The U.S. Postal Service will observe Columbus Day on Monday, Oct. 12.
All post office locations will be closed. Regular mail delivery and retail services will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 13, according to a news release from the U.S. Postal Service.
Customers are reminded that when post offices are closed, they can still visit usps.com to order stamps and free USPS boxes, and to access services such as hold mail, change of address, P.O. Box rental or renewal and Click-N-Ship to print pre-paid labels.
In addition, self-service kiosks are available in select lobbies nationwide. These kiosks feature: Postage printing for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express and international shipping; stamps for purchase; ability to weigh and mail packages; and package tracking information.
As USPS modernizes its retail locations, more self-service options are becoming available at more locations and may include: Rapid Dropoff Stations for customers who have already created and printed labels online; an option for customers to print shipping labels from a merchant-provided QR code; and USPS Smart Lockers that allow customers to both drop off and pick up packages.
Many self-service kiosks are available 24/7, offering customers flexibility and convenience even when Post Offices are closed, according to the news release.
