Even when brick-and-mortar facilities are closed, some post office services are available online 24/7, including on holidays. With a USPS.com account, you can order stamps, print shipping labels, order boxes and other mail supplies, and request package pickups.

Stamps are also sold at most major supermarkets, pharmacies and office supply stores, which are open on some federal holidays.

FedEx and UPS holidays

Other major delivery companies set their own schedules and operate partially or in full on some federal holidays. FedEx and UPS do not pick up or deliver on Memorial Day except through their services for urgent and critical deliveries. Their retail locations may be closed or operate on modified schedules; check with your local FedEx Office or UPS Store for details.
