PORTLAND, ME - While Monday, January 20th, is a federal holiday, you still have access to postal services at Self Service Kiosks (SSKs) located in several ME Post Offices. You can perform a number of postal transactions at the kiosks including weighing and shipping packages, buying postage, mailing letters, looking up ZIP Codes and accessing other mailing information. Special services like certified mail and insurance are also available.
You can go to www.usps.com to find out their hours and to find other locations that sell products and services by using the Locate A Post Office search function.
In Maine, the South Portland and Scarborough Post Offices have SSKs in their 24-hour lobbies. The lobby at the Portland Main Post Office at 125 Forest Avenue is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. to provide access to its SSK.
