Extended Post Office Hours to Help You Send Holiday Cheer!
++ Harbertonford Community Post Office & Store Extends Post Office Hours in Time for Christmas ++
This festive season, Harbertonford Community Post Office & Store is stepping up its game. Starting from the 18th of November, the store is extending its Post Office opening hours, making it easier than ever to send off Christmas parcels, cards, and well-wishes to loved ones near and far. The opening hours aren’t just for Christmas though, there are here to stay!
Previously the Post Office shut at lunch time on a Saturday but permission has now been granted for it to stay open until 3.30pm. Whether people are mailing gifts to family members across the country or sending Christmas cards to friends overseas, the extended hours will ensure there’s plenty of time to get everything in the post.
The shop’s friendly staff will be on hand to help with everything from postage options to packaging tips, ensuring that items are sent off safely and correctly.
Harbertonford Community Post Office & Store was taken over by the community last year and offers fresh local produce, artisan breads and cake, keenly priced groceries, Amazon drop offs, stationary, beers and wine, plus a dry cleaning service.
The shop is committed to offering not just great products, but also services that support and bring people together, such as its book swap which has proved very popular with village residents. The store is also holding a Christmas raffle in aid of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the community shop.
From the 18th of November, the Post Office will now be open:
Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm
Saturday 8am to 3.30pm
The general opening hours for the shop are as follows:
Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm
Saturday 8am to 4pm
Sunday 8am to 1pm
More volunteers are needed to help out in the shop. If you have any hours to spare, they would love to hear from you. Shifts are usually for a couple of hours and there is a lot of flexibility. Training is given and you would be much appreciated as a part of the team.

The Post Mistress at Harbertonford Community Post Office & Store said:
“We know how busy the festive season can get, and we want to make it as stress-free as possible for our community. By extending our Post Office hours, we’re giving everyone more time to drop off those parcels – and let’s face it, no one wants to be that person who waits too long and misses the Christmas posting deadlines!
“Not only can you post your letters, but you can also grab a last-minute gift or a holiday snack while you’re here. It’s a one-stop shop for everything you need this Christmas.”
