Holiday Shipping
By Kathy McKinney · November 2026 · Volume MMXXVI, Number 11
The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for the U.S. Postal Service, which delivers almost 10 billion pieces of mail and packages between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.
If you have holiday packages and cards to mail, don’t wait in endless lines in town. The Redwood Estates Post Office, located just a half-mile off Highway 17 in “downtown” Redwood Estates, is rarely crowded, even during the busy months of November and December. Postmaster Amy Yang is always helpful, friendly, and efficient.
December also brings an increase in mailbox and package theft. Consider renting a secure post-office box in Redwood Estates. For P.O. box holders, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and OnTrac parcels are accepted at the post office for safe pick-up during business hours. The P.O. box lobby is always open, including Saturdays and Sundays.
The Redwood Estates Post Office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is located at 21432 Broadway Road, across from Pizza Vittoria and next to the Redwood Estates Store.
