For the period from December 1 to December 30, 2017, the work schedule of 151 Russian Post offices in Moscow and the Moscow region is changing. They will work seven days a week. Changing the opening hours of branches will allow us to provide postal services during the pre-New Year peak period with high quality and at the most convenient time for customers.

In Moscow, 65 Russian Post branches will switch to extended operating hours: from 8:00 to 20:00 on weekdays and from 9:00 to 18:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Thus, 148 post offices will operate 7 days a week in Moscow. It is worth noting that the lunch break in all post offices of the capital was canceled in 2016. In addition, three Moscow post offices will continue to work around the clock: 101000 (Moscow, Myasnitskaya St., 26), 107241 (Moscow, Uralskaya St., 1) and 121099 (Moscow, Smolenskaya Sq., 13/21 ).

In the Moscow region, 86 of the most popular post offices will switch to enhanced operating hours. Their new opening hours are from 8:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, from 9:00 to 18:00 on Saturday and from 10 to 15 on Sunday without a lunch break. In total, 114 post offices operate seven days a week in the Moscow region.

“On the eve of the New Year, Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region receive a large number of postal items, and also send parcels to friends and family. The flow of shipments has already increased by 30%. We understand that in a normal work schedule it is difficult for a resident of a metropolis to find time to visit a post office. Therefore, throughout December, post offices with the largest flow of customers will also be open on Sundays.”“,” noted Alla Bondarenko, regional manager of the Moscow macroregion of Russian Post.

The long-awaited holidays are coming. Many people want to have time to congratulate their loved ones, relatives, friends and loved ones who are away or live very far away. The best option would be a phone call or a colorful postcard sent by email or social network. But often, it is not possible to contact via mobile phone or the Internet, so you can use the most reliable old-fashioned method - a paper letter, gift package or parcel sent by mail. And for such people, before the upcoming celebration, it is very important to know how the post office works during the New Year holidays 2017 in Moscow and throughout Russia.

Since this is far from a high-speed service, most try to resolve “paper” issues before December 30, because the post office is a state enterprise and employs real people, so it will not work during this period. But what should those who for some reason did not have time or forgot to congratulate their loved ones on time? Don’t worry, the Russian Post is one of the few government agencies that works for 4 whole days during the New Year holidays (10 days), and in Moscow, the central office has the usual schedule (except for January 1, 2, 7). Let's find out the answer to the most important search query among Internet users: “Russian Post work on January holidays.” But first, we suggest looking at the table of delivery prices for letters, parcels, money transfers and parcels, as well as several historical facts.

How does the post office work during the New Year holidays 2017 in Moscow and other regions of Russia?

First of all, the post office tries to organize its work during the holidays as productively as possible so that correspondence gets into the hands of recipients as quickly as possible. Moreover, almost all banks are closed during the period January 1-10, so the company’s main priority is money transfers.

Unchanged working hours of the Post Office

• December 31– all departments work in reduced hours for 1 hour (pre-holiday day);
• January 1st and 2nd– legal holidays of all state-owned enterprises;
• January 3, 4 and 5– working days as usual;
• January 6– a working day, but a pre-holiday day shortened by 1 hour;
• January 7– all branches are not working;
• The usual schedule will begin from January 8.

Important! It should be taken into account that delivery for the New Year holidays will also work according to the above schedule, so the arrival time of correspondence, parcels and parcels stated on the official website will most likely take 2-4 days longer.

On December 31 and January 6, the working day of post offices will be shortened by one hour. Branches with round-the-clock operation Moscow 107241 (Uralskaya St., 1) and Moscow 121099 (Smolenskaya Sq., 13/21) on December 31 and January 6 will be open until 21:00.

January 1, 2 and 7, 2018 are days off for post offices throughout the country; on these days, exchange and delivery of postal items, periodicals and removal of written correspondence from mailboxes are not carried out.

On January 3, 4, 5, 8, 2018, post offices will operate as usual. For uninterrupted and timely delivery of pensions and benefits, postal items and periodicals, a different operating mode may be established for a number of rural post offices. Delivery of pensions and benefits on holidays is carried out in agreement with the regional branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, taking into account the specifics of organizing their delivery in the region.
