midnight’ postmarks, she said.

Yarosky also said that USPS's overall First-Class Mail volume is down 25 percent over the past 5 years. Tax returns are considered First-Class Mail.

According to the USPS website, the Bryn Mawr branch on Bryn Mawr Avenue is open until 5 p.m.
