The U.S. Postal Service has been delivering joy for 250 years. Holiday readiness comes down to performance you can count on, especially during our busiest time of the year.

Bradford is known for its historical significance in the oil industry, beautiful natural surroundings and a strong sense of community, of which the Post Office has been an integral part. In Bradford, our team has put recent transformation efforts to work — tightening handoffs between processing and delivery, sharpening scanning discipline and prioritizing morning parcel routes.

These practical steps toward logistics best practices strengthen reliability and keep the Postal Service a competitive value for you, our holiday customers.

When mailing or shipping this holiday season, don’t forget to:

• Plan ahead and check ship-by dates at usps.com/holidayshippingdates.

• Verify addresses at usps.com/zip-code-lookup.

• Use Click-N-Ship at usps.com to compare USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express.

• Package your items securely and include complete, legible addresses.

Serving Bradford during the holidays is a privilege — we appreciate your business and your patience during our busiest time of year.

Postmaster Christoper Madigan, Bradford Post Office
