NORTH CAROLINA — In celebration of Columbus Day, Post Offices across the state will be closed on Monday, Oct. 8 and there will be no mail delivery.  Normal mail delivery will resume on Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Our online Post Office, www.usps.com, is open around the clock to help you purchase postage and shipping supplies, track your packages, change your address, find a location to renew your passport or sign up for our latest innovation, Informed Delivery.

Informed Delivery lets residential consumers see what is arriving in their mailboxes by sending them digital previews of their incoming envelopes and postcards. These images can be viewed via email notifications or accessed through an online dashboard at informeddelivery.usps.com — perfect for travelers to check for important letters that are arriving over the holiday weekend.

Our online hiring center is also open 24 hours a day at www.usps.com/careers where you can explore your options and possibly land in a new job. The Postal Service is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

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