Effective September 24, 2019, the N Houston Post Office will accept mail delivery.
All Marketing (Standard) Letters will be sent to the Southern Area STC (Surface Transfer Center) in Irving, Texas to be sorted and cross docked to the following seven facilities for processing and returned to Houston for final delivery:
- Austin
- Corpus Christi
- Dallas
- Fort Worth
- Oklahoma City
- San Antonio
- Shreveport
The USPS anticipates initial delays in standard service times of 2 business days on marketing mail. They indicated that once the system is fully operational, we should experience a delay of only 1-day.
The USPS indicated that they lost the majority of their sorting equipment when the roof collapsed and noted that the N Houston facility will not be fully operational for awhile. We will keep you abreast of the situation as it unfolds. For more details on the contingency plan, click here to see the USPS Houston Contingency Plan 2019
