(NEXSTAR) — Monday is creeping ever-closer, but regardless of whether or not this is a long weekend for you, there's one less task you'll have to perform on October 13: checking your mailbox.
Monday, Columbus Day, is one of several holidays observed by federal offices and banks.
That includes the U.S. Postal Service, which will take the day off, leaving you without any new mail in your mailbox on Monday. (Unlike other government offices and agencies, the U.S. Postal Service is otherwise unaffected by the ongoing government shutdown.)
Other delivery services, like FedEx, UPS, and Amazon, will be available on Monday.
Your local bank will also likely be closed for the day. Local services like garbage pickup and libraries may close in observance of the holiday as well. It's best to confirm
