Bemidji Post Office Temporary Operations

Bemidji, MN – Due to Saturday’s severe weather and a resulting power outage, retail services at the Bemidji Post Office have been temporarily suspended. Delivery services are also limited as we assess conditions and prioritize the safety of our employees and customers.

Power restoration efforts are underway, and the U.S. Postal Service will resume full operations as soon as conditions allow. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this service disruption. Further updates will be shared as they become available.

U.S. Postal Service Celebrates 250 Years

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to more than 170 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is celebrating its 250th year of service to customers amidst a network modernization plan aimed at restoring long-term financial sustainability, improving service, and maintaining the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

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