WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Postal Service will observe Veterans Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, and all Post Office locations will be closed in recognition of the federal holiday. Only Priority Mail Express will be delivered that day, with regular mail delivery and retail services resuming on Wednesday, Nov. 12.
“On this important day we honor the military veterans who have served our nation,” said Postmaster General and CEO David Steiner. “The Postal Service is proud to be one of the largest civilian employers of America’s veterans. Their dedication, discipline and commitment to service enrich our organization and strengthen our connection to the communities we serve.”
While Post Offices will be closed, customers can still access many postal products and services through the Postal Service’s network of more than 2,600 self-service kiosks located in select Post Office lobbies nationwide.
The kiosks allow customers to print postage for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express and international shipping; purchase stamps; weigh and mail packages; and obtain tracking information.
As part of USPS’s modernization efforts, more self-service options are becoming available at additional locations, including Rapid Dropoff Stations for pre-labeled packages, merchant QR code label printing, and smart lockers that allow for package drop-off and pickup, often with 24/7 access.
Many self-service kiosks are available around the clock, providing flexibility and convenience for customers even when Post Offices are closed for the holiday.
