What to Know About USPS in Potsdam, New York

Potsdam, New York, located in St. Lawrence County, has a population of approximately 9,570 residents. This small city is situated at the intersection of the Raquette River and a series of adjacent creeks, which historically made it a thriving hub for local industry, particularly in the production of paper and textiles. The geography of Potsdam, characterized by its proximity to the Adirondack Mountains and numerous waterways, can occasionally influence weather patterns, including heavy snowfall in winter months, which may impact USPS delivery times. The presence of local colleges, such as Clarkson University and SUNY Potsdam, contributes to a dynamic community that can affect delivery volume and scheduling, particularly during the school year.

USPS delivery in Potsdam typically operates on a standard schedule, with deliveries made Monday through Saturday, barring holidays, and generally occurs between 9 AM and 5 PM.
