Russian Post adjusts hours for May holidays with partial closures

Postal branches in Magadan Oblast that handle marketplace order deliveries will operate as usual.

On April 30 and May 8, working hours at post offices will be reduced by one hour.

During the holidays, postal workers will not deliver mail or periodicals. However, pensions and benefits will be delivered according to schedules coordinated with regional branches of Russia's Social Fund, taking into account local conditions.

To ensure uninterrupted and timely delivery of pensions, benefits, mail, periodicals, and marketplace orders, some branches may adjust their operating hours.

For up-to-date schedules or to locate the nearest open branch, visit pochta.ru or use the company's mobile app.
