U.S. Postal Service to Close for Columbus Day on Oct. 13

SHARE NOW

In observance of the Columbus Day federal holiday, all U.S. Post Office locations across the state and nation will be closed on Monday, Oct. 13. There will be no regular mail delivery or retail services on the holiday. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

Despite the closures, the U.S. Postal Service will continue Priority Mail Express deliveries, and customers can still access a range of services at more than 2,600 self-service kiosks located in select Post Office lobbies across the country.

These kiosks allow customers to:

  • Print postage for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and international shipping,

  • Purchase stamps,

  • Weigh and mail packages, and

  • Access tracking information.

As part of USPS’s ongoing modernization efforts, some locations are now offering enhanced self-service options, including:

  • Rapid Dropoff Stations for pre-labeled packages,

  • Shipping label printing via QR code from participating merchants, and

  • Smart lockers for convenient package pickup and drop-off, with many available 24/7.

For customers seeking postal services during the holiday, the Postal Service recommends using the USPS Locator tool online to check for nearby kiosks and updated hours of operation.
