Mailboxes of Park Slope is Toast: Get Your Mail While You Can

October 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments

There’s been a great deal of worrying in Park Slope over the sudden closing of Mailboxes of Park Slope on Flatbush. Without warning, the postal service closed it’s gates. Then a sign appeared from the United States Post Office, a “Notice of Abandonment“:

Mailboxes Etc.: Located on 328 Flatbush Avenue has abandoned their private mail boxes. Customers that rented private mail boxes can pick up their mail at Adephi Post Office at 950 Fulton Street Brooklyn 11238. The date notice: 10/21/08.

Yet, the saga continues: To help customers the store will open today (Thursday 10/23/08) between 5pm and 7pm, and Friday, 10/24/08, between 9am and 12pm. This will be your only opportunity to get your mail. Yeah, thanks. There’s a long discussion thread and info at Brooklynian, of course.

    If you need an alternative, try Clinton Hill Business Service Center at 115 South Oxford Street in Ft Greene. They offer mailboxes, faxing, copying, printing, Internet access, FedEx, USPS services and UPS. Nice people open 6 days a week.
