Madison, WI — On Monday, February 20, 2017, all Madison area post offices will observe President’s Day which is a federal holiday.  There will be no mail delivery or retail service on this day.  We will reopen on Tuesday, February 21st with full mail delivery and retail service.  Customers are encouraged to still 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,” said Postmaster Paul Nistler.  “This also applies to our business customers, many who will still be open during the holiday. We want to get a quick start on processing their mail.”

And for customers depositing mail on Tuesday, February 21st Nistler advises they drop their mail no later than 3 p.m. in order to get it processed sooner. “The earlier in the day we receive the mail, the sooner we can send it on its way to its destination.”

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