USPS Domestic Service Disruptions and Post Office Closures – Updated 8/23/2023

The United States Postal Service (USPS) provided the following information on disruptions and suspensions of domestic services and facilities. These disruptions are based on U.S. Postal Service notifications to the public via industry alerts.

Media-reported issues that significantly affect USPS operations in a specific area may also be added here and will be noted as such, particularly, those caused by weather or natural disasters.

USPS Domestic Services include mail and package shipments within the contiguous United States and those destined for Alaska and Hawaii, as well as to U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and others.

In addition, military and diplomatic mail (APO/FPO/DPO) are technically considered “domestic” services from a pricing perspective and will be added here if USPS becomes aware of delivery problems or suspensions.

It’s important to note that once mail is handed over to the military for international transport, USPS does not control the delivery outside the United States.

Some APO/FPO/DPO mail and some territories may still require a customs form, even if priced as a domestic service.

This information was last updated on 8/23/2023.

For individuals who lost their homes or are residing in regions that are currently unreachable, an option is available to collect their mail. They can retrieve their mail now from the dutch door located in the lobby of the Lahaina Main Post Office. This service will be open from Monday to Saturday, from 10 am to 5 pm.
