Four South Bay post offices removed from closure list

My prayers have been answered and my little post office will stay open. I will see the helpful cheerful clerks and occasionally meet friends and neighbors there doing their postal errands.
Grazie! Mille Grazie! To all our postat people God bless you, keep you safe when you nave to climb all those steps to deliver he mail. and try to avoid the dogs and the bees too when they swarm. Thank you post delivery workers who are out in the rain too.

Last time I went to the N. Redondo station, it was a dump, like something you'd see in a 3rd world country. I almost expect to see homeless sleeping in its lobby, or at least bumming change in front of the entrance.

I have had a post office box at the North Redondo location for over 30 years now.

I recall when paying my box fees once, that the clerk told me that the box rents was how the postal system made most of their money - hence I was surprised when the North Redondo Post Office was then on the 1st list.

If payroll was the issue - it was my thoughts that they could make the North Redondo station a p.o. box and self-service location. Would just involve a part-time employee to distribute the mail to the boxes .... trucks already route the city to pick-up outgoing mail, hence a stop there to pick-up such mail from the self-service area (noticed self-service areas at the Catalina Station and also at the Airport Station). Be lots of room to add more boxes for rent revenue too.

...close them...they cost way too much...end saturday delivery, too (except for those who choose to pay for it)...these cuts have been in the works for fricken yrs and nothing ever happens.

This NIMBY crap is why we are in crapper...

I love having the post office close, but it won't kill me to if it closes...

without a post office
hermosa will fade from the map
and get eaten by redondo
very important for a city
to be on the post office map
and keep off the dinosaur trail
as a child in iowa
a little town of marne
fought to keep its post office
less then 200 hundred souls
still stands today
without it
no town identity
citizens of hermosa beach
need to shout out
now
17000 people
should get to keep
their post office
and the town will live

The last time I was at the post office, I saw that the machines that dispense stamps were taken out of service. There was a sign up that says where you can go to get stamps and they were all grocery stores! And this was the main post office on Monterrey. Since when does the post office not sell stamps and tell you to go to the grocery? Does a library ask me to check out books at the bank? Will we have to pay our parking tickets at Home Depot?

Hermosa should throw in the towel as it is dying on the vine. let Redondo manage the whole city so that our property values will recover.

Glad to hear that all the emails and letters were heard regarding the Marcelina (Old Torrance) post office. It has such a small town feel and nice folks, plus its location makes it convenient for getting other things done (running to the bank, picking up cupcakes at Torrance Bakery for the office or maybe a shake a Foster's to take back to my desk).

Give me a break, you old bags need to get with the times. The post office, and it's environmentally unfriendly business practices, is on the way out.

Get use to the idea, the Post Office is defunct.

Hey, How will you get your unemployment check idiot.

My psychic intuition says they will close what they rent and keep open what they own.
