    Default Caratunk Post office - still open?

    I'm looking to do a maildrop in Caratunk. Is it still open? I remember hearing that this post office was on the closure list.

    Thanks!

    Give them a call. My local PO was on a closure list two years ago. It's still open, just with reduced hours.

    I did before posting. It rang through. PO's in my experience aren't know for their phone presence. Looking for someone with local knowledge. thanks

    According to USPS it's only open M-F 2p to 4p, and Sat 7:30a to 11:15a. Did you call during those times?

    Might try calling the Bingham Post Office 207-672-5582

    That's where the mail was being sent after the fire, they would know if the Caratunk office re-opened.

    You never know which one is talking.
