Postmaster responds to critique of Frederick postal services
In a December letter Lucian Heichler urged more Frederick area offices beyond the Main Post Office and College Estates Station. The Post Office notes options include stamps at local grocers and two contract postal stations at Hood College and The Mailroom. Nearby post offices at Buckeystown Middletown New Market and Walkersville serve the area within about 16 minutes of downtown. Renovations were paused by a national moratorium after a capital spending request, with plans to revisit when lifted. Holiday mailing season remains the busiest time. Non peak hours 9:30 am to 4:00 pm help avoid crowds. ALIAN AL RIGGIERS. postmaster Vredyniek.
