Seen as an unlucky day by many people, Friday, February 13 will see Greenlaw postmaster Martin Keegan and his wife Sheena close their counter for the last time, nearly four months after the office's fate was rubberstamped by Post Office Ltd.
The couple found out their closure date after being contacted by a Post Office engineer and received confirmation in the post a few days later.
And after running the office for the past nine years Martin said he, Sheena and their customers were upset and angry at having to let it go.
"I'm sad it's had to come to this as as far as I and everyone else was concerned this was and still is a busy and well-used post office and it will continue to be right up until we close.
"It has been completely destroyed and over the past three months our customers have been making their feelings very clear, particularly those running local businesses who have had to find alternatives.
"We are going to try and keep the store side of the business going but in the current economic climate this is going to be tough."
And Greenlaw won't be the only office shutting up shop in the coming weeks. As a result of the Post Office consultation, time was also called on offices in Eccles and Hutton.
Hutton is due to close on February 18, despite the best efforts of the Village Hall Committee who put a proposal forward to assume responsibility of the post office which is currently housed within the hall.
At the time of going to press, the postmistress at Eccles was still waiting for a closure date to be confirmed.
Despite reassurances from Sally Buchanan, Post Office Ltd's Network Development Manager for Scotland that the proposals "offered the best prospect for a sustainable way forward for Post Office® services," MSP for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, John Lamont reacted angrily to the network's decision, branding the consultation a "complete sham."
He blasted Post Office Ltd for "ignoring the views of local communities," and with the closures now imminent, John said he is worried how both businesses and residents with cope with the loss of their post offices.
"Having hosted public meetings which were attended by hundreds of residents, I am all too aware of the strength of public opposition to these closures," he commented.
"People across Berwickshire made their views crystal clear through the postcard petition, public meetings and direct submissions to Post Office Ltd. However, all this weight of opinion has been ignored in an effort to carry out the Government's proposals to close 2500 branches across the UK.
"During the consultation, one of the major concerns was for the future of small businesses which depend on the reliable service they receive from their branch. I am aware of continuing concern in these communities about what will happen to some of these businesses when the branches finally close.
"The Borders cannot afford to keep losing jobs and services and I fear that these closures might lead to even tougher times for some firms.
"During this whole process local people and their representatives have treated the Post Office and their consultation with respect, but unforgivably the Post Office has treated us with contempt.
"I feel particularly sorry for the staff who are so well regarded in their local communities and it is a great injustice that their post offices are being taken away from them.
Although the three offices concerned are still open for business at present, they won't be for much longer and will eventually be replaced by a mobile outreach service.
The service will be run by the current postmistress at Coldstream Post Office, Mary Clark, and she started her duties over the other side of the border earlier this week following the closure of Norham post office. She has yet to receive word on when her duties will expand to the affected areas in Berwickshire.
When it does start in the area, the new service will see a van calling in at each village on certain days each week.
For Greenlaw the service will be available from 2-4pm on Mondays; 9-11am on Tuesdays; 11.30am-1.30pm on Wednesdays; 9-11am on Thursdays and 2.30-4.30pm on Fridays.
People in Eccles will be able to use the service from 12-1.30pm on Tuesdays and 11.30am-1pm on Thursdays and finally in Hutton the service will be in the village from 12-1pm on Mondays and Fridays.
