Winchester post office handles up to 320000 pieces daily during the holidays, routing mail to 32 area offices including Berryville and Front Royal. Postmaster J C Chamberlin notes no fixed mailing dates this year and credits early mailing with easing carrier pressure, aided by a new sorting system and temporary staff to fill vacancies.
