DETROIT, MI — On Monday, February 19, 2018, the U.S. Postal Service will observe the Presidents Day federal holiday. There will be no mail delivery, however, a select number of Metro Detroit Post Offices will be open for full retail lobby service, including passport applications.

Customers are encouraged to drop their mail in blue street collection boxes, so they can be processed early the next day.

“We want to advise anyone with stamped or metered mail ready for delivery to drop this mail into a blue collection box instead of waiting to do so the following day,” says Detroit District Manager Lee Thompson. “This also applies to our business customers, many who will still be open during the holiday. The earlier in the day we receive the mail, the sooner we can send it on its way to its destination.”

The following Post Offices will be open on Presidents Day from 9:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M.:

All Post Offices will reopen on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, with full mail delivery and retail service.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
