Rhode Island – On Monday, May 25, our employees will pause to celebrate Memorial Day. While we’ll be skipping the parades, beaches and cookouts this year, we will use the day to remember and honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms.

As we edge toward a new normal, the Postal Service wants you to know that we can help you to exercise social distancing while staying connected with your friends, loved ones and business associates.

At usps.com you can buy stamps and have them delivered to your home. You can also order packing and shipping supplies and print postage and labels from your own computer, then schedule a carrier pickup and skip the trip to the Post Office. We make it easy to do all of your mailing and shipping business without leaving your living room.

Regular retail and delivery operations will resume on Tuesday, May 26.

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