The U.S. Postal Service will observe Independence Day on Saturday, July 4. All Post Office locations will be closed. Regular mail delivery and retail services will resume on Monday, July 6. Post Offices will be open, and deliveries will occur as normal on Friday, July 3.
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.
The Postal Service is proud to join in the celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary, and will be honoring this milestone in a number of ways, including initiatives at select local Post Offices, themed merchandise, and patriotic Priority Mail envelopes and boxes while supplies last — available at Post Offices beginning in early July.
