APEC Impacts Waikiki Post Office Services

Posted on November 8, 2011
The imposition of a special high-security zone in Waikiki during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference will impact access to and some delivery services provided by the Waikiki Post Office. The security zone will result in road closures and the establishment of security checkpoints that will affect postal operations as follows:

·        The Waikiki Post Office will be CLOSED completely, with no retail services or access to PO Boxes, from 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 to 8 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13. There will be NO ACCESS TO PO BOXES ON SATURDAY, NOV. 12.

·        In order to make up for the closure, the Waikiki Post Office will make special arrangements to deliver mail to its PO Boxes on Friday, Nov. 11, Veterans’ Day (mail isn’t normally delivered on federal holidays). ACCESS TO PO BOX MAIL ON NOV. 11 WILL BE ONLY FROM 11 A.M. TO 6 P.M.; the Waikiki Post Office’s retail lobby will be closed on Nov. 11 due to the holiday.

·        There will be no mail pickup from blue USPS collection boxes or mail drops at the Waikiki Post Office, from the Hilton Hawaiian Village’s front desk and Contract Postal Unit, or from the collection box at 1741 Ala Moana Boulevard, between each location’s last collection time on Thursday, Nov. 10 and 7 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 14.

Every effort will be made to provide the usual mail delivery services, but delivery times on Saturday, Nov. 12 may be impacted by road closures and other traffic issues resulting from the APEC conference. Where access is barred by security considerations, delivery may not be possible.
