Foxdale Post Office, currently based in the EVF filling station in the village, will cease operations at the end of August.
Bosses say it's been losing money for a number of years, as more and more residents carry out their business online.
Talks are ongoing to set up an automated electronic kiosk in the store - but around 60 regular customers face losing the local service.
Interim Chief Executive Lisa Duckworth says there are no plans to close any more of the Island's 26 regional counters:
