To the Editor,

Valentine’s Day is a small holiday with a big impact – especially for local families and small businesses in Rock Port who count on timely deliveries. If you’re sending cards, gifts, or care packages, my best advice is simple: Don’t wait until the last minute. Mailing early helps avoid stress and gives your items the best chance to arrive when they matter most.

For small businesses, this season can also be a chance to build customer loyalty – whether you’re shipping handmade goods, sending thank-you notes, or fulfilling online orders. Your local post office can help you choose the right service based on how fast it needs to get there and what you’re shipping.

From our team at the Rock Port Post Office, we wish our community a safe and happy Valentine’s season.

Sincerely, Heather Agnew, Postmaster, Rock Port Post Office
