Plan accordingly, the U.S. Postal Service is closing next week.

In observance of Columbus Day, USPS locations will be closed on Monday, Oct. 13. The federal holiday officially celebrates the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas in 1492.

Only Priority Mail Express items will be delivered on the holiday, and regular mail delivery and retail services will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 14.

While Post Offices will be closed, customers can access many postal products and services through the Postal Service’s network of more than 2,600 self-service kiosks, which are available 24/7 in select Post Office lobbies nationwide.

The kiosks feature:

Postage printing for Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express and international shipping
