The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will close all post office locations on Monday, February 16th, for Presidents Day, suspending regular mail delivery and retail services. This closure impacts every single USPS branch nationwide. All retail services and standard mail delivery will resume on Tuesday, February 17th. The holiday closure highlights the USPS's ongoing push towards digital alternatives, encouraging customers to utilize online services and 24/7 self-service kiosks for postage printing, package weighing, and label printing.

These kiosks, available in select lobbies, offer critical functionality including Priority Mail and Express shipping options, stamps, package tracking, and USPS Smart Lockers for package pickup. The move underscores the agency's strategy to reduce physical footprint while maintaining service access during holidays, though it may inconvenience customers needing in-person assistance. USPS anticipates normal operations resuming Tuesday as the holiday concludes.
