Self-service options are available in many retail lobbies when Post Offices are closed
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.
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, PO 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.

Please Note: The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to more than 170 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is currently pursuing a transformation plan aimed at restoring long-term financial sustainability, improving service, and maintaining the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
