The Telluride Post Office is a great place to go to get your mail. But, best of all, our friendly postmaster and postal workers will always brighten your day! Go see Jim, bring him a photo for his "Telluride Family" photo wall.
Time is running out quickly to get parcels to there destination by Christmas.

The latest date to mail packages other then express, and have them arrive by Christmas is December 21, 2005. Parcels can be sent after that date using express. This service is our premier service. If it does not make it on time you can receive a refund on the postage paid. Mailing parcels after the 21st any other way does not guarantee delivery by Christmas. I recommend that all parcels sent out now tell the 21st be sent Priority or Express.

Post rates will be increasing as of January 8, 2006. The new rate stamps can now be purchased at the Post Office. For a list of the new rates visit www.usps.com
