Remember that U.S. Postal Service list of about 3,650 post offices under study for closure? The number is now closer to 3,270.
The reason: Since the original roster was released last July, 380 facilities have quietly been given a reprieve, according to the Postal Service.
In many cases, USPS officials decided that closing wasn’t feasible because there was no other post office within an acceptable distance. In other cases, they cited “negative community impact” or decided that closing wouldn’t be cost-effective, according to an official spreadsheet. Not surprisingly,one of the biggest gainers was Alaska, where 31 post offices have so far been spared, but many other states and the District of Columbia also had facilities come off the list.
And while congressional pressure has prompted the mail carrier to halt any actual P.O. closings until mid-May, the reviews continue, according to spokeswoman Sue Brennan, meaning that the list could shrink further.
“When we announced the moratorium,” Brennan said in an email, “we stated the established processes would continue.”
But changes are coming, according to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, after the Postal Service got an earful from communities upset at the possibility of losing their post offices.
“We’ll soon be issuing a framework for a revised retail strategy that we hope will accommodate many of the concerns that we have heard,” Donahoe said at Thursday’s Board of Governors meeting. “Especially in rural communities where we have a lot of low-activity post offices.”
Incidentally, FedLine got some feedback, too, from readers interested in seeing the entire list of post offices that have–at least for now–come off the closing review list. Your wish is our command, so here it is, broken down by state:

Where’s the list?
I just added it to the original FedLine post. Thanks for the suggestion.
Rockaway Beach 11693 is not in FL its actually in NY….. Many post offices on this are listed under the wrong State…. so far i counted 15 NYC post offices that are located in other states on this list
Thanks for the heads-up; the list up now is correct as reported by USPS.
Pathetic, shut down them all. Snailmail is a joke.
Package from Orange Cty, NY>>Goes to Kearney, NJ, all the way across the state to Rochester, NY, then over to Syracuse, NY and then down to Endicott, NY to my home….and they wonder why they are in the freakin’ red????? Morons spend more time, fuel and manpower transporting a package 500+ miles whe the damn ting could have come 180 miles stratight thru….Bueracracy at it’s absolute finest!
The basis to the problem, like all that is run by the government, is just too many people checking on people, who make records that no one looks at. That’s why Washington in general can’t get anything done. When they have a “Crook In The House”, their actions are so buried in paper, or the like, they can’t clean house.
The whole Fed mail system should be closed…..including the overpaid, over-benefitted, slow butted, just plain ole stupid people that work there. Let smart, working people like UPS or Fed EX carry the mail, more efficiently and at half the price!!!
Look at Illinois and mid west.
they are closing and closing.
