Service Changes at Champaign Post Office Set to Start

Customers in two of the three zip codes covered by the Champaign Post Office may not notice when their service switches to a different postal station this weekend.

On Saturday, delivery to the 61821 zip code serving the west side of Champaign will move from the main station on Mattis Avenue to the Neil Street station downtown. Delivery of mail to the 61622 zip code in the rural outskirts of Champaign will change from the Neil Street station to Mattis Avenue.

Jason Stalter of the Champaign Post Office said the only difference postal customers should see is when they have to go to a post office about their mail.

The Neil Street post office will continue to handle mail to the 61820 zip code --- Champaign's busiest. Post Office box service and the Campustown postal station will not be affected by the switch.
