The Dillon Post Office again experienced unexpected closures this week, a week after both the Dillon and Silverthorne post offices experienced unannounced closures. The U.S. Postal Service did not return a request for comment about this week’s closures.
U.S. Postal Service spokesperson James Boxrud said that the unexpected closures last week were due to two staff members contracting the flu. He said at the time that he was hopeful that regular service would return this week.
But that didn’t happen, at least not at the Dillon Post Office. Throughout the week this week, signs were posted to the Dillon Post Office doors warning customers that the facility would be closed in the afternoon due to an “employee emergency.”
Summit County residents, especially those in Silverthorne and Dillon, have complained about a lack of reliable mail service from the U.S. Postal Service for years.
