RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany --  Need a box mailed to back home in the states? Hate standing in long lines? Then make your way over to the new Southside Postal Finance Annex today.

Now with the holiday season fast approaching, lines at the Northside and Southside Post Offices will be much longer than normal.

"Our goal is to take the stress out of the process of mailing packages by giving people better options," said Master Sgt. Roscoe Supinger, 86th Communication Squadron Assistant Postmaster. "The annex offers express mail, first-class, priority mail, money orders and many other services that the Southside Post Office doesn't offer."

Additionally, for most Airmen in the dorms without a vehicle, it is difficult to get to the Northside Post Office to mail packages.

"We opened up this new annex to help alleviate some of the congestion from the Northside Post Office and to give our Airmen in the dormitories a location close by that they could mail their letters and parcel," said Supinger.

Now that the annex is open, the Southside of Ramstein has a fully-functioning post office just like its Northern counterpart.

"Having the new annex open is more convenient for the Airmen because of its location. It keeps them from having to walk or get a ride to the Northside Post Office if they don't have a car," said Senior Airman Nikeen Coleman, 86th CS postal specialist.

With these new services available, Airmen here can mail out packages faster and more efficiently than before.

The new Southside Postal Finance Annex is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is located across from the Southside Post Office in building 2410 behind Service Credit Union.
