For some in the northeast corner, taking your regular jaunt to the local post office may require some adjustment.

The U.S. Postal Service, plagued by red ink for many years, adjusted the hours of some post offices, including a few in northeastern Connecticut.

The two post offices experiencing the biggest hours cuts Jan. 9 are the East Woodstock Post Office and the South Woodstock Post Office.

In East Woodstock the hours for the Window will be from 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday and from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The Lobby will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week; however, there may be times  after 12 noon when the door will be locked to safeguard mail waiting for pickup by the postal service.

In South Woodstock the Window hours will be from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday, the Window hours will be from 8 to 11 a.m. The Lobby hours will be from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 8:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

The hours for the Pomfret Post Office were changed in May. The Window hours are from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed from 1 to 1:30 p.m. for lunch). The Window hours on Saturdays are from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. The Lobby is open 24 hours.

The Eastford Post Office hours for the Window will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a lunch break from noon to 1 p.m. On Saturday the Window hours are from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The Lobby hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m Monday through Saturday.

The hours  at the Pomfret Center Post Office are unchanged as are the hours at the Putnam Post Office.
