Post Office's Bank Holiday operations for August 2023

Wed, 16 Aug 2023

Isle of Man Post Office (IOMPO) have announced the following operational changes for the August Bank Holiday.

There will be no deliveries or collections on August 28, however the Treasury have advised that pensions and allowances due for payment on the 28th can be collected on Friday, August 25.

All post offices will be closed unless except for Port St Mary which will be open 9:00am – 12:30pm.

IOMPO have said that on Tuesday, August 29 no airmail will arrive on Island and the next dispatch of mail via airplane to the UK will take place on Tuesday evening.

During the Manx Grand Prix period (August 20 – August 28) there may be some delays to normal delivery and collection time due to the increase in traffic volume on the Island’s roads.

On Friday, August 25 roads close at 12:30pm and Saturday, August 25 roads are scheduled to close at 11:00am which will impact deliveries. In these instances IOMPO will try to deliver as early as possible.

It added that: “Should delivery be impossible due to road closures, IOMPO regret to be unable to deliver to addresses on the course or where access is only available via the course and will deliver these items at its earliest opportunity.”

The list of operational changes are also available on their website www.iompost.com/bankholiday
