January 13, 2012 USPS 1st Class Mail rates have increased as of January 1, 2012, as well as the other USPS services (Priority Mail, Express Mail, etc.) In addition, UPS, FedEx and DHL made pricing adjustments to cover increased expenses going into this year, but only at an average of 5%, much like they did last year.
May 2, 2011 Looking for USPS Post Office services in Downtown Modesto? Well, now that the Post Office on "I" Street is closed forever, we at Bear Postal are more than happy to fill that need and to provide all those USPS services and MORE!

March 15, 2011 Both DHL and FedEx have informed us at Bear Postal that there has been an increase in fraudulent emails claiming to come from DHL, FedEx or other shipping providers. The messages appear to come from a random '@dhl.com' or '@fedex.com' email addresses and have a vague subject referencing parcel tracking, invoice or item numbers. The attachment is typically a zip file with 'FEDEXInvoice' in the file name and may contain a computer virus. If you receive a message matching this description do not open the attachment. Delete the email immediately.
March 1, 2011 The rumors are true, as we have now received an official statement from the local USPS Postmaster that they will be closing the historic "I" Street Post Office location as of the end of April this year. We understand that their Post Office Box customers have been told that their mail will now be delivered to the USPS location on Kearney Avenue, nearly 3 miles outside of Downtown Modesto.
We at Bear Postal would like to take this opportunity to remind our downtown neighbors that we are here to serve them at our "K" Street location with friendly and convenient mailbox and USPS products, in addition to offering our full line of DHL, FedEx and UPS services. Please stop by or call us for more information about how to keep your mail downtown!
